The big question I keep hearing is "Do you like it?"
We do! Although it's WAY different from San Diego! I can't begin to tell you how nice the people are here. People on the street - people I don't even know - WAVE to us and make EYE CONTACT with us! Where I'm from, they just don't know that kind of friendliness! I've had more conversations with strangers then I've ever had in my last two trips to the grocery store over the deli select ham and which brand of diapers are the best.
The kids have started school and like it very much although they get more homework then they ever have. Their bus shows up to pick them up at - get this - 6:35am! Seriously - 6:35am. I wouldn't joke about something like that my friends! The last few days they were running out the door as it was driving up. Matt was in the middle of brushing his teeth today!
We have pretty much settled into the house and have unpacked with the exception of hanging a couple pictures. Cadence is learning how to talk more and more everyday and when we pull into the driveway she yells "HOME!!!" Here, I'll give you all a tour of the new place:
The living room!
Yeah - we thought it was kind of weird that we had to put our TV on the fireplace too!
What we like to call our "I Love me" wall!
The kitchen!
Ski is going to build us a table with his own two hands!!! This one is a little small now that Cadence can sit at the table with us.
Jacqui and Cadence's room. Yes they have to share again but it's worth it because we all love this house!!!
Matthew's room. He's so excited that we let him put the PS2 in his room. I don't think he's come out of there for the last couple days.
The kids bathroom!
Me and Ski's room. Not all wives would let their husband put a Dale Earnhardt Jr bedspread on their bed. I was such a catch!!!!
Our bathroom - double sinks!! No more fighting over sink space!
In "Ski" news - he is finally back with a Marine Command and is loving it! He is one of the SNCOIC's in charge of his work center and makes sure the shop and all of the Marines in the shop are doing what needs to be done. Next year sometime he is probably deploying to Japan again. I can't tell you how jealous I am! I would give anything to go back there! We are entertaining the idea of me, Jacqui, and Matt going to visit him while he is there for a week or two so that the kids get to experience what it is like in Japan.
The best part - I get to see him in Cammies again. Back in San Diego he changed at work everyday!
