Settling Down

So if you ask me today, do I regret the decision to come to Ft Lewis, I am not sure on what type of response you will get. Part of me does regret the decision to move so far away from friends and family, but then again part of me is glad we made the move. I got to see parts of the US that I never thought I would see.  Yes, It took us 4 days of Driving and Hotels to get here but that is over and we are settled in. 

The kids are in their new schools and they seem to be adjusting well to them. Rick is in his Unit and 

is getting used to being on a Line Unit once again. That just means more Field time and training to me. It is something you get used to though. Although I have not had to deal with it much for the past 3 years. That may take some time to get used to.   Me on the other hand I am  settled. I have the house unpacked, I still have 2 boxes of clothes to wash once I figure out how to get the smell out of them. The movers some how managed to get Diesel on them and I am not sure how to get that out.  I have yet to get my daily routine down but I am working on that. I need to get  back to work on my Project 52. I am only a few weeks behind on that since the move. I have taken pictures though. I have so much I need to get done and it seems like I have very little time to do so.. Usually I keep music going and I can concentrate better and get things done but of course it seems from  6 am till 2 pm is not enough time to do anything I want to do.   I just need to work on time management a little bit better.  So wish me luck on that one.. You know I have been slacking because  I have yet to finish the next book I started lol.. I am hoping once I sit down, I can finish it.  I think I am about 10 chapters in on it though..  

I have on the other hand gotten into baking more since we have been here. No Cupcakes, but I tend to 

make muffins or cinnamon rolls in the morning.  I guess that counts for something too.  I guess it helps me adjust a little bit better. The weather here is definitely different from Oklahoma and takes some getting used to.  It is usually rainy but today it is Cold and Clearing a bit more. I guess I was hoping with it being on the Pacific Coast it would be Warmer and Wet. I was wrong on that lol. Rather it is cold and wet. That is going to take some time to adjust to. Oh well. As long as I can stay inside I am good. The kids have spring break soon and Richard is going to spring camp for ROTC. So it is going to be me and the girls.  I am thinking a Mini Photo Session with the Girls is in order lol. I have People complaining they have not gotten any new school pictures of the girls.  

Well I guess I am going to go and see what I can get done before the kids start coming home from school.  

I am still trying to get used to the different times they start school and get home.  Diana goes in at 730 and gets home at 230. Richard goes at 630 and is home by 230, Christianna goes at 8 am and gets home at 330. 

Big difference on those here.  

I will have pictures soon and hopefully an update for project 52!
