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.

Home and Disneyland!

I decided it was finally time for Eric to see MY home. As soon as we get off the plane we notice a strong scent of sour grapes which Eric would tease me about for years to come. My parents were awesome enough to let us stay with them. That is until we all go to Disneyland! Woohoo! I'm always excited for that. It's more than that though. Eric is from Florida so he's only been to Disneyworld. I've also yet to see California Adventure since it opened after I left for the Army.

Fort Huachuca

Sep 13-16 2004

Have I mentioned Eric and his friend/co-worker, Jakan, run this Air Force site by themselves? Eric's the youngest hire. So young in fact he can't even get a rental car since you have to be 25. I'm proud of him. So was his platoon leader in Germany. He bragged all the time about Eric! They work on Holloman Air Force Base. It's by/a part of White Sands Missile Range. Anyway, Ft. Huachuca is in Arizona. It's where all the Military Intelligence people from my unit went to AIT. I was in Georgia. There was only a few of us Signal people.

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!

Honeymooners

We just got back from our wedding / honeymoon. The night of our wedding we celebrated at the Hard Rock Cafe. It's our thing. We've been to a lot of them so far. It took me hours to get the bobby-pins and hairspray out of my hair. I realized I should have left it alone and wore the veil too.
