Moving

We're finally getting the move to Toledo accomplished. We'll be moving April 13th and 14th so please excuse me if I'm not around as much over the next week or so (though this may be the only place that keeps me sane!)

Can't wait! Civilization here we come! A world where hi-speed internet exists, our beloved Detroit Red Wings are only an hour away, trips to the zoo that don't involve 9 hour round trip driving with kids in the car, snake shows, actual OMG malls, digital cable, and best of all...food delivered right to our door! Imagine that! *feels faint with the excitement of picking up a phone and having someone actually bring chinese food to my home*

LOL :hug: Have some Kung Pao for me! Congrats on the move, Jo...I'm so thrilled for you!!

Ohh I cant wait till you get here girl!!!! Keep my phone numbers handy just in case. ;) And if you need to take a break and gab, call me.

Yayyyy! Great to hear the good news! Beware though, once you have access to high speed internet, there is simply no going back! :carrot: :pinkele:

Yup....whenever the military moves us someplace else, one of the top requirements on the house-hunting checklist is high-speed. We won't even look at any that don't have access.

Goodluck on the move, and let us know you're okay!

In a few years I'll be doing that too...Justin(boyfriend) is going into the military and so I'll have to handle that. Military likes snakes, right? ^_^

Sounds like it's great news for you after ALL OF THE PRO'S listed...LOL:P Best of luck and be careful, pace yourselfs and have fun... Congrats!!!

So far as I know, there aren't any restrictions on owning snakes while living in military quarters....but I'm only speaking from AF experience, and I didn't actually own any during the years we would live on base. But "pets in glass tanks" aren't usually a problem.

That being said...if you're going to be a military family, you will, out of necessity, need to keep your collection relatively small. Imagine trying to pack up and move 10 or 20 reptiles (some of them very sensitive to environment changes) every couple of years? Sometimes with very short notice. And imagine never knowing what sort of house/apt you may live in next time, so you may not have an extra room...or even any extra space...for lots and lots of critters.

Just a little FYI from an experienced military spouse. ;)

Judy, you nailed it.:sweeet:

Don't forget Sonic, you wanted to try Sonic! LOL

I'm so happy for you, I know you've been wanting this move for some time now! Don't forget to give us updated contact information!!!

Broadband is an expected utility for us, just like phone, electricity, gas, etc...

Yay for the move! =D

Ugh. When I lived in Texas, we had one fifteen minutes away. I live in Richmond, Virginia now and there's one about...two hours away. -Cries.- I miss my coconut creme pie shake!

Hey, April 13th is my birthday!

Lol, good luck with the move. I've been moving every year for the past four, so I feel ya.

Oh yeah............ GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy you finally got that move date! I wish you the best of luck with the move. May everything arrive safetly and in one piece! ;) :gj:

Thanks for the best wishes all! We are really looking forward to the move for a ton of reasons. Beth can't wait to have a Sonic close by (which reminds me I need to mapquest the new address to the closest Sonic!)

Go Bucks???? Do you want Mike to die!!!! Go Michigan ALWAYS! :carrot:

It's only about 300 miles so not a huge move but still as with any move...really stressful. I'm kind of a tidy person (any of you say I'm like Monk...I'll smack ya! LOL) so all the boxes piled around is about driving me mad LOL. Oh well one more week of the craziness and at least I can order in a dang meal while we unpack the stuff at the other end.

Got all our plans down for the snakes and rats so they should travel just fine though the snakes will be missing their usual Thursday night feeding. Now as long as I don't lose (or accidentally pack) the super important "Everything I Need To Remember About This Move" folder I'll be fine! :D

My suggestion is don't ask, don't tell!!! (I was in the army) If you live on post the rules are getting strict. My neighbors found out I had burmese pythons when I lived on post, I was forced to get rid of them. At the time, there was no rules against them. My ex-wife used to brag about the snakes, the neighbor found out that was scared of snakes and reported me. So all I can say is "don't tell anyone"!!

Okay no one panic!!!! I googled Sonic and there doesn't appear to be one in Toledo - how will I break this to Beth????? On the upside there is a White Castle and 2 Tim Horton's! Hopefully that will appease her (how dare Sonic not have a dang franchise in Toledo!) Tim Hortons :tongue2:

Or you could come to MY house and there's a Sonic within walking distance! Eat the food and exercise it off! LOL;)

Oh Jo! I'm so thrilled for you! While I have never lived in outer Mongolia I once visited Christie in Camden, AK...let's just say I never visited again while she was there.


Good luck on the move and getting everyone safely there....oh yeah, and long live the lists! I commend you on your moving folder of organization and am slightly jealous you got to make such a folder!

Signed,

The highly anal, though somewhat frazzled by children at times list maker ;) :rolleye2:

best of luck with the move jo. yeah for high speed internet, cable and food delivery services! i never knew what those things were until i moved from my teeny little virginia mountain town where i grew up to go to school so i feel your excitement! as for sonic, you should take a road trip here over the summer while robin is at tybee and then we can all go to sonic together! how many of them are in little savannah..2?..3? i'm not even sure. :P

Well I decided I best get a folder Wendy when I spent an hour arranging the moving truck and some temp storage for a few huge outdoor play equipment pieces...then proceeded to immediately lose my notes! They had confirmation numbers and contact numbers and ACK! Another hour wasted calling U-Haul back to get all the information again and who has an hour to waste! *huggles her folder which will keep her organized and semi-sane throughout the next week or so*

Oh just to drive my hubby nuts my moving folder is bright pink with a wierd cartoon siamese cat on it! hehehehehehehe Gotta find something funny to put a grin on my face even when I'm dealing with yet another stupid detail. :P

Sonic-schmonic...what you people are missing is IN-N-OUT!!!!

...And I am a high-priestess of the double-double, oh yes I am!

in-n-out?! that sounds like a low-class quickie joint. :omg: :P

Quit flaunting your LA joint that none of us can go to! :)

By the way, White Castle beats them all...

White Castle beats them all?! *HOOORK!*

Sorry to offend those that love WC. You either love them or hate them and I was definitely in the latter group. =)

In-N-Out is a California burger chain that is branching out a bit (for example, there's an In-N-Out in Vegas and there's some in AZ). Extremely simple menu: burger, cheeseburger, double cheese-double burger (i.e., double-double), fries, soft drink or shake. But all super fresh every day, everything made at each store locally. DE-LISH!

No Sonic's in Columbus, either! Sorry, Jo! The nearest one is pretty far south of here... looked it up on the map.

I could recommend some great places to eat here in the capital, though, for when you come to the show :)

Sheesh Wendy you must be frazzled. I lived in AR (Arkansas not AK Alaska or AL Alabama). :neener: I'll forgive you though. I'm just that kinda person. :D

I love lists!! Lists rock! :rockon:

Wow, congrats on the move! Hickville ain't for everyone (just people like me who hate people, lol.) ;)
