On the Road -- Day 1

We are on the way to Virginia. We left Great Lakes at 0930 this morning (which was 15 minutes ahead of schedule). We made it out of Chicago with minimal traffic and then out of Illinois without any incidents. After we hit Indiana we had a light come on on the dashboard of the truck so we had to call and the guy at Penske told us to take it to a shop to get it looked at. Well the closest shop was is in Lafayette Indiana so we had to travel on down that way anyway. We thought it would take longer to fix the truck and so we got a hotel room. Well not more than ten minutes after getting the room they called and said that the truck was ready. Instead of getting the truck and going we decided to stay here tonight and get in a full day of driving tomorrow since we are both so tired. More updates from the road.
Later everyone.

Time to move

So moving day is quickly approaching. We have a house at our next duty station and thankfully this time it is a really nice and recently remodeled house at the base. The only downside is that it is about 30 minutes away from the base where my DH needs to be. But its worth the drive. And the other benefit is that we will be about 10 minutes from the beach, so that means this summer we will be there a lot. Im just glad to be moving back to the East Coast. Only four more days.

Ticktock...ticktock

My husband and I are getting ready to move to Virginia. He got orders over Christmas vacation. While I am excited, I am also approaching our moving day with mixed emotions. I have made a few good friends here in Illinois and I am dreading the goodbyes. While being here has helped me toughen up and become a stronger person and helped me become more in control of my emotions than I was a year ago, I still know that Im probably going to end up being a blubbering mess. Ugh! I hate crying. It makes me feel like crap sometimes cause my nose gets all stuffy and my eyes turn red. Lol.
I am however looking forward to moving back to the East Coast. It means that I will be alittle bit closer to my family and friends. As well as closer to my husband's family. So I am looking forward to being able to drive about 6 hours and being able to visit and having friends and family visit.
