Moving plans

Well I have finally decided to get my own place here in town. I have confirmation that I will be in town for at least a year and it is coming around to needing this change. That being said - I hate boxing up and moving. I did it so much as I was growing up that there is a real anxiety to it. And yet I don't mind being a gypsy. I think my issue currently is that this is not a move for work (as have been my previous moves) but this is a move for me personally. I feel like I have done some of what I needed to do over the last three years but am now stagnating. Living under a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that makes the military's policy seem like a cake walk has finally started to take it's toll. Don't get me wrong, I have loved being with family and do not have a problem with being respectful and honoring the "traditional values" of my home environment. I also will concede that I have pushed some of these boundaries a time or two.

But now the lease is signed and the first month rent paid. I pick up the keys tomorrow and will begin the moving process. My dear friend PD has made it very clear that she is available to assist me on Friday for which I am very grateful. I am taking an approach to this move that should allow me to try and do this gradually versus all at once. We will see how the week and the holiday weekend (plus taking Friday off) will impact this move. It may go faster then I suppose.

Must follow up with my friends about getting their extra washer and dryer...
