This is our side of the new house. Hopefully I’ll be back Friday with a new #SNRyanGosling.

Where Are the Posts?

We’re moving! Finally! You (hopefully) won’t have to hear about the leaky roof any more since housing is moving us from the leaky house to a new house. This also means everything that goes with moving and then some. We’ll have the packers and movers for two days. We’ve also been moving stuff ourselves to… read more »

The Secret to Versatile Decorating on the Move

Today I have a guest post from Heather of HometoHeather.com. Heather has written about decorating small spaces with her living room makeover, and I knew military families (and others) could relate, so I asked her to write a post here. What really inspired me was what Heather did with the reading corner she made in… read more »

PCSing by the Numbers

-3 days since DH had a meeting and was told nothing. The subject of the meeting had nothing to do with the fact that he needs orders soon. -4 months until the cadets commission and DH’s job is essentially done since he’s not slated to be there next year. -6 months until they tear this… read more »

Does EFMP Really Work?

I guess we’re about to find out. My husband will be teaching through the school year.  His orders go just a bit beyond that, but really, they’ll want to get someone new in and get them on the ball before the fall semester starts.

Reason #564 I’m Glad Our Rude Neighbors Moved

I’m so glad our rude neighbors that we had to share a driveway with for the last year FINALLY cleared housing the other day. The reason now? I noticed for some weird reason there’s no garbage can or recycle bin on their side of the driveway. I guess they had some last minute garbage when… read more »

Military Logic

So we moved into this house about six months ago. Since then it’s been back and forth on whether we’re moving into new housing or not while they tear these down and make way for new houses.

I feel so disorganized since we moved. My “office” was right by the front door and I had an area for all those school papers and such. Now in this house, located in what locals call “Smurf Village,” there just isn’t room for the computer and its desk downstairs. For 2009, I’ve decided to get… read more »
