Homeless Again...


Well, our housing situation has changed...again! Less than a month ago Chad went to the housing office and was told that it would be at least 10 months before a house was available on post. Well, in true Army fashion, Friday Chad received a call from them saying that a house should be available this week!! Crazy!
Since we had already signed a lease and put a security deposit down on the other house, we decided it wouldn't hurt to talk to the owner about the situation just to see what she would say. Even though she had no reason to let us out of the lease, she said she understood and agreed to let us out of the lease and refund our money. She wanted to know immediately though so she could put it back on the market. We agreed even though we have not officially been offered a house on post. The housing office assures us that the houses will be ready in the next week and that we are sixth in line for 6 brand new houses. Here is an example of the house we should be getting, if all goes well...

It is a duplex (which is typical for Army housing), 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1950 sq ft.

We are excited to try living on post. These houses are right across the street from CYS and down the road from the Commissary and PX. They also remove all the snow during the winter, which is awesome for me!
As life in the Army goes, we can't believe it until the keys are actually in our hand, but hopefully this decision doesn't leave us homeless for long. We'll keep you posted!

    So glad to hear an update! Beautiful, brand new house! That would be so exciting! Are you already up in NY, or waiting on the house? Either way, hope that you and the family are well! Miss you and Chad at church and lifegroup!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

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'...
