Squiget has a Stroller

Part 1 of Squiget's Supplies and Shipments has arrived! We've got the stroller, car seat, two car bases and a pack 'n play. Its definately starting to get real.... but my back and feet could have already told you that!

Settling in...

I'm sorry it has been a while since the last post, obviously there is a lot going on and with that means I should be posting updates more often instead of less, it unfortunately doesn't work that way. Geoff started work last week, he got assigned to a "scout" unit and will be in charge of 3 Bradleys and 5 Humvees. With this assignment comes more training including a safety course this week (learning how to give an IV and such) as well as a Scout Leaders Course that is 3 weeks long back in Knox. Just when we thought we were out of there for good! We're heading up next week, so it'll be May before we can truely sink in and call this place home.

I'm keeping busy unpacking, trying to hang pictures, enjoying the convenience that comes with having a dishwasher and washing machine our new place. It was an interesting first couple of weeks here for Squiget too. I woke up with horrible back pains our first week and had Geoff take me to the hospital, turns out that I had a bladder/kidney infection that had been building up since before the move and it had triggered contractions to start! After that got finished I was started another bout with throwing up and more pain and we came to find out that I was one of the lucky ones who develope Kidney Stones during pregnancy, JOY! There is not much we can do until Squiget gets here (but we're thankful that we get to wait 3 more motnhs for that instead of having him/her in the NICU right now) but the pain is under control and I'm learning how to deal with patience~

I'll post more when we've decorated, but here is our little house in what we'll call the "before" pictures: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8BZMmzJw5aNIe&notag=1

Home Sweet Home

Its official! We are Texans!
Geoff and I survived the tour of the southern United States and made it to Fort Hood, Texas in one piece... complete with a tour of Graceland! We survived the 15 hours in a car, we survived the housing process on base and have even survived living out of a laundry basket for the past week! We got the keys to our new place on Thursday, picked paint colors and started the weekend long painting marathon on Friday, and are anxiously awaiting the delievery of our household goods tomorrow.
I'll post pictures as soon as my camera cords are unpacked but until then here are our new digits; our humble abode is located at 5756 24th Street, Fort Hood, TX 76544 and we're using our cell phones as our "local phones" so please keep in touch. More soon....
