news

Please note the new link to Beau Powers' blog. You can see his lovely wife and three sweet children. They have moved back to the Continental US after being in Hawaii with the Coast Guard. Welcome back Powers family!


In other news, our house is under contract, we have a contract on a new house, and my husband is serving with the Coast Guard in Cuba. He was supposed to be back in time for the closings, but that has changed. This equals a new level of craziness for me. I never, ever knew there was so much involved with moving. Growing up the Navy always moved us, which, let me tell you, is the way to do it. My learning curve is straight up. And my only prayer lately is, "Oh God, help me." He says "Be anxious for nothing," and I say, "Really? I think you're going to have to help me on that one. That is tough."

Hi, Merrill--

My sympathies are with you for the move! My husband and I have moved more than 6 times in our less than 5 years of marriage. 3 of those moves were literally cross-country; 3 were local. (My brother, a JAG, has had the military move him all the time, also.)

My best suggestion is to grab a couple books/magazines from the library on moving, moving checklists, etc. There should also be some good web resources with lots of great ideas for streamlining/simplifying a move.

Hang in there--miss you and would love to see you sometime--(p.s.--come visit the DC area sometime soon!)
