The Countdown begins


So I have been missing. Well not really, but I have been missing here.

I have been focusing on my shop and my home. Hubby is MIA and I am trying to keep sane while having a shop, the kids and life. If mom’s have one of those.

Over the next couple months, less then 90 days to be exact, I am picking up and PCSing to Oahu, Hawai’i. Alone. Three children and one dog.  I am really hoping to stay sane.  I will be sharing ways and tricks that I have learned along the way to make the move much smoother.

I have been very lucky in my eight years of marriage I have stayed in San Diego. I moved from Pensacola out to San Diego with my family 17 years ago. That is it.  I am using that knowledge and using it for this move as well.

Hawaii is not a “normal” PCS area. You have to do a lot of extra steps that you might not have to in other locations. Cars, housing wait list, pets, shipments you name it.


While everyone tells me that I am so lucky that I get to move to paradise it sure seems like a task. I am excited for the move to be over and done with and just get there.


So far I have my move date, my departure date, hotels set up and the dogs taken care of. In following posts I will elaborate on all of that. 

So here’s to blogging, sanity, a smooth move and awesome kiddos until we reach paradise
