Day 3 in not wating patiently

I checked the online rentals and sales listings. I guess time isn't right.

Larry has to decide if he's going to apply to flight school or stay here.

And reality- THAT needs to happen before I feel any need to buy a house, I don't-care-what-real-estate- experts-say-that-this-is-the-time-to-buy. Because..Really- if he goes to flight school, it will be 6 months in Pensacola (for him, the entire family isn't moved so he understands) which means we *could* put everything in storage and rent something there like we did last time we did when he was in Pensacola.

But we wouldn't be as free to do that if we owned a just-bought-house here.

But he is at a 1 year position and someone important suggested that Larry could stay here 2 years at this position. Which would be 1 more year of super unlikely to deploy. And I'm pretty excited that one of my few friends' husband is his same battallion unit. So the "family fun day" that only the unit's families go to- I'd have a friend there. cool! and the other side- in the event they deploy, we'd be in the same boat.

So.still no answers. Still living in limbo. But limbo has become the "new normal" around here. If I had the ability to plan more than 6 months ahead I think I'd have an anxiety attack. Welcome to the military- no need to plan, the government will do that for you.

But today- I can plan.
We're going to hit the 'percent off clearance' sales at the outlet and exchange to see if we can hopefully get some good deals on clothes and shoes for the tribe for next year.

And then we're going to hit legoland and visit the Indiana Jones area with the intent to tie-in the scenery and stuff with the unit we are doing on Ancient Eygpt.

I wish there was somewhere nearby we could tie in "ancient Rome and Greece.." without going to Las Vegas.
