We have been in G'ville for almost a week now. Been a very interesting week. We arrived late on Sunday evening to find the Quarters, let's just say not as clean as we left the Quarters in Waycross. So, we have spent most of the week getting things cleaned which were not taken care of. This is a nice Quarters but definately needs some work. Spent some time in the office this week getting to know our staff and getting familiar with The Army here. We haven't met all of our staff yet, but eventually we will. The Army here seems to have some small projects to work on and things which need to be addressed. But, in all things have begun to settle in well. B&K have done well considering...with no new friends or much to do around the house, they have done well. On Monday one of our Soldiers came by with her grandson and let B&K come over to her house for a couple of hours. Now, we thought this would be some great time to get extra work done at the house but, it didn't go that way. In Waycross, we never had to use house keys because we always went in through the garage. Well, here it should work that way but, on Monday just after we went out for some lunch, a storm came through and the power went out. Now, I had one key in my pocket on my car keys but wouldn't you know it, it didn't work. So, needless to say, we didn't get in...in fact, didn't get in until about 6:00pm. Between this and the cleaning we had to get done, we have barely started to unpack and won't be at home much at all this month. So, we may never get done. Looking forward to the welcome and seeing some friends and meeting some new people. Until next time, later!

Well, I sit here in a hotel room, with B reading a book about Jonah to my right and K singing and dancing at the foot of the bed. We are only one more night away from our farewell Sunday. We are excited and nervous about tomorrow. We know a few people who say they are coming even though they haven't been there in a while or even never for a couple of them. We really think it will be a good day but, perhaps a little tougher than we realize. We are glad to get all this over because, the past few days have been pretty taxing emotionally. I am a little frustrated with some of our staff because they all seem to think we are already gone and have started doing some things they know aren't allowed. I realize we'll have frustrations in G'ville, but I hope we have adults working for us and not teenagers. Don't get me wrong, we have loved our staff here, but they have definately been a little immature at times. Well, we lived through 4 years here in Waycross with so much as an accident or anything like that and today, our last full day in Waycross, someone backs out into the passenger side door of the Bonneville. Of course when I asked her if she was ok, she said her back hurt. What! She was going 3 MPH!!! Anyway, then she didn't have proof of insurance...So, I don't know if the Officer was able to verify it through a tag check or not. Then, I locked the keys in the car! Thank goodness for AAA. So, today was definately an interesting day. Well, this time tomorrow we'll probably be unpacking like crazy to get some basic things in place for us and the kiddos. So, for now, later...

What Is Your Star Wars Name and Title?

Well, we're only about a week away from moving and I think I'm finally ready for it. I don't necessarily look forward to leaving Waycross but, I am ready to go just to be done packing and cleaning. We are looking forward to different headaches, etc. But, we will miss some friends we have made, especially for friends B&K have made. We had a very nice Board meeting today and we will miss our board here. They are good people with good hearts. They are very compassionate and caring. We are excited about living in a city where there are "options." Places to choose from to eat, shop, etc. We are also looking forward to living near some family and of course The Dawgs! We are excited about some vacation in July. We have VBS the end of July and before long it's back to school for B&K. We feel we have been truly blessed by the Lord and Gainesville is evidence of that. This is a good Corps with good people and we look forward to being there for a long time. Well, that's all for now. Maybe after the move, I can more interesting stuff to write. By the way, how come none of my friends or family took the hillbilly name test? Are you embarrased? Later...
