New house

so i'm finally putting pictures up of our new house. yay. so here it is. isn't it cute? I found a job too! one of the sams clubs around here had a full-time baker postion open so i took it. my first day was last saturday. it is going well except for Rusty not liking being left home alone from 8am to 6pm every day. but she will get used to it. but she keeps following me around the house today since it's my day off. she wants constant attention! oh well. the mosquitos also came out this week. and they are the mosquitos from hell. there are swarms of them and their bites itch like nothing else. and they leave huge welts even if you don't scratch it. so i had to gog buy bug spray today because they got me 8 times in the last 2 days and cortisone cream doesn't stop the itch! it's awful but hopefully the spray will help. so that's it for now. oh and as if there aren't enough cars in the driveway in the pictures, we just bought another one. this one is fun though, it's a 1964 VW Bus that Nick and I are going to restore, we are really excited about working on it. We pick it up tonight so I will put up pictures soon.
p.s. we have 2 more bedrooms in the house but there are not any pictures of them because they are still messy with moving stuff.

ANTS

I got bit by fire ants today. and oh my gosh it stinking burns. So there i was minding my own business, standing in my own backyard watching Nick dig a hole. i was the moral support, of course :) and i was lost in thought when all the sudden my foot starts burning. i couldn't figure out why until i looked down and what do you know i was accidentaly standing right next to this ant hill. how nice. so the moral of the story. watch where you stand and get some heavy duty ant spray. die ants die.

pictures

Here are the pictures from Nick's re-enlistment and promotion to SGT. I know it took me a while to put them up but here they are.

move!

hello everyone. it has been so long since i last posted but that is because we moved! yep the army told us on thursday 22feb. that we were moving the next friday to san antonio texas!!! we were planning the move for may but the army bumped up the date.do you know how hard it is to move in a week? i do now! so after a week of furiously packing, trying to work and clear the base in Oklahoma, my mom flying in to help drive down there, an 8 hour drive, three days of living in a hotel while the dog lived in the car because she could't come in the hotel and searching for a place to live, we are finally moved in! we found a brand new 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house with a porch, garage, backyard, and my favorite part: a gas stove!it is actually in a suburb of san antonio called converse (ya like the shoe, isn't that cute?) but its only about 10-15 minutes away from anywhere we might need to go. so not too bad, we would probably spend that much time in traffic if we lived in the city anyway. so for the next year of our lives we will be living here while Nick goes to nursing school. today was his first day of class so we will see how it goes. I transfered down here with Sam's club and should start this coming monday at one close by. i have already been lost once trying to drive around this city and had to have my mom mapquest me home (which was hard because our tract isn't on mapquest since it's brand new.) but i can now sucessfully make it to the base and back. but that's about the only place i know how to get to so the next few weeks should be interesting. I am going to try and take some pictures and put them up on here but i have to find the digital camera first. i think it's in one of the boxes somewhere...
