Wow - I haven't blogged in forever!!

I am now sitting in my living room - on my lovely Italian leather couches, on the internet and relaxing from a long day of unpacking boxes...the beauty of that statement is that I'm in OUR house with our stuff - even if it is all in boxes!! We have had a busy month! We spent 5 weeks in the Randolph AFB TLF....VERY thankful not to have to move, but VERY ready to leave our one bedroom arrangement. The kids started school and are loving it! I was very worried about switching them mid-semester, but they have adjusted just fine. Kids are so resilient!

We left for AL and were able to take part in a commissioning ceremony for some dear family friends. I sang the National Anthem and John was part of the Official party and did the Oath of Office - it was so awesome to be a part of such a monumental experience for them! AND having been through the OTS program 9 years ago, it was great to just sit back, relax and enjoy all moving pieces that make up OTS - an awesome experience yet extremely difficult 13 weeks! We hit Destin, FL the end of the week and loved the sunny beach !! We all ended up MAJORLY sunburned and are still peeling - ewwww :)

We closed on the house Monday, had painting done by Tues, then household goods came on Thurs - busy week! Storage from 3 years ago was delivered Fri and we are finally unpacking...it's alot of work moving and always packing/repacking but we love it - we love San Antonio so far and are just enjoying all the sun and new opportunities!
