"Hubby 2.0" and I were pleased yesterday when we stopped by the house we are renting and on our way out the neighbor across the street introduced himself to us. He told us the area is nice and quite not a lot excitement and on Halloween night if we are at the house we might get 10 to 15 kids to trick or treat the house not bad. It was nice to see the neighbors taking a interest in who is moving into the empty house.
He forwarded us about his chestnut tree, large black, they could damage and stain the car if parked underneath. That was awful nice of him.

Furniture arrives tomorrow
I received a phone call from the driver of the moving company paid for by the Army to pack, load and deliver our furniture at about 1700 (5 pm for our non-military friends). We will have our furniture delivered tomorrow and then begins the real fun, unpacking and establishing a new house in a new neighborhood.

Posting again
I haven't posted in almost two months, but I am back now. I spent the last month diligently working on my phase I of my current military education class and have 6 classes left to complete. I was hoping to be completed by now but the past two weeks has been more hectic than I expected.
In preparation for our move to St. Louis "hubby 2.0" and I took Columbus day weekend and made a quick trip to St. Louis to look for a house. I have to praise God and give him thanks because we did find a place to live. So, the movers will pick up our furniture on Wednesday and be able to deliver it directly to the house in St. Peters, just west of St. Louis. I will have about a 20 to 30 minute drive into work but, we are paying less rent in St. Peters than we are here in Moon Township.
I worked my last weekend for the Army Reserve this past weekend. The best part about my new job is I am not required to work a weekend unless by exception.
This past week has been having lunches and saying see you later to friends. Friday was my last day a work.
Both 'hubby 2.0' and I have been sick, he earlier in the week and I today which makes getting ready to move so much fun (NOT).

Semester off from DBA course work
I'm happy to say the school has granted me permission to take a semester off, I don't start course work for the DBA again until Jan 08. I will use this semester to complete most if not all of my Intermediate Level Education (ILE) for the Army, the first half of the required course work for this round of military education. I will also move from Pittsburgh, PA to St. Louis, MO and start a new job all at the same time.
Yeah, a the next few months are going to be a whirl wind of activity to say the least.

Frustrations of setting up new computers
Most of our friends by now are aware 'hubby 2.0' and I had both of our 17" laptops stolen (or borrowed for an extended period, hubby's way of dealing with the issue) out of our hotel room this week. We fortunately have the savings to replace the laptops and our insurance company paid our claim within 4 days of us calling in the the loss.
Yesterday we spent most of the day trying to decide whether or not to replace the laptops with desktops or laptops again. We decided to get both desktops and laptops, the desktops we will use at home and keep all of our personal information on the desktops and the laptops for travel. I have at least two more years of traveling to Sarasota to complete the course work for the DBA.
Once we purchased the laptops late yesterday we have spent most of the evening yesterday and the day today trying to establish some since of normalcy to our lives by installing the necessary software and setting up the software to the way we like. It is hard to believe it can take so much time to re-establish your life with the convenience of items and systems you are use to. I have actually felt a sense of loss, I guess that is a bad thing but I'm not sure.
We get the pleasure of setting up computers again when the desktops arrive sometime next week, oh yeah.
Enough complaining, bye.

Steelers pre-season game
Last time I took "hubby 2.0" to the first pre-season game of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since, I'm not a sports fan I was not really interested in the game but, was fascinated with the fans. I was truly surprised by the number of fans at a pre-season game. The price of food was amazing as well $3.00 for a pretzel and $1.50 for a small tub of cheese to dip the pretzel.
I'm really glad "hubby 2.0" enjoyed himself.

Approaching the end of another class
Well, I'm currently in the middle of week 7 of my Global Challenges class, which will be my last class in the Argosy University Online DBA program. I have decided and transferred back to the Sarasota Campus of Argosy University. I now have to travel to Sarasota once a class for either three days or five days for a residency requirement. I realized I need to face to face contact with an instructor you get with in class set time.
I am also going try and take the first 7 1/2 weeks of the fall semester off so I can focus on my next level of military education. I have 12 months left to complete a series of papers and short answer questions in three phases, which if I had organized and been diligent I could have been finished with my first phase.
