Why did we live so far from base?

But really we don't live that far. 25 or so minutes..but it feels so far. I guess it is my lack of sleep that is making me think it is SO far. I think I just hate driving! I use to love it, and now lately I just hate driving. Well maybe if I was driving to have lunch with my friends or something totally like that, I would be a bit more excited. The commissary and basketball practice. Yea not really motivating me. I almost let Traysea skip practice today because I was just not motivated to drive. Thank goodness she wouldn't let me! I mean..when ryan actually starts living here and his boat is actually in this part of the world...he will have to make that drive twice a day. So just why am I complaining? I am pretty sure I was the one that picked out this house. I think I was the one with the final say that didn't want to live at Laurel Island. I wanted the beach at my doorstep and the huge backyard. Oh wait yes..that was me. So almost everyday this week I have made the drive from FL to GA. Tuesday, I made it twice. Sigh....tomorrow..I will make it again! Luckily my Saturday or Sunday plans, as of yet, do not include a trip to Kings Bay. Again, I am not complaining! Really I am not...how can I..when I can do this

in the middle of december. Or really anytime I think I want to. Cause the beach is just eight minutes from me.

Maybe I need to just focus on the positives about why we live in Florida. I know we choose Florida cause two of my besties were moving here. And one will be here at the end of the month. Of course he gets here, when we are in Chicago..but no worries. Then the other family will be here I think in February. Love it. Then my nieces will be here in July. I can't imagine what it is like to only live thirty minutes from family again! I am SO excited! Then my besties brother lives in Pensacola. Florida residence Disney passes! I mean..my life is perfect right???

Okay it's not helping..maybe I just a need an over all..random positives...right Misty...

We felt that way when we were in SC. We were about 30 minutes from the base and it was a PITA to go up there for any reason.

There are positives about being where you are. For instance...TARGET! lol

Soooo....you're coming to base and all that? You do realize you can text/call and might have someone to hang out with and all that? I'm just saying.....

I'm so glad your mom is better now that your gram is in a different location. I know it was super hard on my aunt that took care of my gram with her alzheimers and had to find a good place for her. I'm going home on Tuesday for 10 days all by myself. I get to see Penny!!! And my mom!!!! It just can't get much better.

Hey there girl! I am so jealous of the footsies in the sand. I wish I was a little closer. I feel like you do about driving to the base. Miss you and hope I can hang once bro gets settled in Mayport.

hey
we are all super sick right now, not to mention the kids have a ton of work to catch up on. So we will not be doing too much anytime soon. Being sick and having your house full of boxes is so not fun. I'll let you know when things slow down and get normal for the girls to hang out.
