Well folks we made it!!! Our PCS is complete and it has been a whirlwind these last few weeks!! The last week in Clarksville was a great one! We soaked in lots of time with our good friends and spent lots of time getting the house ready for movers and new tenants. The moving process was a bit of a headache and we got behind schedule on our departure day. However, the nine days of travel went very well considering we were a family of five with a dog. Of course there were some meltdowns along the way and some minor mishaps but we were very lucky with our successful journey! Our stops along the way were a good break and we all slept well in the camper. Our days at the Grand Canyon were amazing. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. The kids did really well and were troopers with all of the walking. We walked several miles every day but the views on the trails were worth it! :)
We arrived in Sierra Vista on Saturday evening. Those two nights in a hotel were very welcomed. I was able to catch up on laundry and reorganize all our stuff. Monday morning we signed for our house and ran errands on Post. Our house on Post is very big and we are thankful to have so much room including 4 bedrooms but its a very old house with not much in the terms of updating. Trying to look on positive side and also remember its less than a year!! Another bonus is the neighborhood park is right behind our house :) We received our household goods on Wednesday which was a daunting process and left me feeling overwhelmed! We worked our tail feathers off most of the day and into the late evening getting everything in its place and organized and beds made.
Peighton started 1st grade on Thursday!! Her school is very nice and is only K-2nd. I was able to walk her to her classroom and meet her teacher and the teacher's aide. P had a good day on Thursday and Friday. Thursday we also had our cable and internet installed. I'll have to admit after not having cable for almost 2 years it is nice to have it again ;) Our new washer and dryer were delivered Friday morning. It was a happy morning!! After two weeks of doing laundry in hotels or at a campground, I was too ecstatic to have my own set right within my house!
The rest of the week and weekend we spent relaxing, organizing, decorating, making trips to the storage unit, making trips to Target, and making the house feel like home!!
