We moved to Texas during the Fourth of July weekend. We didn’t even get to see fireworks or blow anything up! That is a first for me for sure. The kids didn’t seem to notice though.

This move we decided to live on base in housing and depending on the place, housing can have a long wait list. But for us we had an easy time getting into housing – here they are duplexes and did you see ours? We have a fenced in yard, four bedrooms and a garage with storage. There is quite a bit of storage here and during the short time we plan on being here I am going to take our stuff from cardboard boxes or broken plastic boxes and put them in better storage.

I have a lot of Christmas decorations that may need to be pared down! I don’t have anything that I don’t love, or at least I don’t have an entire box worth so I doubt I can pare anything else down. I know I need to get rid of stuff because we’ll be moving around a lot during the next couple of years. I’d like to stay put in one spot for five years again like we did a few years ago, but I don’t think that will be happening any time soon.
