No A/C

I remember as a kid my parents not ever turning the a/c on until close to June. I can’t remember ever going longer then that. I would like to do the same, I would like to not turn our a/c on til June 1. I know this will be a challenge. I know that this will mean some lifestyle changes, no drying clothes during the day. Heck air drying will be better. Don’t use the oven unless I absolutely have too. I think I need to get comfortable grilling, that way the heat is outside.

We managed to keep our electric bill below $100 last summer. My goal is to do the same this summer.

Wish me luck, I will keep you posted as this challenge goes on. Do you have any tips, tricks, or advice to make it easier?

Goodbye Texas

Hello Colorado. Now we wait for paper orders so that I we can start the process of getting on the wait list for housing. I am not going to lie, I am so happy to be staying CONUS. There won’t be any huge hoops to jump through to take FootFoot. I guess we will be buying real coats next winter.

Now comes the headache, we will be moving during the busy season for PCSing. I have no idea what to expect, I am a bit scared. If you have any tips, tricks, or advice; please share with this girl.

I have never lived anywhere outside of Texas and most of it has been in the D/FW metroplex. So this is going to be a system shock to this Texan. Maybe Colorado has all four seasons?
