Who Needs To Unpack?

We have been really busy this week! Unfortunately, that means that we have severely neglected the continuing process of getting settled. We're still making progress here and there, but there are still waaaay too many boxes in the house. So, no pictures, yet, sorry!

What have we been busy with this week, you ask? Well, on Monday night we went to a small group/bible study through our church that we really enjoyed. We met a really friendly woman at church on Sunday who leads the group with her husband and she invited us, along with another couple we know. They're going through a book/DV

D by John Piper and it seems really interesting so far. It's called Don't Waste Your Life. Nick loves John Piper, so we're pretty excited. Then, on Tuesday, there was a men's lunch at our new church that Nick went to, and I was invited out to lunch with the same lady and a bunch of other girls. There were 7 of us all together and we went to a cute little town nearby for a delicious meal and some window shopping.

Finally, today, I went to a Newcomer Orientation at our new post with a girl I'm kind of casually mentoring (she's brand new to the Army). I'm really glad we went together because like 80% of the people there were soldiers in uniform, which neither of us were expecting (I thought this was mostly for spouses and stuff). But, there was a lot of good information and I came home with a ridiculous amount of free stuff. Oh, and the USO was handing out Krispy Kreme doughnuts, which is always a good time.

So really, I don't know when in all this we would have time to unpack! We are getting there, just slowly. Hopefully we'll be able to get more done this weekend, since it is a 4-day weekend...not that Nick has been gone more than a few hours a day trying to get into the next Airborne class (fingers crossed) since his Stryker Leader Course is over. But we'll probably buckle down a little more since there isn't a whole lot else going on...I hope.
