Are we there yet?

I swear, John thinks I ask this every day. Where are we with the move? Well. We have a move coordinator assigned, but this move is 2 weeks out and we don't have any specifics yet. As you can imagine our stress level is through the roof!

*quick amaretto sour concocting break*

We are doing pretty good, in spurts, at getting things kinda cleaned out. John had to take his truck to the shop today (read: Fairbanks) so he dropped off multiple years of sharps containers, two old hibachi style grills, and some clothes to donate. Truly, the grills and needles was a huge relief. Not that I've been wanting those gone for years or anything. We've had a few friends over. I've sold some baby stuff to include one carseat, one high chair, two bumbo-style chairs, and a few random other items. Of course, I've got more to put out there. I think I will always have more to put out there...there being the garage, our current holding area for items we would prefer be gone.

But, I'm sure you could care less about us selling old items no longer in use. Ok. To the specifics. Our move date is still June 30. If it changes, it would be the end of the next pay period, which would be July 14. I will do everything in my power to make that NOT happen, simply b/c I believe our vacation time would be taken away if that is the case. However, we have a quirk in the whole move process in that we are actually PCSing (permanent change of station) to Huntsville, AL...where we will move permanently. From there we TCS (temp change of station) to NY for 18 months. Due the the PCS we technically have to spend one pay period 'in Alabama'. We are hoping to use various forms of leave to avoid physically landing in AL when there is truly no need. We will see if it works. It seems the first true, in person, hash this junk out phone call between our coordinator and John is Monday.

This coming Monday.

June 17!

No pressure.

For part of that two week leave we *hope* to get one last quick trip to Anchorage and then a longer trip to Portland/Vancouver in. Again, that is just what we hope. We shall see how this all works out. And it will work out. It must work out. In fact, I discovered tonight we MUST be in NY by July 17. Why you ask? Because I just 'joined' the Multiple MoMs Mingle (the NY multiples group) meet up at My Gym in Syracuse. Assuming I don't get lost on the way, we are GOING! Part of the whole reason for the move. To have more opportunity, to meet more MoMs (moms of multiples), and to get my kids out more. Now, to just get there.....



Loves!
No worries, I will keep you updated as we are updated.
