Once my Papa bear comes home from this deployment he has just about a year left with this enlistment. He is getting out and we are going to be moving towards Charlotte, NC. I want to just skip to the part where we move to Charlotte.
First of all, I hate the moving process. Secondly, I just want to be settled and not feel like a nomad anymore. I hate living somewhere I know I will only be for a short time. I just never feel settled and completely unpacking is out of the question.
I want to be in the part of our lives where I have my family with me every night. Where we can make our house our home and finally feel settled. I want to be able to make plans and know that we can keep them. I want dinner at the same time every night and family time without worrying about trainings or deployments.
I want to really take the time to get to know our neighbors because we will be living next to them for longer than a year at a time.
I just want my family, no strings attached.

Yes, I have wished the same things, but from a different perspective. You and I are at totally opposite sides of the spectrum.
How you're feeling is not uncommon at all. I'm the odd ball who wishes that I did still move around every year. Because I can't right now, I rearrange furniture like it's my job. I hate being in the same spot for more than 6 months at a time. Been like that since I was little. I get bored easily. I always want to travel.
I travel light, so there's not much to unpack. Every few months I go through my house and throw stuff in the trash just because it's just "stuff" to me.
I actually love being a nomad. It's not for everyone, though, and that's ok. :) Every time I am irritated over my situation a lot, that country song "You're Gonna Miss This" runs through my mind.
I have found that even though my husband's last deployment was in 2007, we don't eat dinner the same time every night, and no matter how many plans we make, things still come up. That's just life. Non-exclusive to the military. And I know my neighbors. Sometimes I wish I didn't. There are 5 crack houses around my house. Yippee. lol
I'm like that too. I always do huge clean outs of my things. I love to rearrange and change things around. And I love traveling. But I want a home that I can rearrange or buy new furniture specifically for that home. Or be able to paint or demo and redesign. I still need that foundation to keep that free spirit grounded a little.
hey, thanks for the comment...but honestly i use to put "thought" and then i got to thinking that i dont ever spell it out so i decided not to change myself for people reading my blog. i debated in my head about it and just decided to type it how i always do in texts and everything. im sorry it annoys you, but i promise my grammar doesnt suck that bad lol. im just lazy and dont feel like spelling it out lol. just didnt want you to think i dont know how to spell or anything. but i will do my best to catch myself, i have honestly gotten so use to typing it like that i dont realize i do it lol. have a great day, and thanks for being honest...promise im not mad of offended lol :)
