moving day is almost here

Disregard the last post, Fort Belvoir housing is a bunch of morons and we now have a newer, nicer house to move into. They are coming to pack us up tomorrow and move us on Friday!! I have been told that there is a weight limit (it is apparently based on your rank) hopefully we don't go over this because then we will have to pay. I only mention this because when the guy came to do the pre-move inspection to see how much stuff we had, he said we had a lot. After that I decided we could get rid of something things so I donated 6 bags of stuff to the Lupus foundation. Whoever invented that these charities come to your house and pick up your donations is a genius, I love it!
Also, I have a doctor's appointment on August 4, hopefully it will be followed with good news!

homeless

We will not be moving on Fort Belvoir. They called us today to tell us the current tenants have decided not to vacate the property that we were scheduled to move into in 2 weeks! We are now homeless. We gave our landlord notice quiet some time ago, so now the search begins.

brief update


Happy Belated 4th of July! I hope everyone had wonderful cook-outs and great fireworks to watch. My niece Audrey James was born on Wednesday July 2, so I think I might call her a little firecracker from now on, especially if she takes after her mother. Our 4th was uneventful, just had a cook-out with the family and set off our fireworks.
Saturday we went to see The Lion King at the Kennedy Center and it was AWESOME!!! It totally surpassed all my expectations and Chris' too. I'm not sure why but in the beginning when the animals are all walking in and they are singing "The Circle of Life" I got a little teary, it was touching although I'm not sure why.
We bought a Mac on Saturday and I think this is probably one of the best purchases we have made in quiet some time. Our old computer was a piece of garbage and took forever to do anything, so the Mac is a pleasant change. I would compare the old computer to a 1990 something Hyundai, not reliable and you never know when it's going to stop running on you and the new computer to a nice, shiny Lexus, definitely an upgrade.
First RESOLVE meeting is tomorrow night, I'm a little skeptical, but also looking forward to going and hearing everyone story.
