After 2,850+ miles, 17 days, 9 states, 6 beds (in 5 different states), and 1 car accident, we are finally home! First off, the accident was nothing huge, we are all fine. We were rear-ended driving through Dallas yesterday on our last day of traveling. The bumper will need to be replaced, but that seems to be the extent of the damage. We'll know for sure once we take it in to the body shop Monday. Thank heavens for seat belts and car insurance!
It was so great to see all the family and friends and make many family memories, but there's nothing like sacking out on your own couch and sleeping in your own bed! Even Clara seems quite happy to be back home. Our usually cheerful little munchkin has been even more playful and giggly today.
After Detroit, we drove down to Ft. Knox, KY to scope out housing for our move there this fall and spend some time visiting with my cousin Michelle and her family. It's a good thing we went because we quickly learned that there is basically no rental market in the Knox area. And on-post housing will be hard to get. It really doesn't make any sense, we know, but after 3 days of researching, driving, and looking at homes we found nothing suitable within our budget. The base and the surrounding community are clearly not ready for 3,000+ soldiers and their families to invade the area! Looks like we'll be looking into purchasing the home. And, if we aren't there very long, we can always rent it out, there is obviously a need for it!
Until next time. xoxoxox
