WHOA THIS GOT REALLY LONG.
I know a lot of you figured it out by now, but the other party involved has been informed, so the top secret plots are no longer top secret.
We! Are! Moving!
It's kind of unbelievable, really, that something is actually working out for us with regards to our living situation.
Long, boring details, please skip if you're not into long boring details, I'll put some stars where the boring details end::
Normally, only married couples can live in on base housing. Since we plan on putting in to PCS overseas after we get married, we planned to move into base housing after the wedding to avoid leasing or renting somewhere we were just going to leave. That isn't until October, though, and every day, because of our current living situation, that seemed farther and farther and farther away.
So recently, the comapny that runs the base housing here decided they were going to allow single airmen to move into base housing, to fill up their empty spots. Buddy got really excited about that, until he realized that I am a total rule-stickler, and wouldn't live in base housing without permission - I can't get on and off base, etc, without a pass, which I can't have until we're married. Then he managed to work some magic where I have to go through a background check and stuff and his 1st sgt is writing a memo for me after he meets me, so I can have a year long pass to go on and off base and live there.
So he applied, we were immediately accepted, and we're #12 on the waiting list. 3 or 4 people above us have already been offered houses and 3 or 4 more people above us don't want to move until april, may, june or even later. The company is having houses renovated, and they're becoming available, fresh from renovations, 10 every month. So we'll be offered a house, guaranteed, in the beginning of Feb, with 30 days to take possession, so we're moving in March.
Also, since we're moving into base housing, we'll do a DITY move, and end up actually making money on the move.
**** boring crap over!*****
The news, as you'd expect, did not go over well. Threats involving Brinkley-theft were made. The situation seems to be okay for now, but there's no way it's going to go smoothly with our roommate. We're giving enough notice, though, that she will have until mid-April to find someone to be her roommate. Which is more than fair, really, though she doesn't see it that way. However, there's nothing that can be done to change it.
CN: MOVING. HOORAY.
On bed rest since Groundhog's Day and every day since has been exactly the same.
