Monkeying around...

Military moves

Well here we are again. It is time to move. This life definitely has it ups and downs and moving around (alot) is just another part of it. We will be heading out of here in just about a month. So many things going on right now. Our house is up for sale. People popping in alot to look at the house. Me trying to keep it clean (well all the kids help tremendously) and show ready. Ugghh! I really do not like this part as you see I am a lazy housekeeper and I like it that way! I have to admit though it is nice to look around and not see all the clutter. It helps that we rented a storage shed and put like half our house in it. Just kidding, but there is a lot of stuff in storage.

I am really happy to be leaving this place. Not that we don't have some great memories here. But we also have a lot of memories without Jud. He was gone almost 3 out of the 4 years we spent here. He was away on either 6 month deployments or 4 month surges or just out to sea for who knows what. I am so grateful to be transferring to shore duty for the next 2 years. It ain't long but it is something and that is alot to us.

We are excited about the changes that we will be able to experience. We have seen a lot of this country in the last 14 years. In order we have lived in California, Virginia, Connecticut, Maine, New Mexico, Florida and now we are off to Colorado. It is not a boring or dull life by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes I wish we could just settle some place and be done with all this moving. Doesn't look to happen anytime soon though.

I guess we'll just continue to try and experience all we can out of each place and be content where ever we are at the moment. For now we are off again, starting over again and embracing the new one more time.
