so! we r at our new post. drive down was pretty easy. but when eric called to confirm our reservation at on-post lodging they did not have our updated 1st night. stayed at the marriott. nice. then packed up and tried to get stuff done on post. hit an obscene amount of red tape. got nothing done... wait... we got the cars washed :-)
moved all our stuff in to on post lodging and quickly realized the roaches and their droppings won. so here I sit in the hot car outside of onpost lodging where eric is chewing out staff. should end on a happy note... got to see the outside of the house eric just bought us. he did a great job! neighborhood is wonderful. good friend right down the street. other good news: happy birthday Uncle Frank and Theresa Sherwood!!! Funny: Nicholas' 1st impression of our new digs... "WoW!!!! They have REAL Army men here!!!!" gonna go find something to eat. fun fun!
