Tank Girlz weather commentary: It was 26 degrees when I went for a run this morning. But its turning into a typical beautiful sunny day in Lower Alabama. Which is nice because my doors are going to be open all day for the MOVERS!
SO here is the story. Two years ago LEGS graduated from Warrant Officer Candidate School. I came down to promote him. While I was here visiting, I went over to 'Manda's' house. The first thing I said when I walked into her home, was 'OMG! I love that table!'
She had this modern table, black in color, made of wood, it was triangular in shape, 2 bar stools, 1 bench, Leather pads, sits high. (pictures included- keep in mind they are not high quality because we are moving)
LEGS and I have been on the market for a kitchen table since 2006. For now we have a card table, with four cheap chairs. Last night we went to dinner with Manda, Bouf, and Asher. While we were exiting the restaurant this is what happened.
Bouf:' Those people haven't called me.'
Manda: 'Oh....'
ARMS: 'What people?'
Bouf: 'I am not supposed to tell you.'
ARMS: In my mind I am thinking this guy is bizarre.
ARMS and LEGS climb into the TANK after hugging goodbye.
LEGS:'I told Troy not to tell you this but, they are selling their kitchen table.'
ARMS: My mouth dropped to the floor of the TANK, while Manda and Bouf laughed at me from outside the car. 'OMG! I love that table!, how much are they selling it for!?!'
LEGS:'I don't know but I'll text Bouf and see.'
ARMS: In my mind I cannot believe our dream table is slipping through our hands! I just keep saying out loud, that table that table, that table, all the way home. 'LEGS can we get the table? I know we shouldn't be can we?'
LEGS:' Well.....it is a pretty unique table....'
Manda and Bouf, did not think we were serious, but they didn't know who they were messing with! They said they wished they could give it to us cheaper, so LEGS said, 'I am gonna pay what they other guy was going to.' Manda said she would rather we have it, and I felt like I had just won big on a game show and no.....it wasn't because I had a few margaritas.
Its really happening. All of our things have been wrapped, boxed, broke down, wrapped some more , and are right at this very moment being put in large wooden crates that are on a big truck to be driven to Atlanta and shipped to NEVER NEVER LAND.
Then they put the boxes in a truck and fit everything in like a puzzle piece.
Hey you guys in the Rucker area! Who do you want to move you? The answer: These guys: COVAN MOVING COMPANY! They have been ginger with all my furniture ALL DAY!
Over the course of three days, these men have seen every single aspect of our lives, they have carefully packaged all of our personal belongings and we have gladly put them in their care. We have gotten to know them personally, laughed with them, worked with them and treated them like family.
Just another cool group of 'allies' we have met along the way in our Adventure to NEVER NEVER LAND.

Tonight roughin' it begins. Everything will be gone, and we will be camping in a empty house......I wonder what room LEGS wants to sleep in?
Over & Out.....
Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife....**
Brings back memories of our military moves. Wish Id taken pics of our movers,funny dudes, we had a lot of fun with them, talk about hard workers too....these men have no idea how big a deal they are. I remember asking them what kind of pizza they wanted for lunch...one of them said "I wont eat that cheap fuckin dominos shit....round table or gino's." He was dead serious lol. They always figure out how to make it all fit too, I had to laugh when I saw your crates....looks like a puzzle thats been put together.
