Countdown

Hubby starts his final quarter here tomorrow.  It's a little bittersweet- I'm excited to be going back to the east coast, but I've really loved the whole shore duty thing.  These past two weeks were nice, having him home either at a very reasonable hour or for the whole day.  I'm definitely feeling spoiled, heehee... but isn't that ironic that I should feel spoiled to have my husband home every night.

Anyway, the big move is in the works.  We are getting our cars ready (new tires, minor repairs, etc) and our stuff ready.  Just sold a bunch of stuff on craigslist, but for some reason, we still have a lot of things.  Not bad if we were staying in one place for a long time, but as the past dictates (and the future predicts), we never stay anywhere longer than two years.  It's much easier when you don't own a lot!

I'll miss CA in some ways.  Just today, I was sitting outside in capris and a sleeveless shirt, and got a little sunburn on my arms.  In March.  That's totally unheard of in NH... in fact, I think they recently got some more snow.  I'll definitely miss that.  Won't miss the power outages, though.  We had one today for whatever reason.  For a place with mild weather, I'm surprised at how many times we lose power.  Eh, there are other pros and cons, but that's what's on my mind right now.

We I am looking at houses to rent in CT.  The search is going pretty well- I've found some great places- but it would help to have orders (*ahem ahem*).  I'm optimistic that whenever we get there, we'll have some nice houses to choose from. 

The massage school around here has students giving 1 hour massages for $35.  I'm soooo taking advantage of that soon.

Eh, that was random.  Anyway, must go back to playing referee.  Phineas and Ferb just ended and I can hear the boys hitting each other.  Fun times!

Good luck with the moving preperations. Moving across the country is NOT easy!!

A move every two years? Wow. I would be an absolute wreck. We (I) sometimes forget the sacrifices that military families make so their spouses can protect us. Thank you.

It did snow in NH last week. And we can't seem to manage to get out of the 40s - each morning I wake to 25 degrees on the thermometer :( Oh well, it'll warm up soon!

Enjoy your massage!

It's supposed to snow here again tomorrow! A FOOT! God help me. I hope you find a great place in CT, and I second Tonya's "Thank you" for the sacrifices that you make.
