We left Clarksville around 4 and headed east. We drove til about 1am (12am KY time) and stopped to rest in a hotels. Ruth and jennika did awesome on the trip, however Ruth decided it was a good day to start projectile vomiting again. so the 4th time she soaked her whole car seat and self :( I had to pull over immediately and nearly caused an accident, but she started choking and thank god she was in the front seat or I could have not gotten to her quick enough. We started driving again at 830am and made it to Fort Bragg/Fayetteville around 1. I was calling on houses as soon as we hit 100mi left, I randomly looked on their off post housing website and found a house that would fit our needs, so I called the owner and set up an apt to see it. This house was just listed on their website on Saturday. We got into the area and this neighborhood seemed very quiet and the house looks great from the outside. So the owner got her and showed us the house, we walked in and you have a great room (living and den) then to your right you have your dining room which is open to the living room, walk into the dining and you have your kitchen take a lady and your back to your den, the master bedroom is off the den, and there is also a sun room/bonus room off the den, you go down your hall off the living room and you have a room to your left a bathroom in front of you and a room to your right. We then went into the back yard thru the sun room and wow was I in aw. It is sectioned off by fences into 3 sections. Your main section has your walkway, a little pond, 2 fire pits, and a hot tub (:D) a section to the right is a huge play area, it has a house, sandbox, swing set, a slide, and just a bunch of fun stuff kids enjoy. I wanted this house. So I told then I'd like to rent it what do you need from me. They gave me their real estate guys number and I called instantly. We were talking for a bit outside waiting for him to call back and I found out the owners and our landlord are civil affairs. How awesome is that. What are the odds right? So we went to eat and check out the area. We are like 5. Mins from the mall and shopping areas. (awesome right?!?) got a call an hr later and started signing our contract at 5. Started moving our things in around 6 and got half the truck unloaded by 11. I just wanted to get to our beds! Ruth does not sleep well when she isn't in her crib she loves it. So here I am it's 8:30 on Tuesday and I have realized I am not going to be able to have my neighbor over for coffee, and chit chat for awhile, and I am not going to be able to have the Davis' over for dinner and let Jack and Jennika test out the new play ground area. :,( nor and I going to see Jonah and Ruth lay on the floor smiling while Jonah swings at Ruth and Ruth sucks on Jonah's arm. Haha. So needless to say I am super sad today. And probably will be for awhile. I do however get to look forward to going out there for a week and seeing everyone again and enjoying Jennika's party!
Army life sure is great when you think about the stability of a pay check when others are fighting trying to find a job to keep a roof over their heads or food in they children's mouth. It's also great that you get to see places you prob wouldn't see. I never thought 5yrs ago I would be living so far away from where I grew up. It's also great when you meet new people and get to explore different views of life. But the down falls are being away from your husband, John isn't deployed now but I won't see him til Jennikas birthday. But I am grateful he is in the states and I can talk to him anytime I want. But another huge downfall is meeting these awesome people that you never expected when you first met them that they would be life long friends and friends that you would always go to visit and talk to on a regular basis. And leaving them hurts just as bad as leaving your family behind when you move to another post. It was hard for me to move from Washington cause I had my nieces and nephews and my great friends I made there (one of which I had known for years and we ended up in the same place) moving sucks cause you have to start your life over and you have no clue where to even begin. I am sure I will get used to moving but it will never hurt any less to leave friends behind. :(
Well I'm off. Enough crying for one day. Time to get an early start and unpack what we have got outta the truck. Here are some pictures of our travels.
