We are MOVING!!!

No we are not leaving Alaska....YET. We went to a friends house out in Palmer Friday night and their next door neighbor had his house up for rent. Mike talked us into going to check it out, and what do you know? I fell in love!

We didn't have any plans to move off post. Jerome has wanted to live out in the Valley for a while, though. Living on post was great for us while he was deployed. It is so convenient and everything is within walking distance. However, Jerome is not in a deploy-able unit anymore, so that is not an issue. We have 2 1/2 years left here, so we thought we would try something different.

Plus, the rent is way less than our BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing). You do not get this when living on post. The only downside is that it is a 35-50 minute drive from Fort Richardson depending on the traffic and weather. But Jerome said that was not an issue for him, and he can also carpool if he wants.

Of course, we prayed about it over the weekend. Everything seems to be just right for us and the kids are super excited too! So Monday Jerome went to the housing office and we called the Realtor to get the lease started. By Wednesday I had the keys in my hand :)

We are going to start moving stuff up there tomorrow, and we have to be out of our house here on July 7th. So we will be celebrating Jerome's Birthday at the NEW HOUSE!!!!
