Orders?

Well, AFRS decided once again that where we were matched to wouldn't work for them after all. Not even his first assignment was what he chose. So far, the closest match we've gotten was #6 - and we were originally matched to our #1! Oh well. Everything happens for a reason, right?

Off to Utah in December, but we still haven't gotten orders. This makes me worry. (Everything makes me worry, though) I'm excited to finally be around an AF base again but Utah is SO far away from either side of the family and far away from any of our dear friends from Indy. I know we'll be fine out there, and DH will like traveling again. He likes traveling because he gets to get out and meet people, help them be better recruiters, and pay it forward with tricks of the trade. He hates traveling because he's away from us three out of four weeks and it aggrevates his back problems. However, he does get to come home and he's not overseas. Thank God for that.

Back to the location. Base housing was only 1160 square feet for a 4-bedroom SNCO house. What? I called the housing office and asked what was available for us and this is the only option. Hmmm, let me think. Deal with the grass police, only cars and trash cans in the carport, paying for storage, and living quite cramped or paying out-of-pocket for rent? Pay out-of-pocket for sure. Seriously, how do you fit 4 bedrooms in 1160 square feet??? Maybe we just have too much crap, but I know we can't fit in that. Not to mention the contantly-barking beagle that would create quite a problem on base...

Here's hoping we get orders soon so we can start house hunting!
