We're Around!

Been MIA for a few days since we are in our house and dont have the internet hooked up yet!! Hopefully that will be fixed VERY soon because I am about to lose it with my lifeline!! haha Having to walk across base for internet is only good for so long!! lol Exercise is good, but the pool of sweat while walking there isn't always the greatest! :)

It has officially been a week since we have been here, in Turkey.  I am currently cooling down at Starbucks enjoying a nice, cold Caramel Frappaccino! :) Holla to all my Starbucks lovers!   I spent the afternoon sweating my rear end off at the pool and now I am waiting on J-Twice to get off work so we can make a visit to the commissary (grocery for all you non-military folk!) 

Let's see…….what have we been up to….

We moved into our house yesterday---it is NOTHING like our house we had in DC---I LOVED that house--we sure were spoiled! Oh well---2 years….one week down---roughly 103 weeks to go! haha ((yes, i do have a countdown!) I spent the morning cleaning it and then our loaner furniture was delivered in the afternoon, and yes--when they say bare minimums, they give you bare minimums!! Thankfully, J-Twice's sponsor is allowing us to borrow an extra TV he has so we aren't just staring at the blank walls in the evening. LOL I will be, oh-so-HAPPY when our furniture arrives…we find ourselves longing for our comfortable couch! 

It is customary around here to hire gardener's, maid's and nannies.  Needless to say the gardeners didn't wait but 2 minutes before the guys who delivered the furniture to leave and start banging on the door.  I ignored them and let J-Twice talk to them today when he came home for lunch (b/c yes, they were back at it again today).  I knew J would hire one, because of course it gets him out of the fun work!! (and myself too…no picking weeds for 2 yrs…YES.PLEASE!!) It's only $40/month so why.not!!! They do everything for you. We Americans are very rich compared to them, so we will do our part in helping them to live a better life.  

There are lots of fun, adventurous trips offered here so we are trying to decide where we want to go first.  There are so many options!! We are looking forward to getting out there and exploring.  Don't you worry one bit, I will be posting about each trip! 

Well, I am off to meet J-Twice for some grocery shopping…wooo hoooo!!!! haha I am SO over eating out!!!! This chick needs to start cooking dinner again! :)

Talk to you all soon!
