Well we have arrived in the great state of VA. I love it here and am so sad that we are only here for 6 months and half of a month is already gone. =( The people here on post are so nice while we in processed and are so helpful. We put our name on a housing list like 5 months ago but once we got here they said there were no available houses and recommended we try these "luxury" apartments. Luxury obviously means different things to different people but the apartments are nice and I am glad to finally be somewhere stable and not living in a suitcase.
Monday our movers came. We have not had our stuff since the last week of June so we were so excited to see our furniture and the rest of our clothes. However we did lose 2 boxes that held some pretty important things and they broke a few big items like the knob from our washing machine and Clayton's exersaucer...oh well it looks like we will be filling a report with the Army for some new stuff.
VA is a haven for history and we are eating it up. So far we have visited a living history exhibit at Violet Bank House : the headquarters for Gen. Lee during the battle of Petersburg, Petersburg national Battlefield: so big we did not see it all and we took a tour from a CRAPPY guide...learned nothing but the battlefield is awesome. Tonight we took a walking tour of the Blanford Church cemetery in honor of the soldiers who died in the Battle of the Crater.
Jason started class Tuesday so Clayton and I have spent our days putting the apt. together and figuring out what this town has to offer us. There seem to be several things that will be really cool once we get in the routine.
Speaking of routine....Clayton does not have one right now and it is killing us. He is being a monster, not sleeping through the night, whining and having crazy temper issues. But is can say cookie (tutie) and something that sounds like badumpa dumpa? He now has 12 teeth and has not gained an ounce!
