Oklahoma!

We made it to Fort Sill this afternoon about 1430.  We got on the road about 0830 and didnt even make one stop.

Our first stop was to ride around on base and see where we might be living.  We hope to have pictures of our neighborhood soon.  The housing is old (historic)... but very convenient to the building Brandon will have class.  We can actually see his the building from our house.  

Somethings have changed since we have been here.. new parks on base, the front golf course closed.  The town of Lawton is pretty much the same.  There are some new restaurants and of course our super hotel.

Just a word of friendly advice for anyone moving,, stay at Laquinta Inn and Suites!  They are all pet friendly and we have had GREAT rooms/breakfast/indoor pool... at every stop along the way.  The plain ol Laquinta Hotels are older,  but the Inn and Suites are top notch.  This one we are in here is great.  Less than a month old!  Our friends the Loomis' are staying here as well.  There is also a good smattering of young Marines staying here for some sort of school.  They almost killed me in the elevator earlier with their cologne!!  Heading out for a night on the town in Lawton I guess.

I am going out with Anja tonight to celebrate my birthday,  and tomorrow we are going to take the kiddies to the wildlife reservation.  We are also going to take some pictures of the housing areas.  I am just thankful to not be in the car tomorrow!

We are thankful to be here, and the kids are doing great!!!  Couldnt ask for a better birthday!
