Wow, has it really been over 6 months since I last wrote a post?  This year has just flown by, and now it's time to up stakes and move.  Over my life time I've moved 14 times and it seems they have all been different in some way or another.  If you're wondering, yes, I married a military man.  Today has been a long exhausting day as it is the eve of our scheduled pack-out.  Exhausted because for the last few weeks I've been setting aside everything I need for the next 6 weeks including…
