Texas part 2

When the boys and I arrived in Wichita Falls, Tom had everything ready to go for the apt and shortly after we arrived one of his buddies came and helped unload the car and set up the boys beds. We have amazing friends here and seem to gain more and more as time goes on. Tom gets to be here at the apt with us for a few hours each night but has a curfew during the week and then gets to stay the whole weekend which is GREAT. I've only freaked out on him a few times when I saw another person in the bed LOL. We found a GREAT church and have been regularly attending. I also go to a play group on base, the Library for story time and found a MOPS group. So we stay busy we also go to an indoor jump place once in a while which is fun for ALL even mommy ;) I went and learned how to make homemade tortillas this week and met some more Airforce wives. The bummer thing is that since Tom is in training we can't ALL get together as families because he's not supposed to hang out with higher ranks right now. Which can be annoying because all of the higher ranks are more my age and in my walk of life verses the teenagers that Tom can talk to. But the upside to having the younger guys and gals  around is that we never have a shortage of babysitters and our boys LOVE them. So that has been awesome. I also rather enjoy being in a bigger city and being able to make a last minute decision to go out to eat and it only takes 15 mins or so rather than 45 mins to go anywhere outside of Canon City. I dearly miss my washer and dryer and the convenience  of throwing a quick load in versus wondering did I get quarters? Is it nap time? are we leaving in the next 2 hours? Are their any machines open? Is it too windy? ( I don't appreciate my under wear flying across the parking lot) That is pretty much our life in a nut shell... more later... Might even add pics

TEXAS!

Soo much for keeping up on my blogging LOL.. the past few months have been a whirl wind.

Tom and I decided to move me and boys down to Texas and that was quite the process.

I drove down by myself to bring 1 vehicle and look for a place to live while our AMAZING friends watched two of my monsters... 1 very long boring drive and an almost speeding tickets later( I was going a whole 2 mph over, stupid cop said I was going 12 over, didn't even know the stinking speed limit) I made it to Texas, how did I know? My mountains were NO where to be found.  After a whole day of looking at places that scared the living day lights out of me and finding one that I absolutely LOVED but the manager wouldn't show up to work go figure. I was at the end of my rope and a friend I was staying with said hey lets go look at this place, I've heard good things about it from other moms. So she dragged me ( almost literally) to this apartment complex and I talked to the manager. It was WAY cheaper than any of the other places I had looked at and it was quite a bit nicer than most also. I flew back home and began packing up my entire house ( not the greatest thing to do alone) 2 weeks later my Life Group helped me move everything into a storage unit and then a few days later I began my journey to get to Texas... had to Stop in GJ to pick up Jonah from Bonnie's house and be sick for an entire week and then after being a week late and a VERY long two days of driving we made it to TEXAS!  The boys didn't know what to do seeing daddy. I don't think they really believed he was back for a good week. now of course Micah has his schedule down to a T and will tell you when daddy gets to stay and when he doesn't at night time. Jonah has quickly warmed back up to him and he is now once again the favorite.
