Due to a lack of a place to live (his current roommate no longer wants a roommate, and Chris can't find anywhere else to live), Chris is moving home next month, job or no job. I sure hope he finds something fast, because we don't have room for him long-term in our current home!
The good part of this is that Chris can help Sean get ready for the Navy.

Sandra- I'm so happy that Nichelle is enjoying herself. Maybe when I get to SD in June, me and her could meet up.
Colleen- That's awful that he comes home just to spend it in the hospital. I agree this feels like home even though there are so few of us left.
Oh and guess what we found out today.... It's a girl!

Yep a mess and our DLA and travel still haven't gone through. For now I guess I am staying in Ga with family til June or July since I can now say something. We are 13 wks pregnant and due 4 days after my bday! They are smoking outside and the kitty will have room to run at night when the doggie door is shut. Hears to hoping the hubby can keep me sane from a distance!!!!!!

I just love having to change the plans. Apparently the detailer/Navy thought it would save them money if Shawn went to school in Norfolk instead of San Diego. We got modified orders on Thursday and pack outs were last week. The orders say he detaches here in April, school the end of May, ship in June, then he will be home. He doesn't have enough leave to make it to the end of May and we have to be out of the house by Friday. There is no way I can go home bc everyone smokes and I can't be around it... This is such a mess. The command is trying to work with us and allowing him to take leave to get me all set up in SD since I need to be there for the apartment we found and healthcare but then we have to pay to fly him back here just to check out and then sit in Norfolk. We are hoping that once there they will up his class and get him through everything fast. Wonder how high my blood pressure is from this alone.....

Well less then 6 wks and we will be in Cali. We are still looking for somewhere to live since housing won't be available until August/September and I will not get settled in one place to have to move by myself. We are hoping that the mutt is allowed in one apartment but other then that it looks like we are going to be spending a bunch more then we want. If it isn't the dog's breed or weight then it's the fact that I refuse to declaw my kitty..... Anyways hope everyone is doing great!
