Go Sami

Hey all. Not much has really happened lately. We've got Alex fully potty trained and Samantha has started with hers and she's doing really well. Deryn got the results from his E-6 exam. he passed but didn't make rank. He'll do much better next time.
Me , I'm looking into going back to school. The military will pay about $6k for me to go to school. Which is awesome. How can I turn that down. Only problem is the school I'm interested in attending is on the other side of Jacksonville. I don't like to drive that far very often. So I may just look into online courses if I can. And also the school isn't on the list for militaryonesource and i cant figure out how to get it added LOL.
The kids and I are heading to Mom's for a couple of weeks then to Texas to see D's family. I hope D is able to take leave during his down time from school cus i rly don't want to drive back by myself. But i will if i have too LOL. My plans keep changing by the day. It's starting to get irritating LOL.
I leave u with this quote from Samantha. She says it to me every morning like I don't know who she is LOL. "Good morning Mommy. It's me Samanther's" Girl is too cute for her own words.

We made it

Wow long time no post. Everything went fine on our move. We left Maryland on the 27th a couple of hours ahead of schedule. Which is awesome. I love housing up there LOL. We got to Cass's house that evening. She blamed us for bringing the rain with us. But yeah like we really planned that lol. We spent the weekend at her house. We went to the aquarium and the beach. Most of the time we just sat around and enjoyed the company while the kids played. Lily my "niece" told me that she and Alex got married. And she went chasing him all over the house trying to give him kisses. So cute.
We got to Jacksonville Tuesday evening. Picked up our keys to the house on Wednesday. We've only been in this house for 2 weeks and the chain on our toilet snapped, sami broke an electric outlet with her poster ( don't ask me how she did it cus i dont know lol) and theres a clog deep in our pipes so the dishwasher hasnt worked right for the past 2 days. You just gotta loved remodeled homes. My washer finally died. The motor decided that it didnt want to spin anymore. So we just bought a new one. We've made numerous calls to the repair man for the past 2 years to come fix it but they came once to look at it. and have been making excuses since not to come back to fix it. Course that was back in Maryland and 2 days after we get here. My washer dies. I just decided that i was done with it. Tired of messing with effing retards that dont want to do their jobs. Believe D and I did rip them new ones.
Anyways, I am loving Florida. The people dont seem as crazy as they are up north lol. Much more friendlier anyways.
Next week D starts his school and Alex gets enrolled in Kindergarten. I drove by the school today and its really nice.
Dude to some circumstances that have come up I've had to delay my trip to Oklahoma til June. Which is no biggie. We are just waiting on D to get his cars registration paperwork in. I dont feel comfortable leaving him here without a car to drive to and from school. Hope all is well.

Moving

Well the movers came and packed us up and will be back on Monday to pick up our stuff. As of Monday or Tuesday we won't have internet so it wont be til after the first when I can post again. Our phone will be turned off Monday as well. If u need to get ahold of us call the cell. If we don;t answer just leave a message and we'll call back as soon as we can. Cus our signal here at the house sucks. Next weekend we'll be at Cass' house in North Carolina for a wee mini vacation. Then on Monday or Tuesday ( depending on if we can get our keys early) will be heading to Florida.

Another busy week.

Last Saturday the kids and I met up with some friends at the Jumpyard out in town. We all had a great time. As usual the kids didn't want to leave LOL. We spent Sunday cleaning so we could get ready for our pre-inspection on Monday. Well the guy didnt show up. D called and was told that the appointment was for Tuesday. Tuesday comes no show. D calls again and someone didnt put us in the book for the day. Wednesday the movers came over for a little survey to see how many boxes and what not that they'll need for the 20th. Thursday the maitenance guy finally comes and stays 5 mins just to tell us to clean the appliances, floors and baseboards and not to worry about the walls. Im like wtf you could have called and said it over the phone instead of wasting the gas to come by LOL. We also got a new dining room table from a friend of Deryn's who is also moving to Jax, FL. Saved us a 100 bucks. Today the kids and I took down all the pictures and went through our kitchen and threw out some appliances and pans that we haven't used in forever. No point in keeping 3 sets of pans lol. Anyways the highlight of the week... ( drumroll pleae) WE GOT A HOUSE!!!. Housing called Monday afternoon and said that they had a 3 bedroom open up and already put our name on it. She gave us the address and all we have to do on the First is come sign paperwork and grab the keys. Everything is starting to fall into place. Im so effing excited. Then whats even better is that I found out that a friend of mine and her hubby is also moving to Mayport. Nothing much going on this weekend besides putting aside what we'll need for the week that we'll be in the house with no furniture and at Cass' place.

