Actually, ending Daylight Savings time murders light and sleep. I would so much rather keep daylight savings time all year long and save the daylight for night instead of morning. Wouldn't it be so much better if there were light outside from 7 to 7 instead of 6 to 6? Not only that, but Macy hasn't adjusted to the time change in spite of keeping her up late, so I'm up by 6:30 or 7:00 every day instead of 7:30 or 8:00. Which isn't pleasant. Here's a Macy-just-woke-up face for the occasion.
It was really a bummer of a week. First, almost all of our friends left us (Morgan, Wade, and Amy & Co.), so we're very bored and have to watch The Office alone. Then Daylight Savings Time happened and we got very little sleep in spite of it being the cool Fall Back one where you are supposed to get extra sleep. Then I finished reading the Anne of Green Gables series, which is a tragedy because I didn't want those stories to ever end. I finally read them for the first time and oh my gosh, if you haven't read them but even remotely like the movies you have to read them. I laughed, I cried, I read nonstop for a month. Yes, that's right. 8 books in about 3 weeks. My house and family have been severely neglected of late.
Happy news we heard today: WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!
We're going to live on base. We've been on the waiting list for months, but we couldn't reserve a house because you have to report (in person) at your new base before a house can actually be reserved. Well, they called today and they're going to hold one for us! There are some special circumstances and they want to get everything assigned because they have a short list of people on the waiting list. How cool is that? Here are more pics of the house.

Awesome house! Yeah daylight savings doesn't really work at our house with a baby and two dogs that don't understand. No fun.
Congratulations. That is a really nice place. My sister's husband is in the army and they have had such a hard time getting houses on base. And Anne of Green Gables is my favorite. I've read the series about 5 times. I could read Anne of Ingleside a million times and never get tired of it. It makes me want to be a mom just like Anne and name my home something cool like, well, Ingleside. And I liked your Dan in Real Life reference. Way to go. Now I want to go read Anne of Ingleside.
p.s.
Did you read Rilla of Rainbow Vale too? I put that one off for a long time because I wanted to stay true to Anne, but I finally did it and I loved it so much too. If you didn't include that one, you should.
love the house! that's fantastic. i don't mind our house here, but my goodness, your house looks so nice!
and yes, love anne of green gables. my family moved from texas to washington the week before my senior year of high school, and those books filled a lot of free time:)
So exciting!!!! The house looks pretty cool! That is awesome that it is landscaped too! Our yard is still sand with some grass! lol. Anne of Green Gables is an awesome classic! I haven't read all of them but it's my grandma's favorite series so she insisted that I have to finish them! :)
omg Megan! so we don't have internet on base and i just snuck into the library to catch up on things, and what good news! tell macy i miss her and congrats on the home. and amy left? i thought they were staying through thanksgiving? We're closing on Monday and moving in Wednesday!!
1. Dan in Real Life.
2. Where are you moving?
3. Macey is SOOOOO stinkin cute!
OOh! A house! This is nice. I'm with you on the roughness of the whole time change thing. Anne is makin' my time a little strange, too. And, it doesn't help that her room is FULL of light at 6 am instead of 7 or 8 now. Ug ug ug.
On the Anne of Green Gables, I'm right with you. It took me a while to actually read them (I waited till 10th grade for some reason) and they were FABULOUS! I agree with Cherie's comment about not wanting to diverge from Anne herself, but it's cool that she does actually grow up and that her daughter is such a cool girl. That whole letter from the brother at war makes me BAWL!
