Oh so much...so quickly

Well everyone I hoped to get more updates on the honeymoon trip but I tried to avoid the computer besides for homework. I will try and get some updates and pictures from the trip soon! It has been crazy. We got back from our trip Sunday morning. I got very sick with some bad cold...not the swine flu! It is funny though when I cough in public and people look at me as if I am killing them. I get some BAD cold every like 6 months. It tricked me this time and waiting 7-8months. So I have been battling that. I sound like a manly man with my voice too! ;-)
Anyway's we got back Sunday morning to Colorado and left Tuesday morning to Texas. We got here late Tuesday night and went and signed Derrek in at the post and stayed at a hotel. The post is HUGE! It is like a new world compared to Fort Irwin. It is very nice too!
Wednesday we came and signed for our apartment. The manager of the apartments was super sweet and helpful. We got a 2 bedroom/2 bath! It is about 950 sq. ft. and within our BAH (housing money the army gives us). It is a gated community and has on site security who is a Texas patrol. So we are liking it even though there have been delays on getting our household goods released from storage in CA and sent here. So that is hard but we are getting by.

On Wednesday the car was acting up so we had to take it into the shop. The guy there was super nice too and very helpful calling around trying to get us a rental car. So finally we found a place and he took us there. So we had a rental car which was like $50 for ONE day! That was crazy but we did not have a choice. Come to find out there were like 3 things wrong with the car. It needed a tune up and new plugs and such. It needs a new belt and something else with that. So the guy suggested if we could not afford it all today ($800) that at least do the tune up and get the belt replaces ASAP. So we did that. While I am gone next week Derrek is going to take it back and have the other $300 work done. The guy was super helpful and nice though. So far the customer service here in TX has been GREAT! I was concerned at first but so far I am impressed. As much as I hate that the car was acting up I feel grateful...it waited till we got here rather than the ride down and I have had it for 3 years with no problems but to replace the clutch which was my fault. So I am very lucky.

Well Saturday my mom is coming to TX to pick me up and we are going to go get Shawn from school. The orginial plan was Derrek and I were both going with her than our honeymoon...but the army did not like that. So because we are mostly settled depsite not having HHG, I decided I really wanted to go with my mom. I Really want to see Josh too and we are going too. We are going to also stop in VA for a few days so I am super stoked! Besides being away from Derrek it will be great! I miss my family. Well this is already longer than I planned. More updates to come soon I hope!

XOXO,
