Well as we figured the orders didn’t come through. Big surprise there! Not really, it’s always been hit or miss when it comes to the detailer. Keith told me last night that it can take anywhere from 2-5 days to get the approval. I was not told this before, so I was under the impression that it was Wednesday and that was the only day. Keith told me to be patient but from the amount of times he checked the website that the orders are supposed to show up on, I can tell he’s really disappointed as well. We are just ready to get moving, find a new home and set up shop for a time.
At least we know we are going to be stationed in Groton, Connecticut instead of Bangor, Washington. Truthfully I wouldn’t have cared either way, but now Brayden is going to get to see snow. I can’t wait to take pictures of him in his snowsuit.
The only problem we are running into is moving all of our stuff up to the new place, which we currently don’t have. We are waiting on the orders to come in before we call the military housing department. They should be able to give us a better home with all expenses paid. That would be fantastic; I think we’d only have to pay for Internet. That’s not such a big expense, and I’m not even sure we’d be paying for it. But since we are only going to be there for a few months we aren’t ‘qualified’ for the military housing, I’m hoping Keith can sweet talk them into letting us live there anyway.
Well with the move we have to pay for the whole thing out of pocket. With the rental truck that’s over 1000 plus gas. That’s not including the plane ticket to fly Keith back to Texas. Down there he’s going to be dependent on people for a car and a place to stay. I’m sure he’s going to stay with the Kirkes, but I don’t know if they have a car. Maybe he can get Trevor or Al to drive him to the moving truck place. Then he has to pack up the stuff from the Kirkes, go to my moms and get all the baby stuff and things stored there, and then he has to go to the storage unit and load up the rest of our stuff in there. That’s a lot of work for one person to do. I hope he has some friends to help him out
I’m just overly stressing out about the situation. I’m sure it will all end up alright, but until it does I’m going to be taking extra Tums at bedtime.
Poor Keith, he really wants to get those orders. He just called and had me look them up, sadly there is nothing yet. I’m sure today he’s going to send an e-mail to the detailer just to make sure everything is still going as planned.
You know, if nothing else being in the Navy has taught me patience. There is nothing I can do, and so instead of spending all my time and energy worrying over it I just let it go. I have my mom to worry for me (ha ha ha just kidding mom)
Well today is a day that has me staying in the house. I believe I have finally hit the uncomfortable part of pregnancy. I was up all night last night with one thing or another. I do believe I hit the bathroom 5 times! That doesn’t add in the time it takes to fall back to sleep once I’ve woken up. Sometimes I think about how ready I am to have this baby out of me, and then I think that I have some time left and I should make the best of it. Plus I don’t want to have the baby in Illinois and then be stuck here for some time until we can move. Nope, no I just need to get back to the idea of practicing patience, and hope that I can keep the kid inside of me until we get to Connecticut…whenever that i
