Maxwell AFB

Okay okay. I'm about to reach my limit on bad luck. So just when we're getting settled into our extended stay place, Ben's commander says we definitely have to move on base. Apparently it's totally unheard of for a student at ASBC to live off base. The girl who told us it was okay was new and obviously wrong. Fantastic. So we found out all this on Wednesday and we had to move all our crap (again) on Thursday. It was crazy. Unbelievable.

On a positive note, Ben's program is super aware of the spouses and there's a whole program just for us! The flight commander's wife put together this whole list of activities throughout the 6 weeks we're here. So nice, huh? Last night we went to our very own briefing and a meet & mingle. And this morning I went to a spouses brunch. Made a few friends, had some tasty food. It was fun!

So because of this new housing change, we had to find a new place for Lillie. No pets allowed. She spent last night in a local kennel (it's so nice!) but keeping her there the whole time is super expensive (like $850!). Fortunately Ben's aunt and uncle agreed to keep her for us. So we're driving up to their house in northeastern Mississippi tonight and staying the weekend. I'll have to put some pic of their place... it's so great! They have like 3 little lakes on their property and horses and everything. I'm gonna go fishing off the paddle boat. :) So I guess Lillie really is going to live in the country for a while. Ha ha! Later!
