So the Navy has decided that it's time for us to move on. I'm really really excited. We found out we're going to Millington, TN. That's just outside of Memphis in case you didn't know. I've got great friends that still live there and so we are even more ready for the move because we know they're there! I've gotten Lilly in a preschool and I've been looking at many a house to find something for us there to live in. I've found quite a few that are "perfect" but I'm undecided on which perfect we want. Do I want to live in a house for just over 2 years that is smallish, like the one we have now, but it is cheaper and in the school area that I want. Or do I pay a bit more and get the house that I really want. I feel like I need more room than we have here, but I know it's not a need. It's a want so I need to decide what is really important. I would love to have a playroom and/or office as well as the 4 bedrooms. But that is a lot of space. Is it smarter to just stick with the 4 bedrooms and have the kids' toys all over their rooms? And what about guests? I would love to have a place for guests to stay. Too many decisions, and that's only about the house.
I'm going to go to school when we get there too. I've been wanting to go back to school for a long time now. Babies happened and I put my education on hold for a little while so that I could devote all of my time to the kids. Now the kids are getting older and everyone is in school a few days a week and I have a little bit of time. I'm going to do it! I want to have something outside of just being mommy. It's important to me and that's the only reason I'm doing it.
The next few months are going to bring lots of change for the Smith House. Chris will be gone, I'm moving (on my own!!), we'll be homeless for a little while, I'm leaving all of my really good friends behind. These women have kept me going these past 3 years when things were tough, I had them to turn to. Now I'm going to be kind of starting over, turning a page. I'm a strong woman, I know I can do this! But it scares the crap out of me honestly.

I say stick with what you have, the more rooms, the more furniture and crap you add :)
And as far as saying goodbye... its just a vacation til we live next eachother again :)
Luv you girl!
You are a strong woman! U will def want an office for when u go back to school! I only have one baby with a 3 bedroom and a bonus room and i feel like we need more space! So, i can only imagine how u feel.
Glad to hear you know where you are going. We're still on the boat, stuck here for another 6 months.
I just read on SWC that Millington wasn't your first choice. Can I ask what was? Just curious. Our slate just opened up and we'll try to go to Monterey.
Maybe one day in the future our paths will cross again. Is Chris staying in the Navy or is he getting out?
Good luck with your move, and I say got for the bigger house if you can afford it :) Talk to you later :)
