The Final Countdown

It has just hit us that we will be out of here in 6 weeks. With Christmas parties, goodbye dinners, outprocessing, finishing my college class project, homeschooling, taking care of 4 kids, and sorting through all of our stuff, those 6 weeks are going to fly by. The movers will be here the day after Christmas, so I'm not planning on pulling out the decorations this year. I think that I'm going to let Ellie and Kate decorate instead. They can do as many art projects as they want - and then I can just tear them down after Christmas and I don't have to worry about packing them back up again.
We are so ready to move. I think in part because it's a training post and being here for 4 yrs means we've already seen so many friends leave. We've just been waiting for our turn to go. Alaska is going to be exciting - if we ever get there! Andy will be going up in January and the kids and /i will be staying with my parents until he can find us a house - it will probably be a few months. By the time we get there, the daylight will be back and the snow melted :)
