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!

Your place looks really nice.As always, you always know how to make a house a home. Bob and Jake are so lucky. Seems like school starting in September makes more since. Our schools started back last week. Seems like there was NO summer vacation. It is still so hot, the kids are having trouble concentrating on anything. I tested kindergarten today, and they just didn't want to be there..
The house looks very nice.. Wonder why there are all Army people over on the AF side? hmmm...
great pics of the guys at the beach. That is cool living so close.
