New Outlook on Blogging
So I know that it's been a while, ok over a month, since I have written anything. As I look at everyone's blogs that I love to read they all talk about their kids and what thoes little ones are up to. There are no little one's running around underfoot at our house and I feel that there is nothing that I have been up to. So . . . yesterday I was at a good friends house and we were talking about blogging and she told me to write a blog as a journal for yourself. Of coure you can't put all the personal stuff on the wide open internet, but I am going to take her advice and just write what I am feeling or mundane things that happen to me each day. She said, sure they may be mundane to you, but funny or facaniating to others. Plus with everything going on in the world there are a lot of things that I have an opion about.
For now I will tell you about moving. Being a Navy wife I have gotten pretty good at it, but I must admit that I have been pampered in this area. You see in the Navy when it's time to move these guys come to the house and go through everything putting in boxes that they bring while you sit back and watch. Since this move is not a "Navy" move we, mostly I, have been packing up all our things. Let me tell you if you feel your house is full of crap that you don't use just pack up all your things into storage. I have a huge pile for trash and give away. It has been a cleansing experience for me. It has also been a help that everything is going to be in storage for 6 or more months, due to that I have to think if what I want to keep and will be ok for that amount of time in storage.
(taken from moving.org. . . just an example of what our house looks like)
As for where we will be living. . . . Brad on the ship and me with the in-laws. I had planned on living with my parents in KS, but the need for travel nurses in such a small town has not been lucrative. With Marti and Keith living in the Dallas area, it's makes travel nursing very lucrative. I am so excited to be around friends and family during Brad's deployment. Don't get me wrong, I have tons of friends here in VA, but it's still hard to come home to a people empty house (remeber I always had the pups to great me at the door.) Nothing will be like having Brad home, but this will be a ton better than staying here by myself. Thanks to all of you who support us and the US Navy.
