Trying to catch up!

I know, I know, I know...I'm Waaay behind! My husband, my mother, my Aunt Jean and my sister-in-law Pat...and many more have reminded me that I have not updated my blog in quiet sometime. SO much has happened and changed...I'll 'try' to catch you up.....

We have a family in our house in MO who are doing a lease/purchase. It's not want we wanted... but better than what we had. The plan is that they will purchase the house within 2 years. (pros and cons...the sooner the better)

For a while, Larry was at Ft. Riley and I was at the house in Warrensburg. He came home on weekends, I went to Riley or we were simply apart. We were SO tired of being in hotel after hotel...sometimes for a few days at the time and sometimes a week (plus) at a time. A friend of his had an apartment and offered him a place to sleep...on an air mattress. Funny, yet sad. Larry had an air mattress in the living room and his friend had an air mattress in a bedroom. Nothing else... I sent a frying pan and a glass dish...his friend had a rice cooker and they called it "home". For Army guys...that's more than enough.

We did this from November to June and we both said...ENOUGH! We were sick of driving back and forth, sick of hotels, sick of being apart and sick of paying rent for a space for an air mattress and sick of...well, did I say being apart??? Yeah, being apart!

We decided to get an apartment and call it done! I went out on a search and decided on Quinton Point, a new apartment complex in JC. First floor and Molly friendly. They had a "Move in Special" and boom...it was ours!

To be continued..........
