Getting Ready to Move...Again.

Kind of seems like we are always moving, huh??!! Well that is because we have been! ha ha ha In that last year we've moved (the girls and I) about 3-4 times. We moved from New Mexico to Pennsylvania when Niles started his training to become a Flight Engineer. We stayed with my Mom for about 6 months and then got word that Niles would have a two month break. In desperate need for our daddy we packed up and moved back to New Mexico (move #2). We then had to make a bid decision. Do we stay in New Mexico while Niles goes to Arkansas? (knowing this training was around 6 months) or do we move to Arkansas with Niles, knowing it was going to be a short 6 month stay but be with him while he finished his training? The answer was clear...we were moving again (move #3) to Arkansas.

So now, 6 months later, I am here to tell you, yet again, we are moving! BUT, this time it is for a more permanent stay (as permanent as a military life will allow, I guess). We knew that with Niles taking this new job we would have a permanent move to a new base at the end of his training. All of this moving around in between was for me to have help after having Addeline and to be with our daddy as much as possible while the kids were still young. About 6 months ago we received our news that our new location would be Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It was our second pick of places to go, so we were very pleased with our new assignments!

Niles will finish is training and complete everything he needs to be certified on November 15th. He will out process and drive back to New Mexico. Holloman is still his place of residency and he will need to finish up last minute paper work to make this move official. We have our "official orders" to North Carolina and he will in-process to his new base on December 5th.

I, and the girls, will stay in Arkansas until our lease runs out in our apartment. We have the moving truck reserved and paid for! I pick it up on November 30th and have two men hired to help me load up the truck. We will leave Arkansas on the 30th and get to North Carolina on the 1st of December, to our new home! Niles will meet up with us on the 4th of December and we will finally start the process of settling in to our home!

Last week we were notified that the home we were hoping to rent went through, and this week we mailed off the lease and deposit! We are so excited to be in a real home again, with space, and extra bedrooms, and SPACE!!!!

For the Next few weeks we are super busy, three weeks and 4 days to be exact but who is counting?!?! I am packing, and cleaning, and packing, and cleaning!!! Here is to a safe and some-what pleasant move!!! Wish us luck!
