Never, Ever, Ever....


This is the very first Never Ever Ever weekly link-up. 
I'm theming this one, making it all about my upcoming move! 
Some of these will be happening once we move though.

Never, Ever, Ever....

Have I eaten at In-N-Out. 

Have I lived in a state other than Missouri. 

Did I think I would be sad about selling a 15 year old, orange car. I love my SMX.


Have I driven in California traffic.

Would I think not having cable would be the better choice.

Have I driven across country by myself.

Have I been so excited to eat Mexican food!

Have I been so sad to leave a place.

MilitaryTownAdvisor.com and a Giveaway!

When your family gets orders to a new base, what is the first thing you do? Get online and check out as much as you can! This can prove to be difficult though. What sites are best? How do you know who to trust? 

This is where MilitaryTownAdvisor.com comes in. 


MilitaryTownAdvisor.com is a PCS relocation resource that allows military families to help other military families by writing reviews about military towns. The reviews consist of local areas, neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and condominiums. Due to the fact that the PCS relocation process in a military environment happens quickly, it can be extremely stressful. MilitaryTownAdvisor.com’s reviews help families make an informed decision on where to begin looking for a place to live that will fit with each family’s goals and lifestyle choices.

Thanks to MilitaryTownAdvisor.com, you have the chance to win a $100 Sephora Gift Card! 
Check our your lovely hosts below, go say hi to them, and enter to win!

I don't subscribe to any, but there are ones I read almost daily, like Jezebel.

As many trashy magazines or girly ones like Glamour as I can get!

I can't remember the last time I went to a summer concert. That's what happens when you don't live in America. I can remember quite a few from the 1999-2002 era, like N'Sync and Tim McGraw/Dixie Chicks.
