Sheppard Air Force Base

After many weeks of feeling somewhat homeless, Mason and I arrived at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX. We have spent the past few days acclimating ourselves to HUGE bugs, giant rabbits, slow drivers, and Texans who always say y'all. (Don't worry Jill, no big poofy hair yet, although 90% of the radio stations are country.) We are currently living in the Temporary Living Facilities (TLF) where we have several nice accommodations. There is a living room, kitchen table, a kitchen stocked with cookware and serving items, a decent sized bedroom and bathroom with a shower head about my size, which makes things hard for Mason. We've become quite friendly with the local librarians and spent all of Monday getting various ID cards and setting up finances.

Today we were able to choose our house. It is quite lovely, however, we will be unable to move in until the 13th of June because the movers are so backed up. We are relieved however to know that our possessions did make it to Wichita Falls. We'll have a lease signing party on th 12th. It's a good one month wedding gift for us.

Mason spends a great deal of time polishing his shoes and creasing his uniforms while Ellen makes continuous lists and fills out job applications. Adult life...not to shabby so far.
