Army life can BITE BAD!

So I guess April is not going to be another GREAT month like March. Derrek found out today that when he is released from Aberdeen (where he is at for school right now) on Wednesday or Thursday we have 15 days to get to Fort Bliss. Orginally his orders said the 10th of June. Do not ask me questions on how and why they did this but they did. It is the Army so you can not ask many questions and they do not give many answers. So our ENTIRE plans changed!

Stupid me did not get insurance on his plane ticket for Wednesday so....they gave us a credit through travelocity (where I bought his ticket) that has to be used in the next year under Derrek's name and the same airline. So there goes that $150 till a later date. So I bought a ticket for $180 to Ronald Raegan Airport for Wednesday. And got a rental car. We will sight see and hang out until Sunday. Then Sunday we will go to the Poconos for our honeymoon trip....thankfully we were able to change the date we had set for May to this coming Sunday. No difference in price or room or anything. So that worked out. Now I need to find plane tickets back to CO from PA next Saturday and we will be home for only a few days then on our way to Bliss.

I am thankful that most of it worked out with the honeymoon trip and all. Thank god i saved ALL our tax money for this trip, because we will be using it ALL. So we are forking out more money with extra plane tickets, hotel and car rental but sometimes you have to enjoy time and not worry about money. I am obviously overwhelmed and stressed as this was not the plan and I can not imagine having to leave by the end of this month. So stress is the apartment hunting and such goes up. But I will try and take it day by day.

Well gotta get some homework done and then start packing as I leave Wednesday morning!

XOXO,
Megs

It's so crazy to me how they can just change things like that so quick! At least they gave you 15 days notice, right? Ha! Let me know if I can help out with anything at all!
