Good morning friends!
How are you all doing today? I am doing FANTASTIC. Tomorrow is the big day! MOVING DAY! I'm so excited! I still have a lot to do to get ready, but i'm sooooo excited! Making cinnamon rolls out of cresent rolls for breakfast this morning, gonna have a going away dinner with my family tonight (and my bestest friend, but we all include her in the "family" portion! lol). its gonna be a good day!
Tomorrow starts my journey! The movers will be here between 8a and 9a, they'll get me all packed up (which I don't forsee taking too terribly long--even they said they'd be done before 3 most definitely). Its gonna be fantastic! As soon as the movers leave, I'll be backing out of my driveway and saying "SEE YA!" to Huntsville! From here I'll be going to Tuscaloosa to see my brother. He's letting me stay the night there with him so I wouldn't have to drive the entire 6 hours at once! :) what a kind bro! :) i love going to see him in ttown and even now its gonna be a fantastically awesome time! I'm so excited! (i'm sure you guys are all picturing me sitting in my office chair bouncing up and down frantically---which is partially true. I'm trying to contain my excitement--but I'm going to see my husband in 2 days! you can't blame me for being excited!!!) hehe
Anyways--so I'll be staying with my brother in Tuscaloosa Tuesday night (heh, Tuscaloosa Tuesday! sounds like a band or song title. cool). Then I'll be getting up with him bright and early (he has to be at class at 8a), and I'll be heading to Biloxi! Should only take me about 4 hours, so I should be down there by noon (depends on where I get breakfast...probably just grabbing starbucks and hitting the road though--oh starbucks, how i love thee!) Once I get down there, I'll probably just toodle around waiting until I can check in at the hotel on base (which I am renting through Saturday--hopefully going to be able to extend through sunday so Daniel and I can spend some time together cuz he can't come back to the house with me). Once I can check in, i'll be going in to shower, put on makeup, and get ready for our appointment at 4! I'll be picking up Daniel at like...330 probably and then we'll head over to the housing office and do the walk through and sign our lease and get our keys! :D gonna be a good day! Then after that, we'll *hopefully* be able to go chill at the hotel for a bit... then grab a bite to eat for dinner...then i'll drop him off so he can get ready before he has to do details at 8p. I'm so excited, its not even funny. I'll get to spend the weekend with him, which makes me so much happier too. Just knowing that in 2 days I'll be with him FOR GOOD (well until (if) he gets deployed). We'll be able to be US again. its so exciting. He wont be able to live with me until mid-late april, but still. I'll be right there, so i can go see him on the weekends/weeknights (if he is able) and we can spend time together. :) Once he hits ATP (2nd phase), he can come to the house whenever he wants. :) that makes me happy.
But yeah. Wanted to post before leaving because I'm taking down my computer today and wont have it back up for a couple weeks. I'll have my phone and my netbook, but posting a blog on either of those is a pain in the butt. lol. I am so ready to be with my husband, its not even funny. I miss him tons. Its been 4 weeks since we were together last. Sure we get to skype/talk on the phone, but its sooo not the same. Especially with signal and internet being crap. Anywho...
I guess this is it! The next time you guys hear from me, I'll be sitting in my house in Biloxi, enjoying the fact that I am only 5 minutes from my husband versus 6 hours. :) gonna be nice!
Hope you guys have a fantastic day!

Checklists and Coffee
The two most important things when moving or packing. period. Checklists keep you organized, coffee keeps you SANE.
Today the movers came to do what they call a "pre-move survey." it was the one guy who is basically head over my shipment. It went SO FAST. He looked at everything, logged major things and just estimates of how many cartons they needed... I was floored. He said we've made it really easy on them (which was our goal) and that the move shall be quick and painless! lol. That was GREAT news. He said all-in-all they should be here between 8-9a on the 19th (next Tuesday) and should be done by 230-3 and he was over estimating. He also set up our drop-off date for Friday the 22 (originally I was informed that we would not have our stuff dropped off to us until the 26th). So that was also good news. All-in-all I AM READY.
I have a few things i need to organize and finish up before next Tuesday, but I'm pretty much done. It feels so good to know that next week i'll be in Keesler with my husband. sorta. lol. He wont be able to come live with me until probably mid-late April--which is fine...at least I'll get to see him every weekend until he does! :)
I'm so ready. I just cannot say that enough. I miss my husband, I miss being us. we're both sooo ready for this its not even funny. I'm ready to have a house of our own. I'm ready to be ON OUR OWN. I am scared, i'm not gonna lie--i've never been away from my family...I'm not really...scared? idk i can't really think of a better word. I'm nervous i guess? Its going to be fantastic though! I know it wont be easy, but its going to be so much better than where we are right now. I just can't wait!
Short post today, just wanted to update you all! i'll try to post again before i move down there!
thanks for being awesome guys!

Finally!
Yay! I have an update for you guys! I have waited all week, and FINALLY we have some stuff figured out! Actually...we have all of it figured out, I just have to go about my business and sort through all my boxes and unpack (*sigh*) for TMO.
The movers (TMO) will be at my house here in huntsville on March 19. HOORAY! They will be packing my stuff and getting it all together! Which means--we will also be moving into OUR HOUSE (yes, i said our house! we have a house!!!) on march 20 at 4p! sooo excited! The current plan is for me to drive to Tuscaloosa on the 19 after TMO leaves, stay with my brother that night, then finish the drive to Biloxi on the 20!!! I'll get to see Daniel again in 2 weeks! only 2 weeks! So ready.
You guys have no idea how excited and ready I am! We had talked about me going down there today (its his birthday...boooo), but its Reserve weekend, so all the rooms on base are full. :( so now i'm just waiting 2 more weeks...then i'll get to pick him up from class and we will go do our walk-through and sign our lease together! it will be so exciting! it is exciting!
So, I have 2 weeks to get everything unpacked and organized and figure out what I'm going to take in my car. lol. We told TMO that i'll have 500lbs in my car, so...... i'll try to get that as close as possible..does my weight count? if so--we're almost halfway there already! LOL jk... but... seriously. I'm so ready to just be down there. I was a little sad when he called to tell me that the movers couldn't come until the 19...but.... that gives me 10 days with my mommy (she comes home on the 9th) and i can have 2 more weeks of my personal trainer here (if i don't get sick again--i've been sick for 3 days now and had to miss one session with her. made me sad....)...AND gives me two weeks to finish off the few groceries i had purchased myself before i get down there. (i don't want to have to worry about moving cold food...especially having to take it up to david's condo and put it all in his fridge for one night).
Thats the plan currently. :) i'll also be staying on base the night of the 20 so i can spend a little more time with Daniel and not have to worry about pulling out the air mattress. lol. at least not that night. i have no idea how long it will take for TMO to get all my stuff to me down there, but i'm hoping they'll be able to unload on the 21st. (since we're not technically moving in until 4 on the 20th)
ahhh its all so exciting! scary...but exciting. lol. I have felt like a real adult trying to take care of all this stuff...so has daniel--he's had to talk to finance and we're budgeting and saving and doing everything we can to cut costs and just making sure everythings gonna go smoothly. its weird. I don't think we've ever had to put this much thought into anything since we got married. hahaha. but it comes with being an adult!
anyways! thats really all i have for you guys today! i just wanted to let all you people out there know that I AM FINALLY MOVING! we have a house. we have tmo set up. we have talked to finance. SO READY! this also means we'll still get BAH through the 20 of this month, so we'll still get some on the paycheck that comes on the 1st. thats exciting! lol. then we lose it. but...i'd rather lose BAH and be with my husband any day! :D true story!
anyways. hope you all have a fantastic Saturday! :)
