Home Sweet (temporary) Home

I'm finally back! I've had a draft post saved since August about our last few weeks in Maryland, moving South, and our first few weeks in Georgia. As I procrastinated on posting it, the post got longer and longer. Now its at the point that I'm just going to delete the entire thing and give you bullet points of what has been going on in the life of the Reiffs...

• During our last few weeks in DC, we were lucky enough to visit the White House 3 times: July 4th Military Family BBQ with Brad Paisley, lunch in the White House Mess, and our departure photo with the President in the Oval Office. While I may not agree with Mr. Obama's policies, it was an honor to be invited to the White House and it will remain a cherished memory for years to come.
• I played in my fourth and final CAN softball tournament. We didn't do as well as we have in the past but we had a great time. There is absolutely no way to describe how lucky I am to have these people in my life. This tournament, and a missing glove (#SGRsGlove) prompted my joining Twitter.
• The movers came and packed up our house in Thurmont; after a few false starts. Once the moving truck drove away, I put my Romney sticker on my car and headed South. Steve followed me with Archie in tow.
• After visiting a few sketchy houses in less than desirable neighborhoods in Alabama, we settled on living in Georgia near Fort Benning. We had an interesting time trying to cram all the stuff from our 3 bedroom/2.5 bath house with garage and under the stair storage into a 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment. 
• Steve's busy with school and I'm spending my time hanging out with Archie, volunteering with the JL of Columbus, taking day trips to God's country (Auburn), taking a few exercise classes, and working on some DIY projects. Once Steve's new orders come through I'll start the housing/job search all over again!

Sorry, that was a lot of information coming at you all at once. Now that we're all settled, I'll update more frequently; with shorter posts.
