Playing Catch Up.

It's been a long trek this year. Norm will be retiring at the end of the year from the military, and in the next few days they will be coming to pack our household goods. We made the decision to move back "Home" to TN.

The economy is playing a big part in this move, as VA seems like a huge roadblock in the job market, not to mention things seem a bit better in the area of TN we will be moving to.

At the beginning of September we went ahead and took the children down there to be with family and be able to have a full school year instead of moving a couple of months into the school year. I miss them so....I talk to them at least twice a day, waking them in the AM and just before bedtime to wish them sweet dreams and send them lots of love.

It is so strange to do this after almost 15 years of NO CHANGE (unless you count moving into this home two years ago).....of being in the same place for so long. One accumulates MUCH STUFF. We are however looking forward to being out of this house, which has turned out to be somewhat of a lemon, and sucked many $$$ from our pocket in the process.

Hopefully life will be much simplier as civilians than the hectic every day rigors of "military" life. Onward and upward I always say....it has to get better....so I will play "catch up" again when I get a chance...until then...STAY TUNED!
