Decisions Made

I just did the math and our utility allowance actually covers our phone and cable etc..which I don't think we get on base..and the housing allowance does seem to change with the exchange rate..so we make more living off base..I don't really miss having an American Washer and Dryer and I only miss a garden when the boys are home and driving me nuts..but most of the year they couldn't even use it because of rain and it getting dark etc. And I don't think it is fair to make the younger boys change schools..the only thing that is a true problem is the parking...if we could figure out something to do to fix the parking...that's all we need...I don't think I can face moving again and uprooting the little kids...I might regret it with time but I am not going to even look at the base house. I am happy where I am and we will get settled in and used to things before long, plus I will have to get a job either way so I might as well live in the house I love!
