Total Update

I am really sorry.
There have been a whole bunch of issues getting on the internet and actually using it so I haven't been able to post.  Just checking my email was hard enough.
Mom's computer had some glitch and so it didn't connect to the internet.  We didn't have internet in Texas for about a five weeks or so.  On top of all that, I sort kinda probably a little bit oopys daisy...broke my iPad!!!  I dropped it in Lowe's and now the screen is black.  I am the one who's going to pay to get it fixed and I'm going to have to wipe out ALL my savings and then some to pay.  Some body's going to be penny pinching for another two years again.
Anyway, for those of you who don't have a Facebook account let me catch you up with what's been going on.  After all, I have moved already.

  1. The movers came.  They were actually a really good batch of movers, although they sorta kinda FORGOT a whole cabinet of dishes and all our silverware.
  2. We drove cross country.  Fun.  Actually, it was more fun than I expected.  I got to go in a ride in a little airplane, eat dinner with old friends, hang out 360 ft in the air while in St. Louis (the arch is SO cool and a really fun trip) plus play Minion Rush um...a lot.  It was NOT very fun for Mom because
    1. She hates driving
    2. She doesn't like benign solely in charge
    3. They (United Communities, the people in charge of housing) called us and said that we had been assigned house #30.  #30 turned out to a one-story HANDICAPPED house.  Of course she (Mom) totally panicked because we had planned for the two-story REGULAR house.  It turned out that they (UC) didn't even know that it was a handicapped house and gave them another house, which made Mom annoyed because there are only three handicapped houses of that kind on base and how hard can it be to keep track of them all?
    4. She didn't get a lot of sleep one night because there was a foul-languaged argument RIGHT outside our door (I was asleep which I am glad for now because apparently it was REALLY foul-languaged) and then at like 2 a.m. there was a sort of party, and so she called the motel owners and they sorted it out and CALLED HER BACK to tell her that it was sorted out.  Seriously.  I mean, c'mon!
  3. We got a house!  This is exciting.  We've never gotten a house this fast before.  Plus, it's the house we actually expected (yay) and it's in a really good location.  It has a fenced backyard (our only request) and it's in a REALLY good location.  You see it's a twenty minutes walk, ten minute bike ride to my bff Elena's house (I went to a sleep over with her last night) and to two minute walk to my long-lost girl scout friends (yes, I was a girl scout!  That goes to show how long-lost these friends are) who are awesome.  Plus five minute easy walk to the church (Saturday night mass here I come...!)
That it.  Anyway, enjoy what's left of your school year and your weekend!  Hope you are having the  same luck I am because is turning out to be the best move ever!!!
