Our Last Week In Texas

This past week has been great. We have gotten to see many friends and family, some we havent seen in years. About a week and a half ago i went to a burger place with a couple of friends. When we walked in i saw this sign that said "Todays potatoes are from: Rexburg Id". That was amazing to me. Here i am, in Harker Heights, Texas...as far from Rexburg as i have ever been and i had a little piece of home with me. To any of you who live in Rexbug the fries tasted just like Big Judds out in Archer, Id. They are some of the best i have ever had. It made me very happy. :D.

The begining of this week we were starting to pack. To those of you who don't know how it works...unless you do a DITY (do it yourself) move the Army will have people come and pack your house up in boxes the day before or the morning before the movers will come to pick it up. Well we decided that we would have the Army move us but we did a few of the boxes ourselves like our clothes and some of our tolitries. While we were packing my clothes we got rid of nearly half of my shirts and a couple pair of pants. Now i guess i didnt realize how many clothes i really had until we got them out and counted. I will keep the number to myself but it was quite alot. This is what it looked like before they went to Good Will.

Our week continued with alot of activities. I had AFTB (Army Family Team Building) for 3 days of our last week and then we headed to San Antonio on Friday. We visted some of my family in Shertz, Texas. On friday night we went out with my aunt and uncle to have some great mexican food and go on the San Antonio River Ride...

On Saturday we went to Sea World in San Antonio. The owner of Sea World and Busch Gardens etc. has something called "Salute to our Heros". Suffice it to say that Dane and I both got in free and if we had 2 more dependants they would have as well. This is something that they give to the military once a year to any of their parks. We had alot of fun. The roller coasters were crazy and amazing. It started to rain about halfway through the day and alot of the rides shut down so we took the opportunity to go to the Shammu show. Shammu completely soaked me with his fin splash...Dane got mildly splashed...he thought it was hilarious. We also got to see a water and jet ski show that had some pretty sweet tricks. The water skiers even did it bare foot. We got splashed by them as welll ;).


Yesterday, Memorial day, we went to the 4ID and 1st Cav memorials on Ft Hood. We also got the chance to peruse the 1st Cav museum. We have previously gone to the 4ID museum...if you ever get a chance you should go. They are pretty awesome. Currently we are driving across the country. Final destination....Ft Carson, The mountain post. We are excited to get there and see our new apartment, get to know the town, and start a new adventure. A friend of mine once refered to Army life as a book. Each post is a new chapter. Well we are about to start the next chapter in our life...i just hope we are ready for it.
