I'm not sure if my stories compare to Jamie's lol but here goes

I had to get registered with tricare, deers and get my overseas clearence paper done all through Fort Dix b/c it's like an hour from my house. Well the first two things were done the first day i went up there last month but since Matt went back to Iraq they've been sending me in circles about my overseas clearence.
After WEEKS of them telling me that the wrong people had it and it wasnt' done yet, I FINALLY got the paper back today! I'm so happy b/c that means I'll have my date for moving soon!!! :dancin:

My friend Allie who is also an Army Wife jsut had a baby in April and she came home to visit so we've hung out twice and it's really nice to see her. They're stationed at Fort Stewart, GA so I dont' see her often. She invited me to come stay with her for a little while before I move too so I might take her up on the offer :)

I've been working A LOT lately which isn't really anything new

I still dont' have my Thank you cards out from the wedding yet :oops:

I'm in the process of looking for a new car and I've been doing some intensive searching for that, insurance, a phone plan, furniture and an apartment.

Other than that my family is crazy and driving me up a wall and I'm getting really excited to get out of here soon!

Mary I'm in the same boat as you - Insurance hunting, FINALLY getting registering with deers and eventually with tricare if they are worth it! I'm glad to see you're alive though :)

Lol thanks Lana
Oh and congrats on your wedding! I havn't been around much since then

If I wasn't moving to the furthest state away from me then things would be much easier lol

I just cant' wait to get my dates to leave. I'm bouncing off the walls just knowing that the paper work is all done

Ooooooh and I talked to matt and we're getting an extra 250 dollars next month for our BAH backpay! :dancin: I love extra money lol

Have you guys looked into USAA insurance? That is what we have for all of our vehicles and our house actually... pretty decent deal

Just so you know Lana when you enroll in deers you're automatically enrolled in tricare - for tricare standard though. Which is the PPO version, if you want the HMO you have to call tricare and have them switch you over to tricare prime! It's a LOT easier then it sounds!!

Mary, glad everything's going well and you have all your paper work in order! He'll be home before you know it!

Ahhh I lied! I put that we were getting an extra $250 next paycheck but it's actually $2500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!

We looked into USAA but they didn't approve Matt b/c he got 5 tickets our senior year and they won't be cleared until May 2010

I think we found a company though and i also think I found a cell phone company. Things are falling in place :)
