Good Grief, John. You've moved *almost* half as many times as I've been alive! I've moved 9 times since the day I was born and I'm 46. My father was in the USAF also, but we weren't moved around. Got lucky in that area I guess.

I'm about to make my 10th and last move..... until my kids stick me in an Daycare for Old Farts Home. =P

One of the things that cinched the deal for our house, was my commenting that we were looking for the house to our home for rest of our lives. Not to be rolled over in the market in 6 month, 3 years or even 7, but our house for 20-30 years.

Since getting married 26 yrs. ago, I've moved twice. We're about to move for the last time. Downsizing. Both kids are gone now so there's no reason for us to have such a large home. Time to get rid of stairs - ma and pa can't handle stairs no mo! We need one level.

So hopefully this will be our last move.
