2 years later...

I often sit and think, "Man, I should be writing this stuff down."

I happened to read a friend's blog tonight about her pregnancy and remembered, I used to Blog...

So here I am!

Too much has happened in the past to years to bring anyone up to speed that hasn't been along for the ride. The short version, the twins are potty trained, super duper road warriors and we have now PCS'd (relocated) to Alabama.

We are 48 hours away from closing on our second house, soon to be called home. 53 days is a long time to be "wandering" but I know people who have wandered for longer. I am also aware that there are people who are not 2 days away from ending their homelessness, I count myself blessed.

We have SO many plans for making this house our home... Dear Lord, please let it be as fun as it is in my mind right now! Time will tell.

Even though we don't officially close on the house until Monday, the sellers have given us a set of keys to begin loading some of our things into the house this weekend. My plan is to set up the twin's room with their big girl bunk beds and have it as a surprise for them when we take them to the house to move in Monday or Tuesday. I will post some pictures somewhere.

I decided that I would like to make Roman Shades for the windows. There is an AMAZING fabric store in Fayetteville, TN that I am certain I will be able to find something that will compliment the twin's bedding.

I really would like to decorate this house as well or better than our house in NC. We were unwilling to paint the army's housing, so we are (or I am) eager to truly personalize this space. I have a rough outline of what I want to get done laid out, tomorrow we start the heavy lifting!

There are so many things that I feel have fallen by the wayside during our time of displacement. I have not exercised regularly, I haven't eaten nearly enough raw food, and I haven't gotten enough sleep. The bed we have slept on for the past 8 weeks is what we call a "Think happy thoughts bed" because it is SO uncomfortable, that you have to think happy thoughts to get some sleep, rest is relative, I don't think we have truly rested since we have been here. We have slept... Something Troy is able to achieve FAR easier that I am, a state of sleep. 2.5 seconds after he rolls over, he is gone... I think I will join him.

Until next time...
