This is it - moving day

Moving day is finally upon us. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I'm a little attached to this house. I have pretty much raised my baby and turned her into a full-fledged toddler in this house. We moved here when she was 9 months old and she hit so many milestones here. She started getting really good at crawling with all of the floor space in the play area and living room. She learned to walk here. Walking soon turned to running...the kid only has 2 speeds: fast and faster. I've never seen her walk anywhere...unless she's sick or holding someone's hand.

She has grown so much in this house. I wasn't attached to the last house like I was this one despite the fact that my husband and I started out living there as newlyweds, lived a great, fulfilling 2 years of our life together before children and conceived and raised an infant there until she was 9 months old. Maybe I was never attached because it always felt a little too military....I knew the house next to us and the one next to that and the one next to that and all 8 across the street looked identical to mine. Here the layout is different. Each apartment in this building is unique, spacious and has a warm color scheme of muted golden yellows and muted dark greens. It's not as 1970s as it sounds, it's very modern.

I look forward to our new adventure, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad about leaving here. And by here, I mean this house and my friends, not the base my husband has been stationed at for the last 7 years. Life has calmed down in the last year and even though I'm still anxious and uptight about everything, I've been able to enjoy more.

The movers should be coming in about 30 minutes....and then I've got so much to do that I probably won't update my blog here until I'm on the "other side" of this PCS. Peace out.
