How's your summer going? Did you do anything different this time compared to previous years?

Its secret subject swap time!! WHOO! I have missed the last few ones, I had to been very busy. I am excited to be back!!

So, my subject is:

How's your summer going? Did you do anything different this time compared to previous years?

And it was submitted by: http://indianamericanmom.com

I will admit, I have not read anything by this mom until I was given my subject, and I will say, I love her blog! She is awesome! I love her take on everything! 

Ok so my summer has been busy and hectic. We are in the middle of moving. Our 3 years is up at this duty station(Hawaii) and my husband did not request to extend. So, we are moving to Colorado for his next duty station. Right now, we are sleeping on loaner beds(with no frames) a couch with plastic still on it, and a slightly wobbly table. I prefer all this than the air mattress. 

Our stuff was packed up on the 25th-27th. We will be without our stuff for about 5 weeks. OH WHAT FUN! But I am still mobile and I have my husbands laptop(which I borrow occasionally). And honestly, every 3 years(during the summer) we move. So it's not much different than my previous summers. But this one is a little more hectic because we are leaving an island without a house to go to. Not so much fun. 




Everyone hears OH THE ARMY PACKS YOU AND SHIPS YOUR STUFF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH. On the contrary, we have to go to an office, make an appointment, and do all that. Drive from on office to another to make appointments. And on top of that, do it with no vehicle. That's right, we shipped our vehicle out. Walking is good though right? I will just keep saying it. WALKING IS GOOD. Unless you have 3 children who refuse to walk with you and try to climb everything and outrun each other. 

I side tracked a little bit lol. Ok so back on track, my summer is going fast. I did not really get to enjoy much it, but that's ok. I am preparing for a new adventure :)


OK, so now that I have bored you with my moving experience go check out these other bloggers for their subjects:

  2. Moving. Packing. Blerg.

    Not extend in Hawaii? There must be an awesome reason for that because although I've never been there I can't imagine wanting to ever leave. :D

    1. My husband got an awesome opportunity at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado. So we took it. And Hawaii is not all that its cracked up to be. Way too overcrowded. To expensive.

  3. Although the packing and moving part, especially with little kids, is not fun I'm sure, those kids have a life that's one adventure after another.

    I hope your move goes as smoothly as possible.
