For all of you who don't know what has been going on, here is the recap:
We got orders to Hawaii, but they came back and told us that it cost too much money to move us there and that we couldn't go. The detailer then told Andy that he could put in for a "high cost" move to see if it would be approved. We were told to call back the second week of January and we did, but the papers are still being looked over (i.e. sitting somewhere on someone's desk). We were then told to call back in a week, which Andy did last night and again, there is no news. We were told that there is a slim chance that we will get approved for the high cost move, but here we sit, still waiting. I HATE to wait. I would just like to know YES or NO and get on with our lives. I wouldn't have such a problem with not knowing where we are going to spend the next 4 years of our lives, but now that Ethan is in school I need to research areas and get him in a good school BEFORE we move because he will have to go to school as soon as we arrive at this unknown destination. Not to mention I still have to apply to a university and get approved, transfer all my credits, etc. before the deadline for Fall Semester comes and goes. Oh and then there is the Mio issue. Since she is an "aggressive breed" we are unable to live on base with her. So, in a span of say a month, we have to find us a place off base in a good neighborhood with good schools that is relatively close to Andy's work and a university. I know that it is doable, but it is already giving me anxiety. I start to get super stressed out if I think about it too much. So, here I sit, packing all our stuff, so that I have at the very least SOMETHING in my control. Now all we can do is wait some more.....

How very frustrating! There are some things that never change and this is one. I guess it's the military letting you know who is in charge.
yes, i am so sorry to see them treating you like a "number"....but that must be how it is for everyone in the military. wish i could help with the stress factor....i know how you tend to get blotchy, and have cold sores, etc. so my advice is keep packing (it's therapeutic for people like us) and find your "happy place" by breathing, or drinking a glass of wine! HA...there ya go :) love ya!
BREATHE, Annabella..... don't forget to breathe!
