Day Eight This PCS came upon us so suddenly that I was scrambling to get some dental and family care appointments done. I had been pacing these visits out so that our portion of the commute and cost could be spread out over a few months. But we don't have a few months to get… Continue reading Make an appointment

Just Gotta Lose Some Pounds
[image source_type="attachment_id" source_value="2312" align="center" size="medium"] Day Seven A military PCS (permanent change of station) would never be complete without the purge!

Make Those Calls
Day Two I spend the second day of all my PCS's on the phone! I am either calling or texting family and friends to tell them about the move. ~ I call my mother because she is always on my call list! Actually, we often joke around in my family that the daughter (there are… Continue reading Make Those Calls
