Our Home

So Tuesday we got up (May 8), packed up and checked out from the hotel. I really didn't like the highway coming in so I asked if there was a different way and there was. A little on the same highway (but nothing like we would have had) and on to another. As we are driving up this Transmountain highway, I just kept thinking man my car is ticked from all this driving. So I say something to Jesse over the 2way and he said yeah well it doesn't help we are headed into a really good headwind. Oh, and when the signs say watch for falling rocks, they really mean it. We were climbing the mountains, only to have to go back down and let me tell you, that is a little freaky.

Finally we make it to Ft Bliss and try to enter a gate. I see them talking to Jesse and telling him to turn around and go.... So I follow and we get to another gate, same thing. Third gate, at least this time we are only directed to go over to a building just outside. We need to go in and get 1 day passes to just get on base. Now, when Jesse's car broke down I was kinda freaking out and grabbing things thinking we were going to have to leave it behind. Well one thing I grabbed happened to be his registration. Of course it was a needed item and do you think I could remember where I put it, of course not. We ended up getting the passes thankfully (I later found the resgistation a couple days later, in his boot which I had also grabbed from his car). So we head off to housing.

We got everything signed for, stopped for a quick lunch and met our housing agent at the house.



There is no carpet in these homes and we just were going to let that be so we picked up one for the front room at least. Here are a few more pictures of the inside. These were all taken before our stuff arrived. And since we only took so much with us, like kids toys for instance, some new items were bought to fill in for the meantime (each of the kids got a new toy;)).

Ok, so those pictures were taken after we were here a couple of days. Bad me forgot to take some as soon as we got here. You can tell because the first night Jesse and I slept on the air mattress and the kids had sleeping bags. It was the next day we went and rented a bed and then the kids got the sleep on the air mattress together. Once I finishing off unpacking everything and getting it all just so, I plan putting up virtual tours, or so I hope.
