Movin' on Out!

Well, moving day is tomorrow. We've spent the day today packing up boxes and suitcases, and Ethan has made a couple of trips to the new house.

I have to admit, I'm not as excited about moving day as I thought I would be. I always thought I'd be glad to get out of this small, dishwasher-less apartment, and get settled into our nice, big house. Now, I'm not so sure. The main reason is that our stuff hasn't arrived yet. In fact, it's estimated day for arrival is March 10th!!! Apparently, this kind of thing happens all the time, so the base is prepared to loan us furniture, linens, etc. that they will deliver tomorrow.

Another reason why I'm not too thrilled to move in is because we won't have a phone line, or cable, or internet for who knows how long. We called about the phone.... oh yes.... we've called multiple times about the phone. At first, they said the phone would be set up last week, but when I called again, they said it won't start up until the 26th. That's not horrible, because we did get a cell phone (a "mobile," as it's called here). However, we can't set up cable or internet until the phone line is established. And we've heard it can take weeks to get those set up!!! WEEKS!! How will we live without the internet???? Fortunately, we can go to the library on base whenever we want to go on-line.

In other news, Timothy will be starting school tomorrow morning, which is great. I'm a little nervous for him, as everything will be so new and different, but I know he'll do fine. Maddie will hopefully start pre-school on Wednesday. There is a part-time pre-school on base that meets MWF mornings. I think that will be perfect for her (and it will be nice for me to have a little time to go to the gym, etc.).

Please be patient with us the next few weeks. The blogs and emails will most likely be sparse. Hopefully, we'll get everything set up soon.
