Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, every one. We can't escape that damage.
But now, I am also leaning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.

The epic conclusion of our moving tale.......


Upon arriving you would think that we would have earned a nap. But alas there was work to be done and arraignments to be made. We found out the day before we arrived that due to a clerical error we were not scheduled to get our house until Tuesday-so we would need somewhere to stay for 5 days. We were discovering all of this with Tim’s sponsor. A man who has served at this base for 15 years who is responsible for helping Tim get adjusted here. He was a really nice guy who after helping us get to where we needed to be took Tim on a little tour and then gave him the rest of the day off to get some rest.

Thursday-Saturday morning we stayed in temporary housing on base. It was wonderful. Those places are like apartments with everything you need i.e.: washer/dryers, dishwasher, fridge, stove, multiple televisions and best of all the dogs were allowed to stay with us. But alas all good things must end and that weekend happened to be a NASCAR race weekend here, which meant that lots of people were coming to town and somebody with a higher rank had already reserved that room.

Saturday-Tuesday morning we stayed at the base hotel. It was kind of annoying because being a hotel it was just one room. But it was a nice room. Sadly the dogs were not allowed to be with us there. Tim’s sponsor and family agreed to watch them for those days. Tim was given Tuesday off to help me unpack.

That’s pretty much all of our moving excitement. We loved it and hated it. It was lots of fun seeing new places, but exhausting as well. We are glad to be settled for the moment.
