The Big Move

I REALLY need to be much better about keeping up with this blog. Random posts here and there are just not going to cut it. I will be better. Exciting news to report, we are moving. And so after more than 5 years in Washington, the Polizzotti Fam is on the cusp of a new journey! So much has transpired this past year, and with the Holiday season and New Year in sight, what better time to catch up! So, before I get going, let me cover briefly what I missed...First, we found out that David was picked to command a battalion. This is an amazing accomplishment! Due to certain changes, we didn't find out where he was going to command until much later in the year. Next, we got a puppy this past April. Meet Stryker, our now 9 month old German Shepherd. Tank and Sophie are getting up in years, and having health problems, and we figured now would be the time to add a puppy into the mix so that when the time comes for them to cross the Rainbow Bridge, we will have a cold, wet, nose to comfort us. He's definitely made life interesting :)

We finally found out that David was going to command a battalion in Texas, and so the next chapter of our lives quickly opened! In fact, as I write, the hubby is at school, and comes home on the first day of packing. At this moment I'm a little afraid as I don't know quite how we will get this all accomplished between work, school, and getting ready to move across the country. Not to mention, we will be without a refrigerator for two days between it being loaded up and the housing office here replacing it with one of theirs. That will definitely put a cramp in the plan for healthy eating. 

In addition, our pack out is right smack in the middle of finals week for me. Also, due to the fact that our stuff gets picked up on the 18th, and we don't turn the house in until the 2nd of January, we will be living on air mattresses for a bit. David is quite excited by this idea...he keeps talking about a rustic Christmas with nothing but a tree in the house. I am not as excited by this idea, but I will give it a go. This should make for some very interesting blog entries ;) 

That said, there's lots of big things on the horizon in the coming weeks, hopefully this next year will begin on a very positive note, with us all in Texas in one piece!
