We're back in business!

We have been in El Paso for a week and a day, and have internet again as of a couple hours ago. There is so much to update it's not even funny, and we have tons of pictures to post, but I don't really feel like doing it right now, so it'll wait until tomorrow.

We've been busy. We had 250+ tagged items come off the moving truck, and each one of them had to be put into its proper place. A good 120 of those items were boxes that had to be unpacked, and we've gotten all but about 10 of them done and over with as of now. Thak has done most of the unpacking. I have tried to stay on top of the laundry and dishes. Our dishwasher doesn't work, so we're back to doing them by hand for the time being, but it's not so bad since it's temporary.

Erin was sick today, and we spent much of the day cleaning and sanitizing the house, including steam cleaning the couch cushions where she vomited, and most importantly, keeping Orren as far away from all that as possible. We still don't have a pediatrician here yet, and if he got sick, we'd end up having to take him to the ER, and that would suck for everyone involved, so the best medicine is "don't get sick". We've been cleaning, and disinfecting, and keeping his distance from her, and so far, knock on every woodlike entity in sight, it's worked. Oh, and by the way, the Target brand disinfecting wipes are better than the Clorox ones, and way cheaper. Just a good money saving tip there.

But anyhow, we love it in El Paso. The people are the nicest we've ever met, the food is outstanding, Ft. Bliss is beautiful, probably the nicest post either of us has ever seen, far less set foot on, and other than one run-in with a purely idiotic military wife who was hell bent on telling us how bad this place sucks, we've been pretty damn charmed ever since we crossed the state line.

TEXAS, MY SECOND HOME!!! WE ARE BACK, AND IT IS AWESOME!!!
