eight.one
On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say today ranked at about an 8.1! Here's my day:
I went to the gym to lift this morning, but I wasn't feeling that into it, so I only stayed about 30 minutes, then came home, read blogs, and got ready for work.
Went to work, which was kinda stale, but I actually got a lot accomplished and am not nearly as slammed as I have been the past 2 or 3 weeks. Jay called me about 1000 with the news that he was about to go pick up our orders! YAY!!
I left work at 1230 to grab some lunch before Jay and I went to the "Smooth Move" class at the Family Support Center. We got some good info about...having a smooth move! :) That got over at 3. Since I had taken leave for the whole afternoon, we took care of a few other things. Went to TMO and chose a date for our pack-out. (Meaning the day that the moving company will come and pack everything** in our house.) Probably 25 October...that'll be confirmed on the 4th when we go to the briefing.
ALSO, Jay got confirmation that his flight out has been booked. He'll be leaving on 4 November! Other good news, a shuttle will pick him up on base and take him to the airport in London and we don't have to pay for it! WHOO HOO!!
We've been looking into houses in San Antonio and have found several that look really nice for a very decent price. We filled out the application online for pre-approval for a mortgage...should find out about that in 24-48 hours. Also, we signed up for the MoversAdvantage program through USAA which gives us a real estate coordinator to help us out with the whole process. Needless to say, we are incredibly stoked/totally freaked out!!! :)
To celebrate, we went to Chile's for dinner. Yum.
And to top it off, tomorrow is Friday, jeans day!
**We heard a story today about a cat that apparently hid in a box and got shipped out with the family's household goods. Talk about dis-gus-ting!!

I am so excited for ya'll. You will like San Antonio. Justin and I love it. We visit every year. In fact, we were just down there for Alison's wedding. It is only about 4 1/2 hours from Dallas.
Sweet Deal BEAN!!! I am happier now just having read your blog! I wish y'all could have Thanksgiving with us, but alas, things seldom go as we hope! (like the fact that we don't get to move in until next week) What the heck though right. We love y'all and we'll be praying for you!!!
That's great Katie! And wow, an eight.one?? That's pretty high on your scale, I mean, isn't it really hard to rank high on your scale? Anyway, I'm happy for you. And I now know what it's like to want to wear jeans. I know, it's probalby weird to hear that from me- the dress finatic - but I've been wearing skirts and stuff to the preeschool partly because mom said I shouldn't wear jeans and partly because it just doesn't seem right since all the other grades of that school have to wear uniforms! At least I don't have to wear that. All that to say-- I was glad to get home and put on jeans today. :)
