I'm Still Alive
Sorry if it's been awhile. My parents paid for a family trip to the Bahamas for Christmas([Buffett]Christmas in the Caribbean...we've got everything but snow[/Buffett]), then we came back and spent the next week moving from our old house on post to our new house on post (benefit to living in post housing - when your family gets bigger, you qualify for a bigger house - within limits). After THAT, it took Time Warner (cursed be their name) two more weeks of constant phone calls to get our cable hooked up.
And we're still unpacking - it's amazing how much stuff can fit in a house, and how everything that had a nice cozy place to fit in an old house doesn't necessarily have one in the new house. Even with the biannual household inventory reduction that goes with moving (actually, this is the fourth duty station and fifth home in the 5.5 years we've been married), it's still a buttload of crap.
In other news, the deployment that used to seem way off in the indeterminate future is now in view. We've been given our packing lists for gear, and the unit connexes (whose loads include non-essential personal stuff) get loaded sometime next month. We'll follow them a couple of months later. I'm still trying to figure out which DVDs and books to load into the connex, since I have no clue how much free time I won't have.
That's it for now. I've got a a few things running around in my mind, but haven't had the time to sit down and type them out.
