Most of you know that Jerry and I met in the Air Force while at Scott AFB, IL and that I got out just before Brandon was born and then Jerry got out a little over a year ago. Well, apparently there were more long lasting effects than I thought on Brandon's expectations out of life. Remember he is only 6 and we actually only moved 3 times with him. But here is last night's conversation:
B: "Mom and Dad, we haven't moved to a new house in a little while."
M: "Nope, we're going to be here for a while." (Side note: especially considering how much our house has gone down in value since we bought it.)
B: "But I've gone to this school for 2 years now."
M: "Yeah, cool, huh?"
B: "Dad, do we have enough money to buy a new house?"
D: "Definitely not."
B: "So how long are we going to stay in this house?"
M: "I have no idea. Maybe until you go on a mission."
B: "Whoa."
I'm not sure what to make of this. But it was funny and we love him!

That is so funny! The long term stability is making him uncomfortable...he must like change.
LOL, I can relate... I grew up in an Air Force family and have managed to move around a fair amount since getting married. Anytime we stay in one place for 3-4 years it starts to feel like it's time to move again. We finally bought a house though so we'll be staying put for a while now :).
