We have....

Our orders!! KS called me about an hour ago and let me know that we FINALLY received our orders... and we are headed to......

The East Coast
(and only 5 hours from home!!)

Right now we are just praising the Lord, because his contract for Airborne training has been canceled. We are guessing that they reviewed his medical profiles and decided he wasn't fit for it. We knew that and we are so thankful that they realized that before they shipped him over there just for him to get medically discharged from it. At this point I am exhausted and headed to bed considering it is 12:48am right now and I have to be up early to take the boys to get their school physicals done.

Excited!

I Just checked KS's ERB and we have finally been moved to Rule 5 in his ASK, we should have orders VERY soon!!!

(I hope)

Surprise, Surprise...

No orders today, I cant say I'm surprised we didn't get them today, I had a sneaking suspicion we wouldn't be. The thought that "yea, they said we would have them today" was way to good to be true, Then today gets here and they are a no show. Typical Army fashion, everything on their time. I guess the guy down at S1 didn't have quite as much pull as he thought he did when he called up and said that all these troops need orders by today. Thankfully its really not that big of a deal, we will get our orders EVENTUALLY and once they do get here I have a feeling I will be racing around like a mad woman trying to get everything ready to move in a short time frame... again.  Oh well, like my good friend Kimmy said "Maybe short notice moves will be your thing..." I have a feeling she is going to be right about that one. I put my first move together from start to finish in three weeks... who knows how long I will have to put this one together in, we are down to six short weeks at this point. That is still longer then three though :-) Maybe we will have orders tomorrow, or the next day, or even the day after that... oh well c'est la vie

News

Its not THE news but it is news, we WILL have orders on Monday. Or so we have been told from S1, the guy who actually prints and hands out the orders. He has taken names of everyone orderless (so not a word...) and has promised orders by the end of the day Monday.... I will believe it when I have the orders in my hand. Until then its still just wishful thinking.

I have started my lists again, I am up to 3 so far. If you remember when I moved here for KS's AIT I had probably 8 lists going at one time. Hopefully I won't break that record. I would like to keep this move as simple as possible, although the words simple and PCSing just do not go together.

I have been obsessing over the post we will most likely be PCSing to. I have housing picked out, I know which elementary school the boys will be attending on post and I even found out that they have a swim team and swimming lessons all year.

Hopefully I will be able to get on here Monday and say that we FINALLY have orders!!

Orders...

Why is it that just when we think we are going to get orders literally any day now, human resources decides to go on vacation??? No orders for AT LEAST another week.
