We're Going home!!


Well we have found out the unfortunate news, Mike is on the out bound roster for October 27th. So that I'm sure means we are going recruiting. So we are very, very, very bummed! So after my day of crying and hating life I tried to get over it and suck it up because we knew it was coming sooner than later! So I guess we will start planning on leaving. Our first decision is what to do with our house. First we need to get our buts in gear and finish all our home improvement projects. Next are we going to sell it or rent it out. We do want to sell it because the market has gone way up and we would make a good amount off it. But how fast can we sell it? But I'm afraid to let someone rent it and ruin all our work of fixing it up. So that is our hard decision!
But on the up side I'm excited to tell all my friends back home we are coming home. Well at least me and the kids are! I checked out Mike's frequent flier miles and he almost had enough for 2 free tickets and so I checked on mine and I had enough to transfer mine to his and only had to pay $111!!!! Yeah so I got to tickets home after taxes for only $131 dollar how exciting is that! So we are going home for a whole month. We are spending a weekend at my aunt and uncle who live in San Diego and then going to Mike's parents house for a week and then my mom is coming to pick me up back in San Diego and I'm going to my mom's house for 3 weeks which we are going to Utah for a week of that, so I will get to see all my grandparents and relatives and friends! And I will also be home for Thanksgiving! I am so happy about that. And the other plus side is since Mike is going to school in San Diego he will go to school during the week and have the weekends off so we will get to see him for a few weekends and hopefully they will let them off for Thanksgiving and he will come up to my parents house to spend the holiday with us. If they don't give him Thanksgiving off he will still come up for the weekend. So that is the plus side but when he does finish school after 7 weeks they will tell Mike where he is going and he and hopefully us will have 30 days to pack our house and move to wherever they send us anywhere in the US!! Which sucks. So we are going to pray that it's somewhere were he will do well and get alot of recuits and be able to come home at a decent hour to still spend time with the kids and I. I'm sure the 3 years of this is going to be long and hard but we will make it and hopefully it will make us stronger as a family!
