Moving

Alright, what's next? Let's go with moving cause that can be a small one.
We're officially moving on Feb 18/19/20. We were supposed go on March 1 but that wasn't working out with the Navy's plans so now it's in a week and 3 days. We're only going a few miles east and even staying in Aiea. Watch out for your letters and packages though! I'll have to e-mail out the new address or you can e-mail me. I'm not too keen on posting it in a public forum.

We're moving for a few reasons. The people in charge of this place are insane. They harrassed my neighbors so bad they broke their lease and moved out within months. They blame various ridiculous things on people simply because the old crogie board members claimed that person did it. The rules are so abnormal I'm afraid to put christmas lights out on the lanai in fear of a stupid fine. Every other month or so they send out a letter to EVERYONE IN THE COMPLEX saying there is oil on their parking stall and it must be cleaned or you'll get a fine. Basically extorting everyone. I'm leaking coolant slowly, but no oil. My friend has a BRAND NEW car and it sure as heck isn't leaking oil especially since we've both cleaned out stalls after the first warning and neither cars have leaked since yet strangely the warning has come again. It's ridiculous and we're fully annoyed with it.

Anyways, I have a friend living in one of the Navy Base Housing units. Unlike all the others this one doesn't use up all the BAH (Basic Housing Allowance) that the Military gives. If you live in base housing they bypass giving you the BAH entirely and you just get the house. This one is considered substandard, but it suits our desires so we don't have a problem with it; however since it's considered "substandard" they have it at a flat rate of $1700 including utilities, woo hoo! That's cheaper than what we pay now and we pay all utilities except water. It's very exciting. It's two bedroom instead of three, but two stories. It's a townhouse, basically and it has a yard and a parking spot with an area for 2nd parking spots (just not reserved). There's a DISHWASHER, washer and dryer in a separate room (Cat ROOM!!), and a GAS stove! Woo hoo! I'm very excited. There's no carpeting so it seems rather cold and emotionless, but that's what decorating and rugs are for so I can cheer it up. There is also a ton of storage space. There's an outdoor storage section, shelves in nearly all the walls, a ginormous walk in closet that people often use as a nursery, and a big storage closet under the stairs. It's pretty exciting. I'm often feeling as though I could use more storage.

So anyway, we are moving in two weekends. Fun fun.
