Packing

Today has been a productive day so far! We have managed to use all of the 15 boxes we bought from Lowe's , plus a couple that were just laying around from our last move.
I am actually surprised at how excited I am to be moving, even if it's down the street and around the block. It will be something different and we'll have painted walls! I also wanted to share my thoughts about today's packing!
It's all so over whelming and as I stand in the rooms, I wonder where I should begin. This all goes back to my New Years Resolution, being ORGANIZED! I do feel I have organized my life some what, but there are definitely somethings I have slacked on. My picture printing and filling the empty albums I desire to have. We have managed to go through a lot of stuff and toss it as we're packing, so I do consider this part of my organizing. So my thoughts for this move will be organized packing!
I have also enjoyed packing up all of my pictures. Looking at our wedding pictures and Jackson's baby pictures bring back such great memories. I also can't believe that Jeff and I will be married 5 years this October. It really seems like we just got married after looking at all of our pictures. I am so blessed to have married my high school sweet heart and my very best friend!
Now, the rest of the house is another story!
I wish packing the rest would be like packing my pictures!
I know this is a random post, but what the hell! That's why it's called blogging!

We Are Moving

Today we finally decided on a house to move in to! Cecilia and I went walking this morning from 8:30 to 10 o'clock trying to find houses that are basically up to our standards! LOL While we were doing so, Jeff was driving around doing the same. The funny part is that I didn't know he was looking and vise verse! So we ran in to each other and found one!
Cecilia is a friend I have been bike riding with and our boys are in the same class at the CDC. Well, to make a long story short, she is taking the house next to us, so we are going to be neighbors!
Our house is pretty much around the block from us! We will have the updated kitchen cabinets, beige painted walls and all the tile is now white. I will post pictures when we move in!
We move in August 7th, so it is very soon!

Dates...

As most of you know, CAFB is doing some renovations around our neck of the woods. We received a 30 day notice on Thursday telling us that we have to move out and to be quite frank, we aren't to happy about it. Jeff graduates September 4th and we will be moving from Mississippi to Phoenix in December. We have decided that we will pack up the house and only unpack what we need. I will do a separate post on the moving situation!
Why am I telling you this? Since receiving the 30 day notice, Jeff and I have been questioning our future as far as schooling dates and over all dates for the next year on active duty orders. Jeff contacted his unit on Friday to see if they had any news for him and they said they would try to have something for him by Monday. They left a message last night giving us Jeff's IFF dates and the dates of when his next class is to start in Phoenix. We haven't gotten any information or dates as to when he will attend Water Survival School. (5 days long)
So here are Jeff's class dates!
Combat Survival Training: 14 September to 2 October (Washington State)
IFF: 16 October to 21 December here in Columbus
Phoenix: 15 January to 20 October
We will let you all know what we decide to do on the dates in between and if we will be able to come home. As of now were are just trying to figure out where they are going to move us and packing!
I hope I answered some questions as far as when and where we will be going. People keep asking and so do we. So that's all we know for now.......

What the..........

This is the most random post ever and who would of thought we would be posting about ceiling fans. Well, we are! God forbid we live in a normal well put together house, these kind of things probably wouldn't happen.

So let me tell you about our little episode this morning at about 4 a.m. We were sound asleep and out of no were our ceiling fan falls and lands on my foot and then falls to the ground. What the..... was what came out of Jeff's mouth and he hadn't even realize what had happen. He thought lightning had struck the house and broke the window. So he jumps up and says the ceiling fan is on the floor. I already knew that, that's the first thing my eyes looked at after it crashed on to my feet. So he gets up and takes a look and finds that nothings broken, so we left it to clean up this morning.

Oh, and by the way it did hurt after landing on my foot. I told Jeff that to bad one of us wasn't standing under it when it fell. We could have totally made some money! LOL

So here is the attachment in the ceiling

Here is our beautiful ceiling fan on the floor

We layed in bed this morning well after the sun came up. Jeff's adrenaline was going and I was hungry! Jackson was of course in our bed and it didn't even bother him! Luck guy!

What Was He Thinking?

Sooooooo, yesterday started out like any other day in the Blaufuss home. We got up ate breakfast, went for a bike ride (13.75 miles) and we came home to shower and run some errands. Well, Mr. Jackson decided to flood the kitchen counter and spray the wall with the sink sprayer. He also likes to fill one glass up and empty it into another. He finds great pleasure in the small things in life!

Yeah, right!

So here he is playing in the water

Here he is after I caught him and the water is running off the counter and down to the floor

He managed to get Bella's dog food bag and feed her. Don't ask how much the poor dog ate, but it was in her water bowl. So she had some mush for her second breakfast yesterday!

I'm surprised she didn't throw it all up!

I didn't get a picture of the dish soap he smeared all over the ottoman in the living room. This kid was on a rampage yesterday and it was all while I was in the shower! Oh, and not to mention that he escaped and slipped right passed Jeff yesterday and decided to ride his bike out in to the road. Jeff was putting a water bottle holder on my bike and said he didn't ever hear or see him come outside. So all I could say to Jeff yesterday was "what was he thinking?"
It's like they get something in their little brain and a compulsion comes out and they can't be stopped. Well, at least not while your in the shower!

Still Here

Just wanted to let you all know that we are still here and not much is new. Jeff is cross country this weekend and is headed to Dallas. So it's just Jackson and I this weekend! I have some things planned and hopefully they workout. I want to take Jackson to see the New Ice Age movie, but might have to drive 30 minute to see it in 2D instead of 3D. We will see how that goes and we will pretty much spend most of our time in the water.
I will have Jeff write about his weekend when he gets back!
