Tuesday 10- 10 things about Halloween

1. We don't celebrate it, however I have nothing against those who do, religious preference
2. Have never celebrated it, my Dad thought it was too unsafe in the world to let us trick or treat
3. Did dress up @ school when I was little, parents did allow that.
4. I actually miss the dressing up part.
5. They also let us pass out candy, or at least had a big bowl for us to munch
6. I sometimes feel bad for my kids that they don't dress up.
7. I let them pass out candy the year, they're Dad was in Japan- SHHH
8. I ws thinking about letting them do it this year, and putting scriptures on the treats.
9. I am taping the Great Pumpkin, it's a childhood thing. Everybody has to watch the Great Pumpkin, it's as American as Apple Pie
10. If I could dress up, I'd go as a book worm,

So we are in the new house

So he we are... yes in Arizona, living in a house that is the size of a pea. The house as I told my brother is Alaska nice...as far a military houses go, that's great. However it is Florida small... as in before we had 2 kids and enough stuff to fill the moon. I want my old square footage back. I want my old colorful walls and I want my sewing room in order this house needs serious style renovations.

All in all however the neighbors are friendly, the weather is wonderful and well it's peaceful here. A different kind of tranquility from AK. Here it is hot and gorgeous instead of being frigid and gorgeous. I still have mountains too, sort of, more like large brown porous ant hills, LOL. I'm learning to be highway savvy as well. So it's a good thing I had lots of practice when I was home in Ohio. It has so paid off! I'm also enjoying the variety of places to shop, and I hate shopping so that says a lot. I guess I like being able to choose to shop, instead of being limited to ordering from the internet.

The only thing truly missing from this new chapter, is a new job. Yes I said it..I'm going to rejoin the working mom force. I really have no choice, and thinks to the beautiful weather and dry climate hopefully my fibromite body will not detest me.

So we've been in Arizona 3 weeks

We've been Arizona for almost 4 weeks now and I think I'm gonna like it here. Obviously it''s a big change from Alaska. So even though it's hotter than all get out, it's so much more developed. There's stuff to do and see everywhere. Around every corner is a strip mall, with a grocery store, Walmart, etc. You can literally go in any direction from the base and find something to do.

We have been living in TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility) and I'm so ready to be out of there. I have as you well know been living out a suitcase since MAY! So I'm ready for a permanent place to live and all mys things. The good news on that front is that it will actually happen soon. We move into our base house on Wednesday of next week. I'm really hoping the weekend just flies by.

So I'm roasting like a chile on a grill, but I'm learning to love every minute of it. Hopefully this new place truly finds a spot in my heart.
