The Mary has Landed!

It's official...I'm a Californian! I'm writing in the middle of a sea of boxes. I've managed to capture a few moments to myself while my boys are next door on the slip-n-slide with the new neighbor boys (they're in heaven)! Aside from all of the unpacking I have to do, things are great. I've already had my sister and niece visit, which was awesome. That's the perks of living closer to family and oh how I've missed it.

The base housing here was built in 1958, so I feel kind of like I'm in the ghetto, but we're making the most of it. The yard is big and the weather has been pleasant, so I won't complain (oh, who am I kidding, I'll complain, just not yet)! Hubby's schedule has been pretty low key since we've been here, so it's been nice to be able to work on the house together. It won't feel normal until the kids start back to school. Our schedule has been really chaotic, so I won't get the gist of life on base until we have a little structure.

I've missed blogging and keeping in touch with the world outside of my own little circle. Sometimes I feel so completely out of touch because we don't get a newspaper yet, just got cable and internet hooked up. I feel like a clueless wonder these days. I can't really discuss current events because I don't know what's current.

Anyway, it's good to have a home once again. If you can believe it I live on a street that rhymes with my name. Any guesses?
