Day 316 - Apr 12, 2009

Whew! I am just plum tuckered out! My wonderful family and I have spent the last two days moving all of the furniture we had in my parents' place to ours, then moving my parents' stuff into their home and also moving the rest of the furniture that I had bought a while ago from a storage unit and getting it all moved into the house. Total chaos, truly! Now I just need to convince the Army to move all of our things from PA down and we will be all set. For some reason, they won't do it because Kevin hasn't been permanently stationed here?? Makes no sense to me - how much more permanent can you get?

Anyway, I need to get back to organizing so I will try to catch up tomorrow night. Hopefully I will find my camera cord too so that I can share pics that I took. I can tell you this - Kevin is ecstatic! He just keeps wheeling all over the house - back and forth. And this morning he got up, got a bowl, got his cereal and poured it into his bowl, got the milk from the fridge and poured it in his bowl, took it to the table, ate fully and then made me get up and unload the dishwasher so that he could put his dirty bowl into it. I am already seeing unbelievable signs of independence! Yay!!!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter!!

The military will only move furniture when one is being re-assigned to a different post of service.
I know because when I was younger I drove an 18-wheeler that hauled only GI freight(household furniture/possessions. It was usually boxed up in wooden boxes.
Since Kevin is in medical care and has not been re-assigned to a new post [or re-tired] then they are right by saying they do not ship the items from Pa. to your location. Sorry to agree with them but having had the task of being used as part of the process I made certain I learned how it worked.

Sounds like a good, but exhausting weekend! I love to hear that Kevin is already gaining more independence being in the house. I've been thinking of you over the weekend and I'm so glad you're finally there.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.
