It's been a while since we've posted anything, but we have returned (after several requests for a blog post and several assurances that we've done nothing noteworthy for the last few weeks)! However, be prepared to be put to sleep!
First, we've finally managed to get all of the boxes we had delivered unpacked, sorted, put away and/or repacked! We spent all day yesterday breaking down boxes, throwing away a GIGANTIC mountain of packing paper, and finally are able to use our main bathroom. The only other major hurdle we're faced with is going through the 3 boxes of paperwork from our filing cabinet. There will be "a whole lotta *shreddin* going on" since we don't think we'll be needing our 10-year old electric bills from Pullman any more!
Work has been going well for Cam. He's been loaned out to a different Major. Major D is in the process of overhauling the Air Defense Artillery training and Cam's been assigned various tasks to support that. Cam's also had the opportunity to do some simulator training on various weapons systems, including: M2 .50 cal, MK 19 grenade launcher, M240B machine gun, and M4 rifle. Cam leaves for BOLC II training (AKA Officers' Basic Training) on July 4 and will be at Ft. Sill, OK for 6 weeks.
On the Mr. Fix-It front, Cam spent most of Friday afternoon dismantling the large TV cabinet. In its original state, it was far too heavy to lift into the back of the truck in order to deliver it to the recycle place. With all the extra wood and speakers removed, it's far easier to handle.

Finally, I had a TOTAL GIRL MOMENT on Friday morning. While preparing to take a shower after Cam had left for work (no clothes on or contacts in), I pulled back the shower curtain to find the biggest cockroach I've seen yet! After screaming my head off, I decided to take matters into my own hands and squished the sucker with a nice pointy stiletto. I then used the skills gained from years of watching CSI:, Forensic Files, etc. to document the crime scene. Eek! That sucker was HUGE! Cam claims that the roach he stepped on a few weeks ago (in the middle of the night, in his bare feet), was AT LEAST the size of this one. Since I've heard that, I haven't once gotten up at night to do anything!
