Wednesday August 26th.....FMO arrives

So as you can see the biggest headaches on this end are about to be over! I am so excited to get everything out of the house! We have cleaned the mower enough that I think they will take it. The grill is a lost cause I am afriad. We had the boys wash the bikes today and once the van is gone we will be able to clean patio furniture and put it in the garage. I did 8 loads of laundry this weekend so I should be able to start packing next week. I separated a bunch of stuff that is being kept out a few weeks ago so that is done. We need to borrow a mower to take care of our lawn so I need to ask the neighbors if they can let us use theirs for the next few weeks.

We still don't know about housing in New Jersey. The base says they will only give us a three bedroom because we have all boys. We are pre approved to buy a house, but it's expensive there and we just don't know much about the area. It's hard to know what the schools will be like and once you buy you are stuck! So that is up in the air still. We have been emailing with a realtor and have two possible houses to see when we get there. Our biggest dilemma is not many have garages and that is a must. A lot of them have pools and I would prefer to avoid that all together! So our options are somewhat slim for our budget.

I have two extra kids and it seems Valery and Cody found something fun to entertain themselves with! Not sure it is the best thing though so had better run for now!
