Made it to New Mexico!

So...It has been a while since I posted a new blog. I am so bad about this and I try to keep it updated as much as possible. We are no longer living in Florida, we moved to New Mexico last Saturday. Right now we are staying in TLF(military hotel) and on Tuesday we will be getting our new house. Cora has been staying with a friend of ours till that time and it's been really hard not being with her every minute, so I totally miss her.
The wind here is insane...It smells like cow poop all the time, due to a dairy farm about 5 mins from here. We are pretty much in the middle of nowhere but it reminds me of maupin/dufur/TD all in one, so I am use to that living style. It is just a huge change from Florida!
The whole drive here went real well, there was some bad weather but luckily we got the end of the storm and the wind from texas all the way to New Mexico was bad but I guess that's why they say if you own a motorcycle here, then you may want to rethink it because one minute there could be no wind and the next minute the wind is 40mph.
I have a ton of pics from the drive on my camera, but my camera cord was packed with the move, so I wont be able to put new pics up till we move into our place.
I will keep you guys posted on whats to come!

Update










So..I am been a little lazy on this, so now I am trying to figure out where I have left off at. I had my last day of work last thursday and it was a bittersweet day. We went out to Chilis that night and said "goodbye". I tried to keep the tears in but of course I am the emotional type, so I start crying a little. I'll post some pics up in a little bit. Me with my flowers they got me.
The snowglobe the AYLI girls got me.:)
Jen(belly), Brenda, Me, Amy, Lisa and Gretchen. Love you All!!












Lisa, Me and Therese. Such wonderful ladies in my life that I will never forget. Miss you already!

The final moving day is approaching quite fast. The movers are coming this thursday and then the cleaning lady will be here on friday. For the weekend, we will be staying in bility till that wednesday and then we are off on a long drive to New Mexico. I am so excited, but I am nervous in a way. I am looking forward to the drive, but since kenny and I are both driving separate cars, it's going to be a little boring. I'll try to find ways to entertain by listening to the radio and of course Cora will be switching cars throughout the trip. I hope she will be fine with the long drive out there.

Final plans on Moving!

Ok, so this will be the last blog for the day. I just had so much going on in one time where I wanted to keep things separate. So, now that the family is gone we are getting down to business with our moving.
My last day of work is next thursday, which is kinda sad but I am trying to be strong and get through it as dry as I can. It has been a wonderful 2 years of working there and I am truly going to miss everyone there. Its been great working with everyone and my bosses are the best ever. They are apart of my family.
The movers are coming on March 26th, and they will be packing up everything for us, so we just have to be here to watch. Then on March 27th, the cleaning lady is going to be here in the morning and it'll take her about 4-5 hours to clean the whole house. I am going to carpet clean the place, since I am in love with carpet cleaning. Then that day/ weekend Kenny is going to be working on the back and front lawns and then we will be making sure that we cut the grass, clean garbage cans, clean up the back yard and make it look good.
Cora will be hanging out at one of our neighbors backyard for the time being. We will be staying in bility that weekend until we leave on April 1st.
For the most part, we are ready to leave. All we have to worry about is packing up things that we will need for the week and the travel to New Mexico, making sure the front and back yard is in good shape.
Once that is all done, then we will meet back on base on Monday the 30th for the final inspection and after that is finished we will be done and just be waiting for us to travel.
This whole thing seems like everything is moving so fast. We are ready for a new adventure and living in a new area, so it's very exciting.
I called over to Housing in New Mexico and we are 17 on the list, so if we get there over the weekend then we will be staying in lodging for the weekend and hopefully that monday we will have a place and will get settled in. We will be leaving before our things, so we are hoping that it will not take 2 weeks before we get our furniture.
I will keep you posted on our travels to New Mexico when we do leave.

Katlin and My going away Brunch!



Katlin and I at our going away Brunch! Aw... I am going to miss you girl!








So, on February 29th was a bittersweet day. We had Katlin's going away Brunch, it was also mine too but mainly for Katlin. She moved to Alabama with her hubby and son to start a life there. It's going to be lonely without her at work, but in the end I'll be leaving also, so it's not too bad.We we a great time hanging out that day and it was great to just relax and talk with most of the coworkers. It was a really cold day!

Here are some pics I took!

Me, Gretchen, Brenda and Katlin!










Me and Jasmin, waiting on the rest of the people to arrive!












Jen, Brenda, Me, Katlin and Baby Patrick. He's such a doll!

Todd and Neri's Visit!

Todd and Neri's Visit to Florida!




Todd and Neri on their Moped Kenny and I in Panama City on our Moped.



So, A lot has been going on here. First, Kenny's Brother Todd and His wife Neri came to visit us last week. We had such a blast. We went to Panama City and road around on Mopeds, it was cold but the sun was out so that helped with the coldness. We went around Destin and the area that we live at. We also saw Watchmen, I have to say that we should have not even gone to that movie. Especially on the first night. Not the type of movie that I thought it was going to be and it was also almost 3 hours long.
Here's some Pics of when they visited us!

Todd and I at Red Lobster on what to be their last day but ended up missing their plane, so they stayed a couple more days!Neri and Todd at Red Lobster! It was such a beautiful day out and the wind wasn't too cold.

We went to the beach and it was a little chilly outside. We decided to bury Neri, so we dug her a huge hole and then we piled sand on top of her. It was fun and then in the end we needed to take pictures, so we sat on her and smiled away. it was a great time. The boys played Beach Volleyball that day too. It was a beautiful day!










Then after we were done at the beach, we went to Hooters! We took a picture of the boys with a Hooter girl. They had the biggest smile on their faces!

Update


Today we have finished up with everything that needed to be done for our move to New Mexico. We have our pre inspection on March 4th and on March 30th, that'll be our final inspection. We are thrilled to be almost done living here and moving to a different place.
On March 23rd we will be having the movers come and move our things for us. We will be living in our empty house for about a week until the final inspection. Then we will be living on base for a couple days till we leave April 1st.
It has been a great time living in Florida and we have had so many memories living here, we are thrilled about moving to a new place and starting a new life for us there. It wont be as busy there as it is here but we will make the most of it because there is nothing we can do about moving.
We will fill everyone in on our journey to New Mexico when we do get our place there and get the internet up.

Other news, I am working a couple extra weeks. So my last day of work is not feb. 28th. I just wanted to help out my bosses by training a new receptionist.
