OH MY!!! 
We are gradually learning about base life. We are only here for 11 months, so we decided to use the housing provided on base rather than living out in town. There is just enough room for us to not go crazy, there are plenty of critters crawling about and there is no microwave to be found. Privacy is unheard of since we have neighbors in every direction.
The good news is that we will rarely need to leave the base. We are within walking distance to the pool, library, post office, gas station, grocery store, exchange, golf, fishing and most importantly (for Jack) the O'Club. It is all just like you see on the movies...revelie plays at 6am, colors at 5pm and taps at 9pm.
Jack will have his first day of War College tomorrow. He is excited about his classes and thankful to be at home with his family for the next 11 months. After three years at home, I have decided to go back to work. I recently accepted a position as an enrichment teacher at the Child Development Center on base. The boys will be attending school full-time while I work part-time. I am thrilled to have a job...staying at home with my monkeys is too hard!!!
