Traveling here from Japan was a shit show to say the least. Between my hubby constantly forgetting important paperwork everywhere we went, which sent me back to our hotel room multiple times, to small random panic attacks about whether or not our dogs made it on to our million flights....oh, and a toddler to entertain for long periods of time, like 8 to 9 hour flights on a regular. Dear Lawrd!!!! Mama needed an adult beverage every thirty minutes to get through that mess. But when all was said and done we made it safely, all of us, to Atlanta where my parents were there to greet us and help us with our luggage and over sized, considered cargo, dog kennels.
By the way, when did everything become so expensive in the states? I swear we dropped more money just moving back than we ever have....ever!! We have even been to Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia all on one vacation and never spent that much money on the whole vacation, which was all 5 star.
We finally moved into our house and I can say without a doubt that I'm super grateful for this big beautiful DETACHED house the Air Force provided us with.
Isn't it gorgeous?! This is way better than I ever dreamed, especially for the Air Force. We thought long and hard about buying a house to it came down to the fact that we don't want to permanently own a home in Ohio and we have a lot of friends that have a hard time renting out their homes, so we will wait for when the time is right and probably when we were closer to retirement status...years from now.
To say Chrispy is settling in nicely is and understatement! He found his perfect hiding place too, which means I need to use all the other cabinets in order to keep this one open for him :)
I have plans already brewing in my mind about how I'm going to decorate this house. This time though, I'm only going to paint one room of the house since I don't think we will be here longer than three years. I'm thinking gray stripes down a rather long hallway ;) It should be great.
Chrispy loves walking in and out of all the rooms we have....he is constantly on the move. I couldn't be happier for this little guy to actually get lost in a house! Did I mention I love that this place is BIG?!!! :)
With nothing but time on my hands until our furniture arrives, guessing around March, I have a blank canvas to work with and get set up and prepped.
More updates to come....hard to keep up with a blog when doing it on your IPad since the movers took your love, your baby, your Mac desktop :(
Happy Holidays Y'all!
