Now that orders have been cut and decision have been made we have reached a time during the military spouse's PSCing that I like to call the in-between. See this happens to be one of the many things in the military that the spouse has little power over. I'm not the active duty member so I can't call up movers or file any of the paper work. I can't call to set up any dates or organize any out processing. In fact about the only thing i do have power over is the picking out a house, packing, and then physically moving the items myself. There's just one problem...okay two. It's too early to start talking about houses. Too early to pack, order, or even remotely start to plan, and then there's this little bitty problem of the fact that most of my house is on a whole other continent. So, well there just ain't much for me to do here. Instead I sort of just have to wait. It's like knowing you're going on a big trip to a place you've never been only you're not allowed to know any of the details for six more months, most of which you won't even know until you step off the plane. This in-between time is the worse moment for me. I hate....I HATE not knowing. I'm a planner. I'm a "lets think this through" type of gal, and well in the military there just ain't a lot of thinking through......I know sort of sounds odd right? Like you would think the military would be all about thinking things through and working out the details of stuff right?

Well that's a whole other blog post right there. I think I'll just settle down here in the in-between for awhile before I touch that conversation.
