{more updates on our time in TEXAS}

is hot. You just can't understand until you are here in it. The humidity has been really high so it makes it so sticky and darn HOT. I remember it being like this in Tulsa, but i had forgotten until we arrived here!
Some things going on lately...
1.Shane got his new uniforms that he has to wear on base.
2. We've been on base twice now and we love it there. It's like a little city. And its like watching an air show everyday. I mean, its not quite as good as a real air show, BUT we have fun watching the jets.
3. We have been busy constantly. I feel bad b/c Jaydon always takes two naps a day and he hasn't been able to for quite awhile b/c we have been gone a lot during the day.
4. We just registered Gavin for kindergarten! CRAZY! It's a great school though and its a uniform school, which i think is GREAT.
5. We just leased a new silver Toyota Prius for 3 years. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It may not be the "coolest" looking car BUT its the smartest car. 50 miles to a gallon. And the technology on the inside is completely amazing. That will be Shane's commute car everyday. AND if we get shipped overseas next year, Toyota has a deal with military that we can just turn our car in before we leave and thats that. We just have to show them our orders, and its done. So, we might only have it for one year, depending on where the air force sends us.
6. Ummmm...can i just say, we are actually going to be making MONEY in about a month. Yes, we are going to be bringing in pay checks. I can't believe it. It seems really weird to me. For almost seven years we have been poor and living off loans. Now we are going to be making money. It's been a long time of waiting.
7. Shane and i are both speaking in church this sunday. This ought to be interesting, since one of us will be out sitting with the kids. jaydon is an absolute nightmare, usually, during sacrament meeting. He loves to yell. His vocabulary is YELLING.
8. We keep our a.c. set at 79 degrees. I mean, when you come in from outside it is NICE, but after being in for a few minutes its not cool enough. BUT we have to keep it at that to have a tolerable electricity bill.
9.Here we have to mow our lawn twice a week and water it everyday. In Ohio we NEVER watered our lawn and we mowed probably once every two weeks.
10. The city gives us TWO garbage cans. The second one is for recycling. They come pick up our garbage TWICE week, where in ohio it was only once a week. So, you can be sure we will never be overloaded with garbage! thank goodness. :)
11. Locusts fill the air with their pretty sounds. Those are the sounds i loved to fall asleep to in Oklahoma, when it was nice enough to have our windows open. And the boys are finding all kinds of bugs that they have never seen before. They love it. They pick up the bugs and i can't be around when they do that. There are TONS of crickets. They are everywhere and in everything and are in any store we have gone into...dead on the floors.
