We finally have a post! Well techincally nothing is set in stone until he has physical paper orders, but as of right now we are going to Fort Drum. I'm very excited at the prospect of moving to where we will be at least for a little bit. There are of course a few concerns, Fort Drum is in upstate New York on the Canadian Border, near lake Ontario. Sounds great right. Can you say snow pretty much from end of September till end of April. We aren't talking a few inches we are talking FEET. The temp can easily drop down to 30 below zero. This is scary for those of us not good at driving in the snow. On top of the fact that our power bill will probably be a bazillion dollars a month. We are hoping for on post housing, but the wait list is large. The other problem is there are wait lists for the apartments near post as well. It sucks cause if you want to buy a house they are a great price, but if you want to rent the price is super high cause they know that people would rather rent than buy. Now the plus sides. We are like 3 hours from Toronto, Ottowa, and some other cool places. We will be only 6 hours from New York city, Boston, and Philadelphia and the summers are a lot like Seattle as they don't usually go over 80 degrees! So as with any place there is good and bad. Jaden will be in heavan because she loves the snow. We figure we can take the kids little swimming pool tie some rope on it and use it as a family sled lol. Let the adventure begin!
