It's Really Happening!!!



Finally, finally, finally we are moving!!!!

After a ridiculously long time, we found out yesterday when UCB (unaccompanied baggage) will be picked up (ASAP!), when they will pack and move our HHG (household goods), and when we fly to GA!

Why did we just now find out, you ask? Well...let's just blame it on the Army. Joe's current unit continues to rely on him to do training and extra duties even though we're PCSing, and even though he's not deploying with them. It's dumb, really. These people are going to have to get used to not having him there! Saying this makes it seem like he's a much bigger deal than he might actually be, haha! The fact of the matter is, though, that a lot of people are PCSing soon and the new commander is, well....stubborn, for lack of a more accurate term. ;-) He's been working long hours and has hardly had a chance to do any  PCS-related things. And it's not like I can do them for him! Needless to say, we're ready to get outta here! And in a little over a month, that's exactly what we'll be doing!!

Things I'm looking forward to:


  • Being on the mainland - FINALLY!
  • Being in the same-ish time zone as my family & friends.
  • Shopping at Hobby Lobby!!!!!!!
  • Eating at Chick Fil A more than once a year.
  • Being able to drive. (And end up in another state.)
  • Not being surrounded by water.
  • Experiencing seasons again. (I know it's early, but I'm ready for FALL!)
  • Not flying anywhere.


Things I'm not looking forward to:


  • Flying to GA. (I can't explain how much I loathe flying.)
  • Being without our stuff for 2ish months.
  • Living out of suitcases.
  • Not being able to cook.
  • Living in a hotel.
  • Being without our car for at least a month.
  • Being surrounded by boxes.
  • Flying with a baby. Again. {Do you see the pattern here?}


All in all, I'm not a huge fan of moving. But I am most definitely a fan of where the moving process will take me! I'm not ready for the inconveniences, but I am definitely ready to get off this rock!

Are you PCSing soon? Are you excited or dreading it?
