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!

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 ...
