1. New friends.

2. Jacey enjoyed her first week at school and seems to like her main teacher (GATE doesn’t begin until September 13th).

3. iPhones aren’t permanently rendered useless when they get overheated. Just useless for about 10 minutes…LOL!

4. Bryan bought me the clock for the dining room I have been eyeing in “mommy’s happy store” (what Jacey calls Target) for the last 2 years. And it was on sale, half off!

5. Date days with Bryan while J is in school.

1. Jacey’s new 3rd grade teacher seems great and does individualized instruction. Jacey also doesn’t have to take any new tests here in NV for the GATE program (gifted and talented) and the GATE teacher is awesome (their end of year field trip is to Orlando, pending district approval). I feel really relieved about this year, since I was worried out of my mind based on Clark County schools reputations.

2. I met some really great ladies at PWOC Tuesday and am getting together with some tonight. I may not be friendless in Vegas forever :).

3. Naps, because it is about the only sleep I am getting.

4. New workout clothes, so I can get back on track Monday when school starts.

5. Bryan. He dealt with USAA when we found out they FEDEX’ed our mortgage documents to Florida, even though we have told them the new address 4 times AND it is printed on the documents as our mailing address. It would not have been a pretty picture if I would have had to deal with them.

1. Jacey is all registered for school and we meet her teacher next week.

2. We have a fully executed contract on the house and the mortgage process is moving along smoothly.

3. We are out of TLF. The cottages aren’t the greatest, but at least I have more than 6 inches of counter space in the kitchen and Jacey has her own room again.

4. Jacey found new bedding for her room that she loves AND it was on clearance!

5. Having enough of a cushion in the checking account that when the AF Inns locks up $1200 of our money with a mess up that we aren’t stressed and overdrawn.

1. We got a spot in one of the cottages on main base and get out of this nasty TLF in 5 days.

2. Everything with the new house is moving along, surprisingly quickly for a foreclosure.

3. Dry heat..yes, I am grateful for the 123 I walked out to in my truck today…LOL!

4. I am learning my way around and think in a few more weeks I won’t need to rely on the GPS anymore.

5. Did I mention that we get out of TLF in 5 days?!

1. We are three steps closer (offer, counter, acceptance of counter) to owning our own home and better yet, not being homeless anymore ;).

2. The pool on Nellis has free admission, all summer. Better than Eglin’s $6 per day.

3. Bryan and I get a date night tomorrow night while Jacey goes to Parent’s Night Out at the youth center.

4. I had my first appointment at the hospital here and the doc didn’t give me any grief putting all my million referrals in the computer.

5. Dry heat.

1. We made it to Vegas, safe and sound, the only casualty was Bryan’s windshield…even the frogs made it alive and well :).

2. In 1 hour and 31 minutes, I will have been married to my best friend for 11 years.

3. I officially live in a city again!

4. My husband and daughter who have put up with my exhaustion that turns into a short-temper with immense grace all week.

5. Did I mention that we made it to Vegas, which means…NO MORE DRIVING!

1. All of our obligations in Florida are taken care of and we are ready to go.

2. The financial security to be taking the home buying plunge.

3. People that love my daughter unconditionally and make her feel really special.

4. Everything for this PCS, minus the TMO mess up has gone so smoothly it is almost scary :).

5. 1 day and 7 hours till we are on the road to Vegas.
