Ah the joys of the good ole PCS. Home is where the military sends us. Just a few weeks after our vacation in July, Jacob received the news we'd been waiting for... MOVING. To make it a million times more exciting... MOVING TO UTAH! We are heading "home". At least, to the Ortega home. We can't wait to arrive, again.
In the meantime, we embarked on the adventure of living inside a model home. Ah, the house is on the market. Pro - we have learned how just a little bit of cleaning everyday can go a very long way. Con - we really dare not touch anything in our home. You'd think this would give me more time to blog, but when do I ever have more time to blog? I'm terrible at this! Can't you tell?
Owen starts Kindergarten in SD two weeks from now. He'll have to "start" kindergarten all over again in just a few months. Luckily he is such a happy little dude, I'm sure he'll do fine. Danica on the other hand really couldn't care less about moving, she seems to know it's happening, but it's really not worth anything more than a shrug. Hopefully she remains this calm about moves when she is a teenager and her friends are her world. ;)
I find myself telling Owen every couple of days "all that matters is that Daddy, Mommy, Owen, Danica, Nala, and Maddox are all going together. That's what is important, Owen. Family is the most important thing". If you learn anything from moves - it may not be the perfect way to arrange the kitchen for the packers - the best way to stuff a months worth of clothes into a suitcase - or how to get the dogs to not whine through an entire state - you learn that anything is possible with family around to keep you moving!
