We're moving on up

The move is on, full force. Eric spoke to a Realtor up in Jamestown today, and as soon as all the crap is out of this house I will be really excited about looking at a new one. Every thing here is finishing up and it has been super hard to say good bye, as it is equally hard to watch my girls say good bye to their friends.
Yesterday Danielle had her end of year program. I knew going it would be a hard morning. She has a special bond with her teacher Miss Noon, she was one of the first students at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Preschool when it opened two and a half years ago, and Miss Noon has been her teacher ever since. She has been such a good positive influence on Danielle. To me also, in my times of very little faith (oh boy I have had a struggle this year) she has been a beacon to me, with out even knowing it. It is a hard time for faith and rarely do you find a woman of true faith living it daily. That is Miss Noon. She is just a special lady with a big heart, when around her it is hard not to feel that love. We will surely miss her, and Beautiful Savior.
With tears in my eyes, as they always are when moving, it is such a stress filled time. With five kids in the mix and a delusional husband it is down right crazy!
Okay so more on my delusional husband. Yes, he spoke to a Realtor in Jamestown today and has it in his head that we can stay in some hotel room until an eight bedroom house opens for winter rental in September. Now wait, he starts school in July. It would be fine, the kids and I could stay at my parents until after labor Day when the girls start school and move in then, but no he wants us to stay together. I understand that, he was gone for fourteen months last year and is only been home since November. But lets call crazy, crazy! So as I am sorting and cleaning, and trashing stuff in our house he is looking at houses to rent on line.
He did in the end get a lot of the stuff we needed to get rid of to the thrift store on base and kinda sorted out the garage. I'll be glad when our stuff is on the moving truck on it's way. Yes, because then the cleaning frenzy will start. Cross your fingers and say a prayer that this house will be clean enough for us to leave next Friday!

Blah, blah, blah!

I haven't been on in a while, just living the dream. So much of my life is just plain boring. Lets see we went up north to my parents for Easter and as always had to spend useless time with my husbands family Easter morning at an over crowded restaurant, thus the useless part, because you could speak to anyone, let alone think. What crap. We went to a very nice happy wedding, with two people much in love. We celebrated Sarah's and my Aunt Ger's birthday and the kids had a ball. Eric my brother and dad caught a Flyers game for Eric's birthday. So much squashed into a weekend.
Back at Fort Campbell, we are getting ready to move to Newport. Much, much stress. Will we be there twelve months, or fifteen or 24 months. Do we rent a house and hope we can go month to month after twelve month lease is up? Do we just move into a smaller twin in the Military housing area? I talked to the woman in charge and she was happy to tell me that they have a four bedroom waiting for us there. A little smaller then the single we have here. Ahhhhh what to do.
Eric had surgery on his ankle, and has went out today for a hair cut, and says he feels pretty good. He did do really well, and we are hoping for a full recovery.
I can tell the kids are a bit stressed, it has to be hard to say good bye, and move on. Danielle has went to the same Pre-school since we moved here, and even know she would be moving on to Kindergarten, it has been very hard for her, she has been questioning me on the move non stop. Luckily a lot of the people here are moving on this summer. We have some great friends that are moving on with us, and a family we are going to reconnect with, that we haven't seen since Italy. Their sons are the same age as Gabby and Kay, they played with them when they where four and two. They don't remember. So it is all good, and the craziness has yet to start.
