We made it to El Paso

So we made it to El Paso and we moved into our new apartment. Our living conditions are much better here, which is great for Danae and the girls. We will be here for 5 months while I attend Air Defense Artillery Officer Basic Course. I will be learning the technical aspects of my branch (and there are a lot of aspects!) which means there will be a ton of information shoved at us...I pray that I will be a good sponge.

The environment of this course is much different than the others I have been to. It is much more focused on the technical portion of being an officer. I'm looking forward to learning the different aspects of my career field and then moving on to the next stage of this process.

The pictures you see above were taken in Oklahoma at a pumpkin patch that we took the girls to. We tried to get us all together, but it didn't work out so well. The trip down to El Paso went pretty well as the girls were very good travelers this time. We visited with Danae's Aunts (Hazel and Carla) and Hazel and TW (her husband) let us stay in their cabin in Ruidoso, NM. It is in the mountains and it was fun for the girls to have a place they could run around in. Unpacking was not that fun, but it never really is...is it? At least we only have to do the pack and unpack thing one more time (even though we have one more stop before we get to Fort Campbell).

We live less than 4 miles from post which is great because I can come home after PT and see the girls before we all start our day. I also get to live with them full-time as opposed to what we were doing in Oklahoma.

Well that's all for now, we'll post some other pictures of our travels soon...we love and miss you guys and look forward to hearing from you soon.
