We bought a house today in Lacey, Washington; I’m told the area is beautiful. I’ve
only seen pictures of it. (We did lock in a 3.275% rate-awesome!) I didn’t feel
like flying across the country in the middle of my classes, so I picked one
online. Most of my family thinks this is crazy; most of my military friends have
done it once or twice themselves.

| New house in Lacey, WA |
This is how I plan because of the military. We
bought a beautiful house in Whispering Pines, NC, because Yany was told, “buy a
house-you won’t be going anywhere but on missions, until you retire.” OK, cool…we
found a nice area, great schools, interest rates were awesome, done deal-found
our retirement house. Two years later
the same people tell Yany, “You’ve been here too long, time to move; expect to
move every 3 years.” I was surprised, but not overly so.
Next step, fight for orders to move, rent retirement
house and get ready to settle down for 3 years in Lacey, WA, for Yany’s job in
Ft. Lewis. Now the typical Army part: Because of the budget cuts, an Army
General announced today that some army brigades will be deactivating. Yup, you guessed it-Ft. Lewis is
on the hit list. Again, surprised, but not overly so.
So, we’ve decided that everything we want to do we
will do as soon as we can. If anyone wants to visit come quick, we have no idea
how long we will be there. Be sure to have a passport, Canada is not too far
away, eh?
