we have a home!

We were shown our new house today at 1400.  The location is the best in the neighborhood.  Our "complex" is on the corner and you can see the academic building that Brandon has class in from our sun porch.  We accepted the quarters today, take possession of the quarters on Thursday and get our HHG's  (household goods for non military) next Monday.  We are going to stay at our hotel thru the weekend.  The Marine Corps will pay us 10 days for temporary lodging,, so why not take full advantage?  We are going to keep enjoying the free breakfast and my favorite (the maid).

I attended my first coffee since we arrived.  A coffee is a social gathering of military spouses where we chat, catch up on events going on around the base.  No one really drinks coffee, but that is just what we call them.  This coffee was for all the Marine spouses who are assigned to Fort Sill.  It was great to see some familiar faces and to meet a lot of new faces.  Everyone was very welcoming.  Our coffee was actually at a winery.  This was my first time at a winery.  It was great,  the food was delicious..and the wine I tasted was a moscato.  It was a delicious fruity white wine,,  I am really a fan.  

The picture I have posted is of our "complex".  Now let me explain this picture as best I can.  These complexes are confusing.  our unit is the right side of the lower floor.  Our front door is the second from the right.  The first door from the right is for the unit above us (which is also empty).  Our sun porch is all the way on the right of the screen.  It is completely covered in windows and has a great view.  I didnt get any pictures of the inside of the house.  It was too chaotic and I plumb forgot!
