I survived the movers (but got no t-shirt)
Hee hee, totally recycled that post title from three years ago.
No mishaps to report at all. The movers were amazing, they descended on my stuff like a cloud of locusts and were finished that day - I have never been packed that fast before. I will say that I did a MUCH better job at getting rid of stuff this time though.
So now we are living with the Navy's temporary furniture and wow, I am strongly considering taking a flame thrower to my stuff when I get it back because obviously I don't actually need it. I did pack ALL of my fall type clothes and somehow left myself with sleeveless shirts. Not sure what the thinking was there given that it will be October when we get back.
My flight date is the 4th of October but I have to spend up to two weeks in Virginia for outprocessing. I am hoping they will get done in much less than that though. I have already reserved the Navy Lodge which will save me buckets of money.
Good news on the house front - my dad and stepmother found a really neat house that they are working a deal to hold for me. It is four bedroom, two story on 9 acres of land and even has a vintage barn. The boys will roll down a large grassy hill to arrive at the school parking lot. He sent me a bunch of pictures and the property is just gorgeous. We will move straight in and my household goods should just about meet me there (with my van hopefully). The deal is being worked out this week and when it is more solid, I will put the pictures he sent me into the gallery for all to drool over see.
Nice and tidy. Now all I have to do is find a job, OH RN LICENSE, WHERE ARE YOU? I am actually expecting it in a few weeks. I have found a job opening with the Public Health Dept that sounds way too good to be true. With the way my luck for this move has been running, it will wait for me!
