And I am moving house again … and I tell you that it HIT me like a ton of bricks that this is my life now – moving house every 2-3 years is going to be an integral part of this new life. I never really thought about the consequences of this life before, because I had made up my mind that no matter what life threw my way, it was going to be worth it just to be with him.
I find that the reality is slightly different. It’s not that it’s worth it just so I can be with him, it’s more along the lines of … it’s part and parcel of him and I married him so I married the life …
And you know what, frankly, it isn’t that bad when you think about it. This time, I’m not moving on my own … plus on top of that, who gets a chance to completely remodel their home every 2 years?
Yea, I’ma look at it like that. Every 2-3 years, I get a chance to change the way things are in my home. The home may be in a different geographical location each time, but I can spend all my days creating ways to make each house a home. Make a project of it.

It’s funny to see Hubby’s face when I trot out all my plans for this new house. He keeps saying “later, right?” And I keep laughing and saying, “Yes hun, later. I’m just making my list.” And he responds with “Make TWO lists – a now one and a later one”. And I just laugh. I did the 2 lists, yes. But its still funny because its unlikely that I will do anything without asking him first. I’m still not quite happy with that progress, but I’m getting there. Ask first. It’s still a new concept for me, but I am working hard on getting it right.
So anyway, we have to be out of here and in the new place by this Friday … so we’re working hard to get as much stuff moved in as short a time as possible. I gotta tell ya, it REALLY helps to have someone help you with the heavy bits. I HATE moving. I usually leave stuff behind simply because I am just sick of hauling stuff around. This time, tho, I think I have enough help that that may not happen at all. We’re doing the small bits while we wait for muscle and an open back van to help us with the big bits. Our plan should have us in the new house by Wednesday night. The kids (as I’ve come to refer to Bear and Nala now) will go over on the same day that WE go over for good. I don’t want them spending a night by themselves. I even have a room for them setup so they can be pretty much out of the way of the movers and activity. They’ll HEAR it, but it shouldn’t affect them too much .. hopefully.
Anywho, it’s time to start the day now … more movings and I need food and stuff. So toodles.

So glad you're enjoying married life. And I'm also glad that Bear is okay now. What a scare that must have been. I know what it feels like. Pets are so much like children.

Walk good, sistren.
But…! What's gonna happen when you start working?
