A few weeks in pictures

It has been a very busy, crazy couple of weeks. We made it to our next base after a 2 day drive. I am not a fan of car trips. In fact, it is almost like torture for me. It was uneventful but hours in the car is just not something I enjoy. Why do we not teleport yet?!

We are still in temporary housing. It is housing like we had last time we were here. I remembered it was bad but man I couldn't live here long term again. Our rental house we were counting on fell through but thankfully we are able to get a base house in a couple more days. It will be so nice to settle and babyproof.

The base hasn't changed very much. There is more new housing. The town has grown a bit. We are still in the middle of nowhere though. I miss Target already. At least we are back in the land of good Mexican food. I am not a Tex Mex kind of girl. I need my white cheese dip. :)

We had a final goodbye lunch with our friends in Texas. We will miss them so!

First day at their new school! They rode the bus back to base and loved it. Once we get settled in our house, they will be riding the bus to and from school. A huge step for them (and me).

Our week in pics (a little late)

We've been busy with this non-move. Have I mentioned I love the hurry up and wait of military life?
Here was our week last week.

Evan got a little roughed up playing backyard football with 3rd graders
