I'm Back (Kind Of)
I'm back!!!
Well, kind of..... We've run in to a lot of struggles and challenges with our move. Of all of our moves, this one is probably up there on the list as the worst. We are still missing boxes and totes, which one of them is a lot of my clothes. We are still missing hardware as the movers misplaced our hardware box. I've finally been able to find all the boxes to put together my computer. Wouldn't you know, the movers put my monitor in one box, one of the cables in another and the other cable in another box. When I finally made the space in the room, my wifi wouldn't extend to that portion of the house. So then I spent several hours looking for our Velop Wifi Extender, which of course were in several boxes. Anyways, I FINALLY have the computer hooked up. The house is a mess with boxes all over as we are slowly unpacking. Several things were broken when we moved in, so we are waiting on maintenance to fix these issues. I just finished lining all the cabinets so we can finish unboxing the kitchen. We are working on getting a place cleaned out so we can set up the dining table. It's all slow-going. BUT I got my computer hooked up! Tomorrow, I take my daughter to college for her Freshman orientation. I'll be gone all day. Hopefully the heat and humidity doesn't kill me. It's been quite some time since my body felt this much humidity and heat that it's not tolerating it very well. We always thought we'd retire down at Fort Benning (Georgia), but after this week, I told my husband I'm open to going back to Colorado where there is no humidity, no excessive heat and not nearly as many bugs as there are here!! But just like every duty station, it's only temporary. In three years, we might be liking this place Well, that's it from me. I didn't leave you. I've missed you all so very much. I've missed scrapping so very much and am quite thankful to see the light is within arm's reach these days!! So what did I miss this past month? |

So sorry it’s been such a struggle. Moving is a lot of work without the extra hassles. It hooray for your computer and light at the end of the tunnel! Glad you’re back and hoping you get to relax and scrap soon!

I currently live maybe 15 minutes from Columbus, GA (Fort Benning) I definitely get to hear when they're training. It's really hot and if the heat doesn't get you the humidity takes you out. You learn to do as little as possible from 12-4. So sorry the move sucked and I hope things get easier.

Yaaaaay!!! I'm SO happy you're back. I have really missed your fabulous LOs!!
Sorry for all the troubles you've had with this move. I still think you should visit us in Idaho... no humidity and no cockroaches!!!

Sorry you're having a hard move. So your daughter did end up moving with you? I thought that when you first got your orders she was planning on staying in Colorado. Having her close by is a plus, right? And the weather will will get better when summer ends... Like in October. ; )

It's been quite without you! So sorry that it stunk, but hopefully no other one will be that bad.

Glad to have you back! Sorry this move hasn't gone quite as well as the others! Do they have to pack for you, or can you pack things yourself? (sorry, never had anyone else move us, we've only ever moved ourselves).
Hopefully you get everything figured out, found and fixed soon and can settle in and make your new place a home!

oh what a nightmare! I'm glad I packed all our stuff. I've got a bit of a compulsion disorder when it comes to where things go...

I can't believe they split your shoes up like that! Usually our packers have been great. But this move wasn't so great. A lot of our boxes have water damage done to them, which means inside there is a lot of mold or ruined items. Lots of damages being claimed with this move Quote:

If we didn't move every 1-3 years, I'd totally pack our stuff. But with moving so much, it gets old and tiresome. My husband said we will have at least two more moves to make and we can do it on our own. I reminded him that we struggled getting the Ikea shelf up the stairs, that we are getting older, and doing it ourselves really isn't much of an option if he wants to stay in the Army uninjured So sadly, these next few moves will be done by movers |

It's so nice to have you back online! I'm so sorry to hear about your challenges with the move! How frustrating! So sorry to hear about your daughter too. It must be really major to lose all her scholarships. Big hugs! I will keep her in my prayers.
