I’ve got seven days left in Virilion’s DC office and sixteen days left on the East Coast. I’m equally excited and terrified.
My excitement comes from living in a new home so far away from here, working from home full time, and becoming landlords. My terror comes from living in a new home so far away from here, working from home full time, and becoming landlords.
Actually, Nadia will be the landlady. I’ll still be a mooch.
This whole move and everything related to it is insanely expensive. When all is said and done, we will have spent just under $10,000. Luckily the Army is paying for moving the furniture, we’ve got some tax money to fall back on, and some part of that will be reimbursed (hopefully). I’ve been getting a few questions about the move, so I thought I would list my answers here:
- We are moving because Nadia is now a 2nd Lieutenant and is being moved to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, CO.
- I can’t stay behind and let Nadia go to Ft. Carson alone.
- Nadia’s chances for deployment to the Middle East have gone up 200%.
- The government quarters we are staying in is smaller than this townhouse (one less floor).
- We will be renting the townhouse; if you are looking for a place near Baltimore, MD let us know.
- Our cats are coming with us.
- I am keeping my job and will be working remotely.
I am still in denial that you guys are leaving the East Coast, I guess it won’t set in until we are over at Arundel Mills and we mindlessly decide to visit you guys to only realize that you are no longer there. Happy to hear that the job is allowing you to work remotely, sad to hear you guys will be thousands of miles away.
Wow, I guess this is a big changing to your life…I wish you succes in the new place. We really love to read about Fort Carson and also your last days activity in East Coast.
