Greetings from the State of Enchantment



We have been here for a little over two weeks now and have finally begun to get settled in a bit. When we arrived we lived on base in a hotel for about 11 days and now are living quite large in an RV.



I've always wanted to try living in an RV and I do have to say that while the quarters are small (especially the restroom) it is indeedy a lot of fun and it's teaching me how to organize better and to consolidate.

We have some neighbors that have four kids and two dogs all living together in an RV. I'm not sure it would be much fun with that many people, but it works for them.



The weather has been an adjustment for us. It is DRY DRY DRY here. I have always lived with humidity, so this has been a major adjustment for me.

It's usually super cold in the morning and at night. The daytime is fairly warm. The wind seems to never let up. I've been told that April and May are probably the windiest months.

As you can see in the picture below, my hair is all over the place.

The people here in the city of Clovis are very nice and highly support the military.

I'm just really glad that normal citizens here recognize the importance and have respect for the people that are defending our country.



We adore all the people in our new Ward!
Keedan has plenty of room to rummage and has already made several friends.
We try to sit in the back so that Keedan has some room to play.




Keedan is adjusting quite well to the many changes we have encountered. He loves to be outside and loves even more to get dirty.



When we were taking these pics on base, there was quite a bit of bird poop along the sidewalk. Keedan was walking along and when he spotted some he would point to it or barely touch it and Ryan would say.."NO Keedan KCakCA".



Moments later, Keedan was ahead of us and fell down on the concrete. He began pointing at the white bird poop and then......Dun dun dun dun....he put his finger in his mouth.

I ran to him saying no Keedan NO....and of course he thought it was funny so he kept dipping his finger in the bird poop and then sticking his finger in his mouth.



Oh the JOYS of a little BOY :)

Sounds like the adventures continue!! You're a better woman than I am, living in an RV! It will be fond memories and good times, I'm sure!

Good luck to you guys. Tol dyou those New Mexicans are awfully nice. ;)

Haha! Little boys are so silly! Our little girl does the same thing, while our boy stays away from "poop". Go figure!

Glad you are all together again and GOOD LUCK! (Also, being from UT I can say, the West is the booger capital of the world. Lotion, lotion, lotion, mentholatum for the nose...you may smell like an old lady for a while, but at least it doesn't hurt when you breath!) :)

Congratulations on the big move, you guys. On to the next stage in life. I hope that you have a ton of fun in New mexico, and that you get used to the dry air.

are you in an RV too?? our quarters are small too the bath room is super small.. you almost hit your arm on the door as you go in or out. I think the opens here are smaller then most from what I hear.
Good LUCK
