We are officially in the midst of our first PCS together, and so far, it’s been nothing short of interesting. I’d say it’s also been entertaining, but that’s mostly due to the fact that I know we will look back a few years from now and have that “remember when…” moment.

We decided that it would be “fun” to do a DITY move this time (though, let it be noted that this was the first and ONLY DITY move we will be doing) and it’s been more work than I thought it would be. (My husband would also like for it to be noted that he “knew what he was doing”…) There’s a reason they give you the option to have other people move you…you know, those professional people…who know what they’re doing. I think we will be friends with them for the next move.

We also made this move with two cats in tow. The four of us in a Penske truck cab was just a little more than either of us bargained for. We made it though (good thing my husband loves them…though he would never admit it to anyone), and since we’ve arrived, my heart has been nothing but full and happy. I’m finally with my Marine and life is good.
