Well.. it finally happened. We have LEFT Ft Rucker. It should be feeling AMAZING right about now, but since it was a long drive and its the summer time, I think we are just happy to not be doing much of anything. Let me fill you in on life...
The movers came and went with all our stuff. We have stuff on a ship to Korea, with the military to be flown over, in storage back in Ozark, AL and with us to be taken to our parents houses. We cleaned for 4 days (since we burned ourselves out each day, it took awhile). But we signed out of everything and are now "homeless". We stayed at the hotel on post the last night in AL.
We left Tues morning and drove. Thinking we would push ourselves, we planned to stay in Fort Smith, AR and arrive by 9p. Ya, that did not happen. We went thru northern AL and got detoured because of the tornado that hit a week prior. Then we got detoured again because of flooding in Memphis and Arkansas. Apparently when you live in AL, you dont hear about things that happen elsewhere. We had NO idea there was flooding. So, we got detoured AGAIN. It was bad the first two days. We didnt get to our hotel rooms til about 11p each night and the children got SO tired of being stuck in the car. But the last day of driving brought us to LV where we will spend the weekend.
Life is crazy. This time next month, we are in KOREA and living a new culture. Its going to be an interesting experience, but one we are looking forward to.
