Housing Updated


I have the most diligent husband ever! He has been combing the internet for MONTHS looking for houses and yesterday his searching paid off! On Thursday he turned in a security deposit on a 1200 sq. ft. apartment, with the idea that we would live there until he deployed, move out and then move on post when a house opened up. That apartment was the only place that he saw that was even an reasonable option for our family. One thing that I thought was totally crazy about places we considered was no built in microwaves! I know it is a small thing, but for units built in the last year, I can't understand why no microwave was provided!
Before signing the lease Friday morning, Chad went to look at one more house that had just been posted to AHRN. It is 3 bedroom/2 bath with a full basement, attached 2 car garage, fenced in backyard and a huge attic! The rent was more than we wanted to spend, but the owner agreed to lower the price! The only down side is that it is not available until June 1st. We agreed though that moving once (as opposed to moving on post later and having to store half of our stuff while in the apartment) was worth waiting a month to get the house. The Army will pay for Chad to stay in temporary housing until he leaves for Colorado then the girls and I will leave in time to meet him when he gets back.
Chad feels like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders! We are so thankful that the Lord provided this house. Chad is actually going to fly back to Atlanta tonight and stay the week with us before starting work next Monday. Yay!!

Strength

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...

Change of Command

Here are a few pictures from Chad's Change of Command Ceremony. I hope to get more pictures from the official photographer that day. I didn't get any pictures of myself and my White House Black Market dress! :) The Food... Chad and I aren't huge fans of cake, so we got a cookie cake instead from a local bakery. I wish I had taken a picture of the entire table, but I only at time for a few pictures. Everyone was pretty impressed with the spread. My mom taught me how to prepare lots and lots of food and how to make it tasty! Addison kept snagging food before the ceremony started! C-Troop Taking Command! So proud of Chad! We look forward to serving with the Outcast family!

Lake Placid

Over Columbus Day, we decided to take advantage of the time for one more family trip before the deployment. Lake Placid has been on our list of places we wanted to go and we chose to wait until the fall to enjoy seeing all the leaves changing in the Adirondacks. The leaves were a little past peak, but it was still beautiful.  To understand how much we enjoyed this trip, you have to understand how much we enjoy the Olympics.  Let's just say we are Olympic fanatics...the Atwells would understand. :)  On our way in to town, we stopped had lunch at a recommended BBQ place. That afternoon, we only had time to go to one venue before they closed for the day.  If you don't know the history, Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980 and is still a site for Olympic training.  First stop - Bobsled, Combination Track   You can pay to ride down the 1932 bobsled course.  It looked fun! After the Bobsled track, we headed back to the hotel and ...
