JG and I just got notice we might be moving to ... Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. We requested early reporting so I can still go on my deployment this summer. We could be moving as early as April.
Remember how some of my very first blog posts revolved around all of the bathroom remodeling catastrophes? Well, the bathrooms still aren't fixed and that needs to happen ASAP, among other things, to make this place rentable after we leave.
The contractor is coming today to give us an estimate. Wish me luck!

One Thousand Million
"That's how much snow we have," said Edward. The local news is calling it a blizzard. The picnic table in the backyard is no where to be found ... buried under 18 inches of snow. I have the most wonderful husband who has taken our beloved dog JuJu outside all day to do her business and I've been in the house nice and warm.
Today was productive. It had to be. We lost last weekend all together. After Zachary got the flu, it hit Edward, then me, then JG. By the time Thursday night came around I was starved. Ofcourse that was the night that everyone was at the grocery store.
So, last month I turned 32. I unwrapped a pink Wii fit cover and the movie "Julie and Julia." Then, JG suprised me with a shopping trip to Best Buy and we walked out of there with one thing - a Kitchen Aid mixer. (Gasp.)
This weekend I finally got to use the Wii Fit Plus I got for Christmas and I took the red Kichen Aid mixer out of the box. I got to try the Kitchen Aid's meat grinder attachment we got as a wedding gift (thanks Rubios) to make chicken maple sausage for breakfast with french toast.
Although the patties, made with chicken breasts, didn't end up dry it lacked the nice fatty, greasy goodness of real sausage. So, tomorrow for lunch, I'll add lots of garlic and ginger to the mix, brown it up and make eggrolls.
I did have a moment of panic when the sausage was being cooked ... the electricity flickered four or five times. Luckily it didn't go out. The sausage was saved. And, believe it or not, I didn't break anything today. (Big smile at JG.)
