 We did find a small 3/1 home in a cookie cutter neighborhood, but it does border some beautiful farmland. The house is quite cute, sits on a small lot, but enough to grow some veggies, let the dog and DS run and still have some room to stretch out. The house is easy to maintain and being new, no major headaches. It is temporary until my DH makes the switch out of the military in CA to permanent life in TX. I am so excited. We completely move in on August 1st. YIPEEE!! I am so happy.
On a sad note, we returned home to CA to finish packing and clean out our current home and found someone had thrown dog POO onto out patio and patio door and someone mowed down my tomato plants with a whipper...I was so sad- I had 4 large plants and about 30 tomatoes growing. We told housing but they really can't do anything. We are just glad I left my Jeep in the garage while we were gone. God only knows what they would have done.
Anywho- we are out of here in 5 weeks, me for good and DH to follow next year. YIPEE!! I am almost an official Texas girl.
YEAH!!!  
Cheers,
Heather

Congrats on your new home-it sounds like it will be so good for you to get there and away from whoever it was that killed your tomatoes and did the yucky poo thing.
All the best on your move! :)

Congratulations on your new home. Sorry some sad and unhappy person destroyed your wonderful tomato plants. And the dog poo? Sick. You are to be commending for just wanting to leave "quietly" although you know who did it. People like that usually thrive on turmoil and negativity and your decision not to react to this in anger shows the guilty party that you refuse to be pulled into the mud with them. When you leave, tape a note on the same door and tell them you will pray for them. Just a suggestion. I will say a prayer for you and those sad people. |

Heather,
Yeah you have a home and can look out at farmland. So glad you found a place. Major bummer about the tomatoes. I agree plant some first thing when you get to Texas. I am so happy for you. Will be praying for you and your dh for his early release and the ability to be able to spend time together as much as possible considering the circumstances.
Smile, it makes me so glad you have a home.
Life is short, enjoy every moment. |

Your move to Texas sounds like it will be a wonderful move for you and how blessed you are to be close to some pretty farm land! Remember as your unpack your boxes in your new home..."A House is a Home Where Love Dwells!" Plant some tomotoes first thing!

Yes!! MY poor little tomatoes and they were my FIRST plants I have ever grown on my own...but onto new beginnings!! DH will fly out as often as he can. He has one more deployment coming up next Spring but we are trying to get him out of it...keep your fingers crossed. He wants to apply to the police academy and maybe he will be able to get out early if he is accepted. That would be aweseome!!! It will be hard until he gets out, but we have been through a lot worse. (Long story, both on deployment, crazy military hours and needs....etc!!!!))
We know who killed the tomatoes and threw the poop but we can't prove it so we will just leave quietly. So sad because we live on a military base, supposedly a safe place to be....
Cheers,
Heather |

Mowing down tomatoes? That is a crime against all humanity!! So glad that you are moving soon. Congrats on finding a place. I know you are so relieved, I can "hear" it in your words!!
Happy packing and have a safe move!
