Heather... long time no post. Sorry, I feel I haven't given support during these major transitions. I was in a little funk. Don't know why or what... just was.
BUT, I have followed along the best I could. AND, now caught up. Wow! You've got a lot going on! Major things! Exciting!!! Stressful, but exciting!
I get the questions from kids things! Sometimes I just need to say, "You know what, guys? I don't really know, but I'm trying to figure it out. The more peace I get, the sooner I will have an answer for you."
AND- I've got to say... Wonka and KML have got me thinking about the whole choice of men thing, too! Hmmmm....
Now, right on with Fort Drum! My uncle did reserves there. As I said, I have lots of family up in that direction. In fact, my aunt lives in Watertown.
And, Brook, my uncle lives in Binghamton. Plus... my best friend went to Binghamton! I went there for the weekend with her... what a time we had! Prob right around the time you were there.... small world!
Heather, yup, get ready to be an official NYer! Whoo hooo! Welcome!! And, look into the town you will be living in. Some offer grants for buying a house. It usually can take a long time, but if you applied now, maybe in a couple years you would be eligible for a grant towards a house. There are stipulations, usually. I know someone here has to live in the house for 10 years. But I have heard of some places which offer this. Look into it!
Good luck. I am excited to follow your journey. I think of you and pray things will work out. But I know with your spirit... it will work out. You will make it!
