Top Tips for a Successful Move

Well, we are literally in the middle of our 9th move in 18 years or so. I feel like I should be an expert by now, but I actually learn something new each and every time the Army decides it is time for us to move to a new City or a new Country for that matter. This might, dare I say be our last move, at least that is what the husband is saying. I am not sure I quite believe that yet. Moving has opened my eyes to so much and I have enjoyed seeing the US and some of the World. I cannot even imagine living in one place for more then 3 years…Yikes!! My kids on the other hand are looking forward to keeping their friends and staying put for a while and I can’t blame them. So, Texas, hope you are ready for us to stay a while!!

On the Move Again – Home Search Tips

While Jessie has been busy slaving away on her beautiful One Room Challenge (ORC) Workspace (check out it out here), things over here have been getting very interesting. It looks like the Army has finally given us the official word that our family is on the move yet again this summer to the great state of Texas. This is, according to my husband, the last move. We will see how that goes…tune back in about 2 years from now to see if this is true!!

Anyways, with a big move comes lots and lots of logistical stuff that must be taken care of. First up on our long list, a big one, is a home search. Yes, we are going to be homeowners again. So exciting and a little bit daunting…but it will be nice to have our own space again after renting for the last 2 years and the 3 before that in a tiny German apartment.
