IDAHO

So it's been a while since I posted, things have gone from crazy to crazier. We arrived here in Idaho, and the weather turned cold, I was 3 weeks behind in Bio, I ran into the first snowstorm of the season driving back from KD's and my husbands grandpa died. So my life has not slowed down any, and to top it all of I don't even have my hubby here to cry on his shoulder.
I am doing Okay though I just have to make it through this semester, I need to get a routine, the problem is I am playing catch up on my bio class and trying to get the rest of my work done to. Plus Iz is potty training, Gabe is Teething, and all three of us have colds. So enough of my complaining.
It's great to be back in Idaho, I missed It and everytime I move I will miss it again, It will always be home. It's great to be near my mom and dad again (give me 6 months and I may not feel the same way). They are going to be a big help with the kids and I am so thankful for such great parents. I am looking forward to Snowboarding and spending time with my siblings. Chad will be back in November, and is bringing home a fiancee for Christmas to meet the fam. I hope she likes it loud, this will be the fist time all of us siblings have been together in 2 years, we are all very excited.
The apples are in season and the air is crisp, fall is an awsome time in Idaho, the fields being harvested, the pumpkins being carved, and the awsome smells of the holidays.

The day before the move

So here we are T minus 12 hrs and counting, and I am stressed to the gills. I keep think I am forgetting something, even though I have checked and re-checked everything. I am a lister and I have lists for everything, lists for stuff to move, lists for stuff to take, lists for stuff to send, lists of money, lists of kids stuff, lists of hubby stuff, and no matter how many lists you make, the stress and worry still stays. I keep telling myself it will all be over in a couple of days, you will be back in Idaho, but time seems to be dragging. Which is actually funny considering I was telling my sister that I need more hours in the day to get things done. But truthfully I am so ready for it all to be over and to just get on with life, why does it seem like life come to a standstill when your moving all the time, it's like I just can't get things started, or finished for that matter. I have so many big plans and big ideas I want to finish just one in my lifetime. O well enough moping. Georgia is hot and buggy and I am very happy to be going home. TJ and I are hoping that he will get stationed in Colorado next but it is more wishful thinking. We miss you all and can't wait to see you

Moving again

So in case you were all wondering who and what i am. I am a couple of things, 1st and foremost I am a mom, I am also an army wife, a student, and a friend.
I have moved 8 time in the last 7 years and am doing so again. I have learned a few tricks about packing, get rid of everything not necessary, DON'T LET YOUR HUSBAND PACK, he has a warped vision of what is necessary and what is not, start packing at least 2 weeks before the move so your not doing it all at the last minute, baby blankets are perfect for wrapping plates and glasses in, paying for boxes and packing material is overrated, if you go to wal-mart between 11pm and 3am they let you have the boxes they are done with, keep the boxes torn down until you need them or your kids will tear them apart playing in them, or get one box they can use. Hauling your books from place to place, will anger your husband, but sometimes when he is working long days or gone for training they are your only source of comfort, so tell him to suck it up. These are my words of wisdom on moving.
Currently I am moving back with mom and dad while my hubby takes a jaunt into the desert with his platoon. Not a bad choice at least I won't be stuck in Georgia by myself and two kids, I miss the snow and four seasons. I am trying to pack my household move my family, go to school, pay my bills, love my husband and not go insane. Today I am superwoman. I keep telling my self that it will all calm down soon and you won't be so stressed, I hope I have hair left by then.
Well life goes on and you cope look forward to the future and hope for the best.
4 days till I go home.
