::Sigh:: Moving Day is Here.

Well everyone, the boxes are packed and headed to Oak Harbor, the cars are cleaned out and ready for their bags, the air mattress is out hiding for its once a year use, and there is cleaning to be done! Move number four (in 2.5 years) has gotten under way. I used to get stressed out for previous moves and would have to excuse myself to the back porch to read a book while everything was touched by hands that may not have been cleaned after use. ((YUCK)) But for this move, I think I took it in stride... until! they almost left 11 boxes in the master closet. Really?!?! Who doesn't check every room to make sure they got all boxes? Apparently our movers. Jared and I were looking through the house when I found all of our clothes and shoes still there.

The next big task is cleaning. I hate cleaning as it is, but cleaning a NOW very dirty house that is empty almost seems worse to me. Sure there is nothing there to have to move, but I can nitpick all day! Who knows what they will find to keep our deposit?

My last day at Navy Relief was on Tuesday. It was a very sad day. The people that you meet can make or break the experience you have. The people that I have met in Jacksonville have really made me feel so very welcome. They took me in and showed me the ropes and helped me with advice from their experiences. I will really miss the ladies in the office and know Oak Harbor will not be the same. Jacksonville is by far the most awesome office ever! If you ever head to Jacksonville for a stay and want something to do, Navy Relief is a great place to go. They are always looking for hardworking volunteers :). There was a big lunch for me on Tuesday and a lot of people showed up to wish me farewell. It was awesome seeing how many people showed up! I also received a Superior Service Award signed by the Admiral for the work that I have done at Navy Relief. I am looking forward to going to the office in Oak Harbor and meeting everyone there. I hope I can do as much there as I have in Jax.

Jared and I are headed to visit friends along the way and we couldn't be more excited for these visits!! We are also going to see the sights of Las Vegas and head to the zoo in San Diego before Jared checks in. These next few weeks will test our patience due to the pressure Jared will be under going through SERE and the stress that I will have to endure waiting for him to get finished. Thank you in advance to all who offered a pit stop while we make our way to San Diego. Be prepared for a dinner repay!

Now the journey of 3700 miles to Oak Harbor begins!

See you soooonnnnnnnn! <3 LOOOOOVVVVEEEE Megan
