(sigh) Sighing seems to have become a regular part of my life lately. A sign of my discontent?.. maybe. Or maybe it is just an indication that I have accepted the fact that I am not in control of my life.
We've been in Hawaii a little over two months now, and last week attended a housing demolition meeting. Our little section of Ghetto-dise is slated to be demolished and must be empty no later than October 2010. At this meeting, we were told that there are 78 new homes nearing completion on Ft. Shafter, just up the way a little bit, with the first of the new homes being available for occupancy as early as November (next month). These 78 homes should be occupied by the first few weeks/months of next year. In determining priority, the housing office has decided (wisely) that it is important to keep continuity for kids in the Middle Schools and High Schools, so families with children in Moanalua Middle, and Moanalua High, will have priority for these new homes. We have one in each school. (sigh) There is another meeting on Monday with more details and possibly a more specific timeline. Here's my understanding so far...
We will be moving sometime in the next 3 months.
Cons:
- leave fantastic neighbors
- we live in a great location with proximity to swim team, schools, Target, base shopping, etc. Moving will put us farther away
- car-pooling will be way messed up!
- change wards
- B & little D will have to change schools
- I HAVE TO MOVE AGAIN!
Pros:
- brand new, bigger house with a garage
- if all MS and HS kids are priority, then A & Z will have lots of friends in the neighborhood
- did I mention new, and bigger house?
- the sooner we move, the longer we get to stay in the new house before we have to move again.
Well, there you have it... at least for now. I'll update again after Monday's meeting. (sigh)
