Oh my! Won't you be surprised how much junk you have collected?
LOL! I've actually already started cleaning out closets, etc., rather than waiting until we put the house on the market because I know it'll be a nightmare if I wait. AmVets is picking up 1/2 a garage full on Friday and that is just from one section of the basement!
When we moved here, I thought I had so much storage space and yet we've managed to fill it all!
I'm a very young military brat (20 yrs old). I didnt move as much as my fellow brats. I actually spent 12 years at Langley AFB and for the last two years could not wait to get out of there. It just got old. Now after 4 years here in NoVA i can't wait for my move to KY in 09. Hopefully, Louisville is a place that can be a place that i can put down some roots. So i hope that my hype for Louisville is more wanting to get out of NoVA and less wanting something new every few years.
After 4 HOURS in NoVA, I was ready to move. Counting the minutes....
I was an Army brat along with my brother and sister. Every two years we moved except when dad went to Vietnam (twice). Those times we moved after 12 months at a duty station. We did that until dad retired in 1971.
I enlisted in the Navy in 79 and got out in 86 finally settling down in 2000.
I have to say my feet do get a bit itchy from time to time though.
Tevili you are very normal! Traveling does open a new horizon and after I moved around during my school years K-12 and College as a military brat and as ex-military myself I always had the urge to move around for 2 reasons ... 1) I didn't know where was home anymore 2) I simply loved traveling ... however I realized several things, I do want to own a home, start a family within the next 2 years and hopping around place to place has never lead me close to that thus I am looking for a permanent place next year to call home and settle down. Good luck with everything, if you can keep traveling it's great, I envy you!
yup. i actually lived in the same state for nearly 10 years, but because the areas were so different, i satisfied my sick desire to torture myself by moving to a new area every 2-3 years. We live in Boston now and honestly, this is the first place that i haven't felt the innate desire to move. Do any of you have kids? For some reason, I feel that when we decide to start having little ones, I'll want to stay in the same place to have that experience of "our" house that I never got when I was growing up. It always makes me jealous when a few of my friends have this comfort zone that is "their" house. Their childhood home. "Their" yard, "their" room. I want that for my kids. Thank goodness Boston seems to be a place where I can settle.
Great!
For a while there I thought I had "geographic A.D.D." cuz I get really bored with the same place and people easily and am ready to leave within a year or two of having lived in the same place.
Or maybe this is the forum for the 12-step program to rid oneself of this crazy urge to always move.
I have moved 10 times in the past 11 years (even if it was just to different housing off-base or something like that).
I just bought a new house and I plan to stay in it for a while. I'm very excited to unpack some boxes that I haven't opened in years. They have photo albums and cards from my mom that I just can't bear to part with.
I'm sure in a few years I'll be ready to move again though!
Funny, I'm a Navy Brat and we never once had to move! Then I became a Marine Corps wife, we only moved 3 hours from home, hoping we'd get stationed somewhere far, never happened.
Now in my adult life, outside of military life, we have been moving about every 3 to 4 years for civilian job relos...too funny that the military never really moved us
