I just have to say that I am so loving the weather here in Jersey right now!  They high today is the low 70's!  It is the end of August...love it!  It beats the continuous 100 degree temps that mi amigos are having down in Texas.  Miss my friends but nothing else about TEXAS! I am really an East Coast girl.  I see that more and more every day.  Right now I am flip flopping on if I want to "retire" with my hubby in Florida or stay up in this part of the country, not necessarily NJ but the North East/Virginia...thankfully we do not have to make a decision right now and I know that when the time comes it will come down to job opportunities.  Hopefully those opportunities are plentiful when the time does come.

Power is due to go off at any minute so I am going to post this and may come back later with more...then again I may not!  Happy Tuesday!

HELP!!! I want to go back to the old xanga...I just am not crazy about these themes.  I thought I would try it one more time but I do not like it at all! Please if you know how to go back to the old way let me know.  Thanks!

Oh my...it has been a while.  So what is going on with this "Jersey" girl?

We are finally settled into our house.  I must say for base housing it is not bad at all.  I have come to realize that I am not to crazy about the open concept of the Kitchen/living room/dining room combo.  In the kitchen area I can not hear anything if the dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal or even the water is on.  You can't hear the TV when any of those things run, plus the fridge runs loudly too.  (Frigidaire...what more do I need to say there?).  So I think if we ever build a house I do not want a completely open concept living area.  Maybe partial.

We have met some of the neighbors and they all seem really nice but there is one problem with all of them so far.  They are all ARMY!!!! I have not met anyone living around us that is Air Force yet, and we are living on the Air Force Base side not the Army side.  Other than that they are pretty great!

Here are just a few pics of the house inside:

We also made it over to the beach.  We had such a great time there.  They are no way near as pretty as Florida Beaches on the Gulf but they were nice. It was hazy and hot, Jake especially loved it.  This was the first time that Jake and Bob had ever been in the Atlantic Ocean.  A momentous occasion! LOL

Tomorrow we are heading out to Hurricane Harbor. It should be a lot of fun.  No promises, but I will attempt to post sooner than later!

We are patiently waiting for school to start.  So use to starting in August but here we do not start until September!  I am so ready for Jake to go back to school.  He's not!  He wants me to teach him.  HA! I don't think so.  He has been out of school since May and I have tried to work with him on school related things but it has been hard this summer because of all the chaos of moving.  Soon we will be back into our routine  I hope!

So what is up with the new set up of Xanga?  Not sure I like it.  Where is the editor for your photos?  Some of mine I need to rotate and can't seem to do that!  Oh well.  Be back soon!
