Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

The good, the bad and the ugly...

Well, first the ugly..... Our retirement plans ground to a halt the other day when it was discovered that the red tape jungle had held up our paperwork too long to keep moving forward. So now we must start over again.

The bad.... Our move will be pushed back about 7 months.

The good.... The Obama administration has pushed through a change in policy that should keep us from getting stop lossed with this delay. Without that we would be looking at two more years and another deployment.


We are coming to terms with our changed situation and thankful it isn't worse than it is. Our focus now is on our new plan, and looking forward to retiring and moving the end of March.
