Long days...

So we finally made it to the coast after two long days of driving. We had snow storm after snow storm. Roads were horrible, wind was worse. Now we are in Grasonville, MD about an hour away from Dover. Tomorrow we have a busy day. First we drive to drop Cheyenne off at a kennel...first time for this. I am an emotional wreck about it too. Cheyenne has always gone with us or stayed with friends, I just hope she is scared by this. After dropping Cheyenne off we head south to the base to check in and then get our house. Hopefully this won't be too painfully long. I am sad that we lose our internet and tv for a few days. What am I going to do without CBS Monday night and Survivor? I am looking forward to seeing new places and being out of the south. And yes, even though we were in Illinois it was southern. We sometimes felt like we hadn't left Memphis. As my dad pointed out tonight, we finally left some of the worst cities to live in and moved somewhere nice. I hope Dover doesn't disappoint us.

Time flies


Wow...How can I say it any other way but time flies when you aren't ready. I can't believe that Jeff and I are moving in three weeks! There is so much to do and we are losing time to do it in. So far things seem to be going well. We apparently have a base house in Dover, which is a huge relief...hopefully it's ok. I was told that it was brand new, but it's a one car garage and a duplex. These things shouldn't really matter to me, but when you have lived in this new house we have now, it's hard to go back to a duplex. Jeff has been gone now for four weeks, only one more to go and then he is home to help with some of the burden of moving. It's amazing what we Air Force wives have to go through to keep our families running. Of course while he is gone we get one of the biggest snow falls in years. Over 7 inches fell at our house in two days. To some of you that isn't a lot, but for places that can't handle it...wow it was a mess! But this is my favorite part about a snow fall, it gets warm, blue cloudless skies and the snow melting around you. It reminds me of Wyoming in the spring.
