Getting all settled

So I have obviously fallen off the blogging horse again, but with a move and all, I think that is a good enough reason not to have blogged in a while.

Well, we have been in Florida for almost a month now. In so many ways, it doesn't seem that we have been here that long all ready, but in other ways it seems like we have been here much longer. We decided to live on base and are really happy with that decision. The housing here is brand new - in fact, no one has even lived in our house until now. (It is so new in fact, we can't even paint the walls because it will void the builder's warranty.) For base housing, it is beautiful and quite large. (I think I may need to buy new furniture just to fill it!!!) The unpacking is coming along very SLOWLY, but still coming along. I think at this point, we have the majority of the boxes unloaded and we are now just looking for "homes" for all of our things. Obviously, having a little one makes the move-in process much more lengthy.

The trip down was a long one. Addison did really well for the first long road trip, but that was in part to us stopping a lot to give her breaks. We took a 14 hour trip and turned it into a three day one. A little long for both of us, but I think had we pressed our luck it would have been a much more miserable trip for us all. We have decided though the next move, we will all be in one vehicle instead of two.

Of course, it is HOT! HOT!! HOT!!! here. It has been since we arrived. Don't get me wrong, it was hot in VA when we left, but it is so much worse here! It isn't the heat that I hate - I love warm weather, but I hate the humidity. It feels like a sauna outside. Over the last couple of weeks though, we have had several days of rain or days where it rains in the afternoon. That seems to help with the heat and so we have been trying to take advantage of these "cooler" days. I can say that Addie and I are truly looking forward to our two week trip to the NW in August. I think we will be spending a lot of time outside in the wonderful PNW summer weather.

I hope to post new pictures this weekend. However, that will all depend on if I find the camera cord... Here's to hoping we are all moved in soon!
