I’d Rather Be Blogging
I would much rather be blogging than unpacking. At first, unpacking is fun – it’s like Christmas, opening boxes, unwrapping paper and discovering the treasures inside. Then a few days into it and you can’t find the brackets to hang the towel rack and you can’t figure out why the down comforter was packed in with shoes and stuff from the shed. Weeks later and while the boxes are decreasing, the house is a big mess. Ah, the joys of moving.
The realities of civilian life are starting to creep up on us. Already, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights are booked and we haven’t even signed anyone up for scouts yet. I’m a little worried about trying to get the children where they need to be each day and I’m hoping I’m not going to have scheduling conflicts. Living on base, we were 3 -5 minutes away from the soccer field, chapel and scout meeting facilities. Ballet was farther away, but we had a carpool set up. It all worked out very nicely and we didn’t need to venture far from our safe little world.
But we are enjoying it here in Colorado. We’ve already had friends visit and the wildlife we’ve spied in our neighborhood alone now includes a bobcat. It was jaywalking across the street, just minding its own busines, then jumped the fence into a neighbor’s backyard.
I have pictures to share of our recent adventures, I just have to get them uploaded and resized. I also have to tell you about how a recent trip to Mc Donald’s almost resulted in needing body work done on the car…
Car repair and McDonald’s, that doesn’t sound good. I know what you mean about the moving thing. Our household goods come on Monday, and although I want the finished product, the in between work is rather daunting. Good luck, and keep your eye on the prize. You are almost there.
We were the visitors. Let me tell you folks, their new house is BEAUTIFUL!
