Better get used to it.

About two entries or so ago, I had mentioned that I would be moving in less than a year.  It's the normal rotation of most officers in the military.  Three years then it's off to a new place.  There are lots of officers who don't like that very much because they have families, kids, whatever.  I, on the other hand, love the idea of moving every three years.  I get to go and see new places, experience new things, meet new people, etc.  What's even better is I have no family to 'uproot'.  Just me and my dog and she doesn't really care where we are as long as I am with her and bring food.  I was really looking forward to my next move. 

Now, however, the military has decided it was too expensive to move people every three years and has extended all orders to four years.  I was so disappointed.  As I have mentioned several times before, it's not bad here in Shreveport Bossier,  but i was looking forward to going someplace new next year, and now I am not going anywhere until the fall of 2008.  Two full years from now.  I am sure I will get over it, but in the meantime, I am just going to whine about it,  and maybe upgrade my counter tops to granite.

After you are done with your countertops, Michelle wants you to come here and tile our laundry room. LOL.

Sorry to hear about the stagnation. It's the new trend in the Army, too.

How's "The Visit" coming?

PS. Great story about your pumpkin carving. We carved one, too, and it brought back the same memories. I wonder if our other sibling remembers it the same way...
