Sorry it's been a while, it's been a crazy week. Erin was supposed to arrive yesterday but wasn't able to make her Seattle flight as the plane from Victoria was broken... so we are on our way to pick her up today.
I have been doing some purging this week and trying to get rid of so much stuff we don't need. I donated a lot of Ella's outgrown cloths, our old clothes and knick knacks... I have no idea how we ended up with so much stuff! So this week has been busy. The purge was a panic response to the possibility of us moving houses... We currently live in a neighborhood with renovated and non-renovated homes. As of October 1, non-renovated homes will have a rent reduction and by us moving out of our pretty-decent-for-military renovated house into a non-renovated I-can't-believe-I-live-here home, would put a whole lot of $$$ into our pocket. Of course talking ourselves into moving down the street to the "hood" didn't change the fact that the move was denied. "Apparently" the policy is that we are allowed to move from one neighborhood to another, but not WITHIN a neighborhood. Military = government = no sense. They couldn't give us any reason why, even after I demanded to talk to the Master Cheief of Navy Housing, and was told "it's just policy". So now we're going to go talk to the army housing people and see what they have available. Perhaps staying here is easiest but we at least have to try to get that extra money. :)
