home sweet home

We are finally getting settled in here in the big city of San Antonio. We live in a nice little (actually big these housing developments are huge) neighborhood. We found a great deal on a furnished place, so our leap of faith of leaving MS without a place to live worked out. If traffic is minimal Ben can get to the base in about 15 mins. We live about 10 mins away from Sea World, but we haven't been yet. I think that we'll be in San Antonio for just the right amount of time to enjoy the state of Texas.

Here's the front of the house

Here's our view from the back deck

Finding a furnished place was great- except that means that the decorations just might not be your taste. The owner of the home is from Ecuador and she's probably in her 70's (the dishes are the exact same as my granny's). Here are a few of the cool pieces from our house.

There are a pair of these elephants in our front room.

Our bar- we are pretty sure that all the carvings are by hand- they are pretty cool.

Everything is bigger in Texas right? Well this is the first time I saw a C-5 up close. It is so big that they don't even put the whole plane in the hanger. Ben had his first simulator on Friday night- he came home and said, "she's a big beautiful beast." Ben told me that they can fit 6 greyhound buses in one, crazy isn't it.

That line in the sky is actually the crack in the buick's windshield- very classy huh.
