Live a Little: Finally having a home...

For the last 13 years, our homes have been "where ever the Navy sent us".  With that being said, we have had several places we lived in, many different schools the kids attended, many neighborhoods we called ours...
but we never made a house a home. 
Always knowing that we would move soon, we never really unpacked anything except for the basics; clothes, toys, household items, and I kept picture frames and such packed away.  Knowing we were going to move every 6 months to a year, I didn't want to make it my home and then have the heartbreak of leaving it.

I short changed myself, not the kids though; their school art plastered our empty walls ;)
Last August, August 24, 2011 to be exact, we packed up our Honda Odyssey, and drove from San Diego, California to New York.  It was heartbreaking to say the least,
