Settling in...

Aaron and I are finally settling into our new home. There are only about 2 boxes left. Of course they are filled with my crap but I plan on getting to them soon.

The first week has gone well. The snow has stopped although it is still quite chilly. We have had the handy man in already to fix a few things and the furniture cleaners are coming tomorrow. They need to clean up a spot left by the movers. I like that we get to have our couch cleaned but don't have to pay the bill. I guess the movers should use cleaner blankets to wrap people's stuff in. Here is a picture of the outside of a house I got from the Navy housing site. I haven't gotten a good pic of ours yet. But it is on the way, I promise. I will post it along with pictures of the inside when everything is hung up.

Here was the sight out our bedroom window the day the movers came to unload our stuff.

Looks like we are not in Kentucky anymore, Toto!

We have found our way around the area quite easily. Everything seems to be close by which I really like and my initial panic about no Target has been subdued. I found one in Cook's Corner down in Brunswick! We have tried a few local restaurants. The first one was Somethings Fishy. As you can tell by the name it was a seafood place. The place no only had good seafood but it also had a mom and pop feel to it, which Aaron and I always enjoy. The second place we tried was Fat Boy Drive-In. It doesn't really look like a place you would want to stop and eat at but the place was packed! So Aaron and I decided to go back another day and check it out. It was delicious! And I am sure it will become a favorite spot of ours. The Wal-Mart and Lowes here all have been built to look like cottages on the outside. They look almost too nice to go into! I guess that is New England for you.

As far as the Navy post, there isn't much to it. I was a little disappointed! I have to keep reminding myself that it is a Naval Air Station and not a port. Even though it is the Navy I haven't seen a ship yet. They have their version of the PX, they call it the NEX. And the do have a Commissary so I am excited about that. Although, it isn't located on post. It is actually in the next town over. The best thing about this is that it is located right next to where Aaron will be working. That way he can run over after work so I don't have too! Nice huh?!

Well I guess that is it for now. I think we are really going to like it here. Now it is up to the Army how long we get to stay and enjoy it!
