Settling in!

We are finally here! Our new home is in Sierra Vista, Arizona! Small town about an hour southeast of Tucson, and about an hour north of the Mexican border. Funnies thing I've learned so far is that two best restaurants in our town are the German bakery and the Greek place. But it does have a lot more restaurants, and a bit more shopping than Manhattan.

We rented a house on the east side of town, near the Wal-Mart. It's a little bit more than 1500 square feet - almost 600 feet bigger than our house on Fort Riley. And I have a kitchen with an island (SWEET!!), and a huge master bedroom with a master bathroom (no more sharing with the kids) and a walk-in closet. AHHHHHHHH!!

We received our household goods on Monday of this week, and have been unpacking since then. Whew!!! 8 million decisions to make, what goes where, where is this thing, and keeping my munchkins doing their school work too. And happily, I got my brain (computer) back and set up. We were able to get our rooms, linens, and the kitchen unpacked in only 3 days. I even cooked our first dinner at home last night - Rosemary Chicken and mashed potatoes. Yummy! Thank goodness I found my cookbooks pretty early in the unpacking. I even got to Target and picked up the candles to go into the candlesticks and a vacuum cleaner too.

Definitely don't go into the garage yet--- YIKES it's a mess! But thankfully, nothing is broken or missing and we're happy to be settled again.

John is working for the Border Patrol in the office. He is really enjoying it, very similar to the work he did in Iraq.

I'll post some pictures soon (well, as soon as I find my camera).
I'm definitely enjoying the sunny, warm weather and beautiful views!
