Well we made here about two weeks ago. I am just starting to get my bearings. I am officially the owner of the Otis Library card today in Norwich CT. Very excited about that. That means I can get on the internet here instead of bothering my local Mediterranean Cafe “homies” who have this past week have really been a life saver. Basically my car is in the shop for a new alternator…My Mediterranean “homies” helped me jump my car twice last week…hang out while I did my laundry next door…and get on the internet basically every other day…

So let me tell you what I have been up to. When we first arrived to Connecticut at the end of March we checked into the Navy Lodge while awaiting the apartment finalizing paperwork for a couple days. I was very sick with a upper respiratory infection and in bed…And to top we arrived just in time for a snow storm!

So Thursday we signed our lease, maybe March 24? Got everything out of the cars and slept on the all to familiar floor with a comforter and feather bed from the car. Anyway Friday Jason goes to check into Submarine School. And guess what… They disenroll him because of something overlooked on his medical record… So they pull some strings to keep him here in CT, and he is now working as the IDC in the Groton Sub base clinic. There is still a chance he can go to sub school but it is slim. Right now all we know is that we are going to be here for at least two-three years.

Then the furniture arrives. This was alot of fun. I had to deal with to idiots moving in everything. While they moved all the boxes I had to inventory everything and rush to unpack every box and place everything to make sure everything was accounted for. All within a period of two hours. Then it took these people an hour to put together a stupid coffee table. So after getting rid of them it took another day or so to get everything into place.

So I had originally positioned the couch against the windows but J wanted the couch in the middle of the room in the other direction.. Trust me…this design that he has in this picture will not last for long.. Everything in the corner is supposed to be our “library area” bookshelf for books and DVDs…we will see I dont like it right now…on the left there is a pretty fire place but it isnt operational so we put pics and candles there.

So now this past week my concerns have been getting involved with my local church…St. Patricks… I am going to join the choir and the Musical Director I met this past Sunday…he showed me around the choir room and the loft… I am going to join after easter and go to their upcoming concert. Two weeks ago our first time at the church we met Monseigner or Father Tony as he likes to be called. He is so laid back and very cool. Jason likes him alot and so do I. I have done alot of thinking about this and Jason and I have decided we would liked to get married here. We have set a date…. And I will post more about that later… Here is a pic of the church…It is the most beautiful church I have ever seen…
