I swear the month of November and December have been a blur for us. Not a lot has happened, but what has happened has been a big. We learned over the past couple months that we would have to be moving some time shortly due to a financial situation with our landlords. We were hoping to move at the end of our lease in March, but after learning certain facts it needed to happen sooner than later.
Without having the money to put down for a new house deposit as well as a pet deposit, we decided to look into On-Post Housing. Usually there is a 2-3+ month wait list (at least) and we figured the sooner we got on the list the better. Just in case! Well, to our surprise there was a 0-30 day wait and we got an offer on a house as soon as we got our paperwork it. God is definitely good and is watching over us!
We accepted the offer and started silently planning a move. The stress of getting everything planned and done as quickly as possible was ridiculous!!! Thankfully we have some amazing neighbors who helped us out with extra hands to make loads as well as a truck and trailer to borrow. With a great push the first night and then a Huge push with the help of soldiers in Aaron's unit we got most of the house moved in 3 days. I couldn't believe the amount of helped offered to us. I was pretty much useless in helping trying to load up boxes and keep Jackson distracted and happy at the same time. Ah, the joys of having a toddler=)
Anyway, it is the now the week before Christmas and I am slowly unpacking the last of the boxes (about 10 left). It's starting to look like home, but after 4 years in another house in the same "town" it's not quite feeling like it just yet. Soon though...I hope!!