Yay for snow.

What a week. On Sunday we got a foot of snow. Which to me is a real treat seeing that it'll be 3 years before I'll see it again. The kids and daddy got to make a snow fort. then all three of them came at me with snowballs. Yeah i won that fight lol.

So with all the snow that meant that our pre-inspection with housing didn't happen.

thats rescheduled for Monday. Deryn took his E-6 exam on Thursday. He says he done good. But feels that he didn't make it. We talked to housing in Mayport. There is a good chance that we will have a house when we get down there next month. Not just any house but one of the new houses. I'm very excited about that.Deryn talked to TMO about scheduling the move. So all we are waiting on is for the movers to call us. Yesterday the kids and I went outside and played in the snow. The head fell off a snowman and alex picked it up and chased me around the house with it. Then he threw it at me, but he missed LOL.

Today we have a whole lot of nothing besides catching up on laundry to do. Tomorrow Alex and Sami have a playdate over at the Jump Yard with friends.

*update* mayport housing called and as of today they only have a 2 bedroom available. But are expecting the new 3 and 4 bedrooms to be turned over anyday now. Please keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer too.

Another day another dollar.

YAY ITS PAYDAY. I went to the commissary this morning and it was actually quiet in there lol. It's supposed to be 61 today so I might take the kiddos to the park. Its exactly 30 days til our move, so that means we are putting in our 30 days notice to housing. Im so excited about that. I have lots to do to get ready and only less 25 days to do it.
Tomorrow i have to go back up north to get my new plates and tags from the dealership. Oh joy i was kinda hoping that they would mail them to me. OH WELL... We need a day to get away from the phone. Ds work keeps calling him to come in when hes off work for stupid crap. so it would be nice to be away from the phone for a couple hours. We have to put Ds car in the shop to get brakes replaced and a tune up so it will be road ready.
Alex and Samantha have actually been rather quiet the past 2 days. ( knock on wood).
Hopefully D will be back on days on Monday or I'm gonna be uber pissed.
Grats to my friend Mandy and her hubby. Their dog is the cutest dog on Tinker this month. Miss Rosie is a doll. I just might go steal her. Muahahaha. but then again my "wifey" can get really mean and I don't want to get her mad. LOL.

Busy week.

My new baby, Mom got here Wednesday afternoon. It was sleeting and snowing and she wasnt wearing a jacket lol. So we took her out to Chili's for lunch and to walk around Arundel Mills Mall in Baltimore.

On Thursday mom and I had our girls day out. we went to Lenny's for lunch then out to Point Lookout to see the Lighthouse. We walked around the little beach near by where ppl have seen a ghost of a lady walking around looking for graves. We were all alone and we heard footsteps behind us. The wind wasnt blowing anything to make a crunching sound. IT WAS AWESOME. Then we went to Leornardtown and drove around for a bit before coming back to town to do a little bit of shopping,

Friday was my birthday. D got me a new digital camera. I got new shirts and pants from Mom and Terry. Peggy sent me some birthday money ( don't know what ill spend that on just yet lol). Oh and D got a cake. yeah I kicked his arse for it to. D and I had our night out. We had dinner at Lone Star. The food was pretty good. I had me a strawberry daiquri. I deserved it since it was my 26th birthday.

Today we all went to the Air museum outside the base then had lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise. The food was good. But out waiter sucked lol. we ended out day at Point lookout again so D and the kids could see it. Yeeeeah that lasted 5 minutes cus everyone else was cold and wouldn't look around with me. .. chickens... lol.

Tomorrow mom goes home. Poor Alex he didn't want Gramma out of his sight all weekend. Poor thing wouldnt even go number 2 on the potty. so we finally got him going again today. So he's all better. We thought there was something wrong with him. But we figured out that the problem was that he didnt want to leave grandma. Cus everytime we'd say go to the bathroom Alex, hed scream for her and wouldnt go unless she was with him.. Poor guy. Grandma prolly feels bad because of it. And she shouldn't. he's just a stubborn guy.

Sami has really enjoyed her visit. Always hanging around gramma. And gramma got to see that Sami has developed a very loud personality LOL. Poor sami got to learn that Gramma doesn;t put up with her back talk either. Sami got real mad when Grandma called her on it lol.

Let me say that it was real nice to have them crawling on someone else for a change. We are planning a visit for May once everything is settled in Florida. I could use a vacation now that i have a vehicle that i can travel in. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Cus i know we sure did,
