Moving...Again

It wouldn't be a typical military move without lots of last minute surprises and craziness. After waiting for about a month for our orders to arrive, they finally did with only 10 days for us to prepare for our move. Yikes!! We had to call and arrange for the movers to come, organize our stuff for them to pack, get rid of last minute stuff we didn't want to keep, have Tiara checked out at the vet so that we could arrange her flight home, get the Bahraini vet certificate for her to leave the country, set up a meeting with our property manager for our villa inspection, get Tyler's school record prepared, etc etc. It was an extremely busy 10 days. On top of that, I had to make preparations to close my cake business and do my last orders, including Steve's retirement cake (saved this for my very last order as I thought this was very appropriate way to end things in Bahrain). Amazingly enough we got it all done without too many hiccups in between, along with saying goodbye to our dear friends we were leaving behind.
