We have been down here in Texas now for 2 weeks and have already decided to move out of the apartment we are in and to get on base in a home. Things just haven't really worked out all that well according to plan since we got here, we are in a beautiful apartment but are surrounded by scary influences and an unsafe enviroment, so now that process begins to move. Luckily our belongings haven't gotten here from our home in Utah so we won't have that much stuff to pack up and move over. Sean leaves the house at 4:30 a.m. and comes home between 5 and 6 p.m. so until he gets here me and the kids just find anything to keep us busy and not drive eachother nuts. As soon as Sean's scooter gets here I will have my beloved vehicle back and I can start taking Porter to preschool and her to daycare for a few so I can get things done ... preferably working out at the gym. They offer a ton of classes and I don't have to pay a dime so you better believe it I am going to take full advantage of that!!! San Antonio is big and so far we have seen downtown a few times and some of the out skirts. It is so much greener than I thought it would be, it really is beautiful and the weather has been okay. I still am sad to know I will not see snow until I go home for Christmas, but honestly I can do without driving in it for one winter. Porter has missed all of the family alot, but can I just say Skype is a lifesaver. Who ever invented it deserves a huge kiss. What a great tool to have, to beable to see your family and friends from thousands of miles away. We are finding our favorite things down here beginning with Blue Bell icecream, seriously a brand of icecream that takes up 4 sections of the freezer aisle. There is such a huge variety of food down here, not just all bbq like I expected. That for sure has been one of my favorite things to do with my excuse of having no utensils to cook with we go out to eat atleast twice a week, which will soon end once we get into our new home, but I also am excited to beable to create food for the family. Cooking and baking are such a great stress reliever for me. We love you all and miss you dearly!!!
