12 Weeks and Counting

It is official that we are leaving in February. Our actual report date is Feb 10 so we will be leaving in mid-late January for our final (hopefully) cross country trip. We were going to take a trip down in December but we found out from the army that if we move prior to getting offical orders then the military will not pay us to move so needless to say we have decided to wait for those orders. We began packing up the house prior to finding that out so we are actually doing good now. All of the rooms are packed except the kitchen and laundry room. Of course since we still have a few months left we still have some things out, but basically we are ahead of the game. Since we are only taking 1 trip now I sold my car today actually because we have 3 vehicles and only 2 drivers - of course Tyler would probably like to take his chances behind the wheel. So we have a Chevy 3500 which will pull our 24 foot trailer with all of our stuff in it and I will drive the Lincoln Navigator with the 8 foot trailer behind that and we will be good to go. I am actually relieved that we sold the car because we had reserved a Penske truck with a car hauler on it and I really did not want to have to take that over the mountains in February. Hopefully after we get settled in AL I will buy another car so Donnie can have his Lincoln back - mustang here I come!! I have to say I can't wait to go. Donnie left today to go there for school so hopefully by the time he comes back next month he will have a house set up for us and be familiar with the area. Since we are back in the south I really must make my way back to Dallas to see everybody. I told Donnie that Vanna and I were going to take a girls weekend to TX and him and Tyler can do man's stuff.

By the way I want to tell Katie Happy Birthday since her bday is tomorrow - sorry there is no card, obviously I have been a bit behind the 8 ball lately but there is always hope for xmas!
