I move in 2 weeks...getting a house?

Nov 05, 2005 12:30

So, Phillip and a couple of the guys are not going to Ranger until Jan. 9 of next year. So, I am moving to Benning in a couple of weeks. Once exams are done I will spend time at my grandma's house in Three Rivers and then after Thanksgiving I will drive down to GA and stay on base for a month. the bad part about him going late is that I have all the bills until then, he did say he could help me out though. On the bright side, I get him all winter and he has more time to train and I will go to the gym with him so that we both get in shape. I want to drop about 10 lbs. haha...yea I'll never do it, but I at least want to drop the fat and get more muscle like I used to be. The best part about this is that as much as we love that apt we picked out and as great as it is, we will have time to look at houses instead. So, I'm waiting for a reply from a realtor in NC and we will look at houses near Bragg in Dec. :) I am really happy about that. It doesn't snow too much there from what I hear, but I will not have to worry about the grass for a nice while, which is good because I have no idea how to cut the grass. :P
Yes, I'm that sad and pathetic, but we wouldn't have enough ground to need a riding lawnmower and well in New Orleans we had 4 boys in the house...they did cut what little grass we had... you know that tiny little section on each side of the sidewalk up to the stairs. In the country we have more and my two little brothers cut the grass there. At my uncles and my grandparents there is a lot of grass and we use the riding lawn mowers and then we are stupid and race them. I haven't done that since I got yelled at for hanging off the back of Patti's and doing a back flip off of it. Mom wasn't too happy about that, my uncle laughed more or less and thought it was cool...haha.
Oh and my Christmas present... OMG Noele, I love it. You know those necklaces and earrings that are the "past, present, future" tri-stone ones.. that's what I go, that and a wool pea coat that I wanted. We didn't think we'd be together for Christmas, but now we are. That is a bit confusing too... we will drive up to Chicago probably and then spend Christmas Eve in Three Rivers with my family out in the country looking at the neighbors barn, provided we can see it bc it's white and there is snow everywhere...and it is about a mile away...haha. We do have a house across the street though and the neighbor, neighbor is pretty close now that the apple orchard is gone. Anyway, I'm getting very off topic; on Christmas Morning we will go to the airport and check in at about 4-5 a.m. for our flight at 6. We will fly to Savannah, GA and spend Christmas Day with his family at his grandparents house. Then we will go back to base and I will probably fly home. I forgot to mention that we will probably drive to Savannah and leave his car at the airport and drive to my place from there... That isn't certain, but we originally thought he would fly from Savannah to IL and I'd pick him up at Midway or O'Hare.... and now we are both coming and probably driving. Who knows, who knows. Point is, I move soon as heck, we are looking for a house near base, and I am happy despite knowing that for 3 months to 5 months I will have all the bills to deal with on my own. With whatever help he gives me as well. I already changed the lease here, so I have to move. :(
