Road trip time! So we flew to Dallas last month for a house hunting trip. We found a great one in Rockwall which is right outside Dallas. It's separated by a lake. Ooh pretty!

Our First Home
I can't believe it! I'm 23, Eric's 24 and we're buying our first home. Eric's boss did some persuading. He made a lot of good points. Renting sucks!
So we met up with a real estate agent and started looking. Alamogordo is a very small town. One school and one grocery store. I think the only thing keeping this place alive is the military base. In spite of that, there are a lot of nice houses. A lot of them are new being built only a couple years ago.

Rattlesnake Round-up
There's not much to do in this small town of Alamogordo NM besides go to walmart and stare at fish, or go to the zoo and stare at turtles. The zoo also has this adorable sounding bird that sounds like a bicycle horn. I love to feed that little guy!

Burrow's Meet Evans'
January 15-26
Well Eric and I know we're going to get married. We don't know where or when yet, but we do know the parents should meet. The in-laws flew in to El Paso which is about an hour and a half away. Everyone is staying in a hotel since we only have a one room apartment. It's actually still very much a bachelor pad. He spent about 9 months here before I even arrived. A year is a LONG time to be apart! Wow I lost track didn't I?

Last Days as a Soldier
Nov 1st 2003
I haven't written in a while. I guess I have some explaining to do. Sometime in May I went in to see my doctor. They told me I have to go through a medical board and they would decide my fate as a soldier. From that day, until now has been a lot of depression and anxiety filled days. Not really just for me, but for all the soldiers that remain here. There aren't many of us. Maybe 5 now. There's no one left on base. The commissary is closed and the shoppette has hardly any food. Not to mention the terrible heat wave. AC's don't exist here. Shame has gone out the window as everyone has to hang out in the barracks in their underwear. it's unbearable. I know the rest of the unit has it worse. They're in Iraq now. I've only been there for 2 weeks total and not at once, and I can say it's pretty bad, and I don't just mean heat. I can't imagine what they're going through being there for a year almost. I guess that's where some of the depression comes in. We want to be there with them. It's why I signed up. I want/need to be soldier.
