This Time It’s Personal

We’re Moving!

The decision has been made, we’re moving to base housing within the next two months. It’s kind of exciting, really. I’m not much of a fan of moving, but this move will definitely benefit us in both the short and long run.

There are things I’m going to miss about living here. I’ll miss the lake in my back yard, and watching the ducks, geese and beavers in the morning. I’ll miss the 10 foot ceilings and the fireplace. I’ll miss my downstairs neighbors, who have always been extremely nice, and who’s children I adore.

I won’t miss the electric range or the toilets that you’ve got to fiddle with to get to flush. I won’t miss the extremely cheap vinyl tiles that keep coming up, or the kitchen counters that haven’t been level in more years than I can count. I won’t miss the windows that I can barely fight open, and the noise of an apartment complex that comes pouring in if I have managed to get them open.

There will be challenges in base housing as well, I’m sure. But it’s time for a move, and I’m pretty happy about it. Lucky for us I used to be a professional mover, and I can have this whole house packed up in about a week all by myself.

Time to start getting prices on boxes!
