The unthinkable has happened! Aaron's orderes were changed and we are now moving to Colorado!! Praise God! He still has the same report date, so everything is going to happen really quick from here on out. That gives us 40 days to get there, but obviously we want to just get there as soon as possible and not at the last minute.
The plan is to move into my mom's house. She is being really weird and wishy-washy about it though, so it may not work out. It will be a tight squeeze and I can almost gaurentee that it won't be a permenent thing unless things really change around there, and all I mean by that is that she really needs to get rid of junk and the boys need to pick up after themselves, and also Colleen will probably have to move out. My mom always said how great it would be if we moved in, because we could pay her rent and then she wouldn't loose her house,and then she would be able to finish fixing it up and then probably just eventually sell it, but now she is being totally weird about the whole thing.
At first she said we could take the master bedroom/bathroom and one of the other bedrooms, but then got all weird, so I said forget it, we will just take 2 rooms instead. We added up the mortgage, plus house bills (i.e power bill, cable/internet) and divided by 7 people total, then multipled by 4 for us, and it comes out to $1140, so that's what we offered to pay total per month. Hopefully she will see what a great deal she is getting. Yes its a good deal for us too, but we could easily find cheaper places to live, not in the ideallic Briargate community, but somewhere that is acceptable and near all the things I request (i.e. grocery stores, running trails, gym, job. She also always said she would be our nanny so I could go back to work and then just pay her, thus giving her more income, but even that she didn't sound thrilled about when I talked to her yesterday.. Its like, OK woman, wake up, what do you want!?! I am telling you we can really help you out and what, its not good enough now? And now her phone is turned off, probably because she doesn't want to talk to me, and I can't get a hold of her. I know I called her a lot yesterday but that's because we need to get this all figutred out now, something she is clearly trying to avoid.
::sigh: a lot of my sterss is gone, but a lot is still clearly there.
On top of it, we are trying to sellour cars and hopefully buy at least one new one before we leave, but Aaron is busy getting all this stuff on-post taken care of, that I am not sure it is going to happen or not. And then this weekend, for the 4-day, we are gong up to party in Virginia Beach with Aaron's parents and sister and her husband. They got us a room on the beach at the Marriot. How different his family is from mine, and yet some how we all get along.
