update 2

Yay! We finally got our orders from the Army. Turns out they had them since Friday but nobody told us! It just sat in the pile of papers on someones desk while we asked for them eveyday. Oh well. Ben has cleared a lot of the interArmy agencies today. there are a few we have to do last minute. We are going to have the movers come on the 25th and 26th, clean up the house the 27th and leave on the 28th. We are making the trip long so we can stop along the way and won't have to push ourselves. We are stopping at one of my brothers houses and both our parents houses. And of course, anywhere along the way we see that is cool. So thats the latest. See you in Hawaii!! aloha

update

So our current status is unknown. It takes Orders to move to Hawaii and those we don't have. Then you have to take those orders to the transportation office and a few other offices before you can leave. The transportation office needs time to arrange the movers to come to the house, etc. Because of all this, we aren't going anywhere as of yet. We are playing a waiting game now. Hopefully this week we'll get the orders. Then we are hoping the transportation office can set up the movers to come within the week or next week. If not, we are going to defer the orders so that Ben doesn't have to report in HI until the 10th of December (instead of November). If that is the case, we'll be in NY a while longer. :(
We are driving our two cars across the coutry to sell one to Bens parents in Utah. Then on to Seattle to drop off the car and fly to the island.
I vote for leaving now due to the nasty weather here. It's been windy, cold and rainy. Halloween here will be a bust for sure, like it always is in Northern NY on the last day of October. That is usually the day of the first snow fall. Oh well. WE'll survive. I'll be gone for a while after we move, gone until we get the internet up in Hawaii that is. So for now, this is farwell. I'll see you on the flip side. wish us luck!

So we are still looking for a perminant home for our dog Joey. Unfortunately we've had no luck. The kids are super excited to move to Hawaii. Ben and I are a little stressed about all we have to do before we get there but we do have help packing and moving the boxes.

Interesting fact for today: a baby in miami, FL was born after 21 weeks weighing only 10 ounces and measuring just a bit taller than a ballpoint pen!
