After a 36 hour trip from California we arrived safe and sound at our new house here in Missouri. It was 18 degrees when we arrived at 6 AM; much colder than we were acustom to back in CA!
Our first day in MO was spent getting enrollment paperwork for the children at their new schools, shopping for groceries, picking up cleaning supplies and getting new paint for the wall colors we did not like.
Our house hold goods are scheduled to arrive on Friday. It will be a busy day getting everything unpacked but it will sure be nice to sleep in my own bed again. Air mattresses are better than the floor, but they can sure draw the heat out of you!

I’m standing here in line at the airport trying to redeem a voucher I received during my last trip to MO. Our closing date is a week away and we’re all getting pretty excited.
Tomorrow the moving company shows up to begin packing our stuff. I’m thankful to not have to do this move on my own! It’s amazing how much “stuff” one collects over the years. We’ve donated a fair amount of stuff to Good Will and filled a few dumpsters with rubbish.
We’ll be sleeping on air mattresses for the remainder of our time in CA and for a time upon arrival. I’m not particularly excited about it but I know the two little ones will think it a great adventure.

It has been some time since I last posted to my blog, there just is never enough time in the day. Here is a quick update.
Dee is due to retire from the Navy next month after 20 years as a SeaBee. Her retirement ceremony is the end of this month on the Port Hueneme naval base here in California. As soon as her retirement ceremony is complete we load into the truck and make the drive back to Missouri.
We’re closing on a house we bought there in NW Missouri a few days before her retirement ceremony. Talk about cutting things close! It’s a nice house; I looked for nearly 2 years before finding this one. It’s a ranch style home with a great kitchen and a full basement. It’s located out in the country off of a state highway and sits on about 10 acres of property.
The girls are excited at the prospect, especially Sidney. She has a very strong bond with her grandmother and can’t wait to be near her. Jasmine is looking forward to being able to spend time with horses. Dee is looking into starting her own business once she is there. She is excited and looking forward to what the future may bring.
