Our New House

It's been a long time since we last wrote. After a wonderful summer spent in New York and Cape Cod, we have returned home and are settling into our school year routine. However, the home we are in now is not the one we left at the beginning of the summer. Our old house flooded twice as a result of a broken pipe, and while we were making our way back to Guam poor Tom (who was also on call all summer) had to deal with moving our entire house to a new home in a different Navy housing development. When we arrived home the furniture was in place, beds were made, and so much more. Here is a picture of our new house. My caravan is parked in front of the unit that is ours. We live on a long street. We don't really have a yard for the kids to run around in, but we like the house and the neighbors we've met. We're thankful that we did not lose much in the flood and that there was no major damage. Well, now that we are settled here we are waiting to hear about where we will be in June of 2008. At this point in time we are waiting to hear whether or not there is an open billet in Newport, RI. If so, there is a chance that we will be coming back to New England, but Tom would likely deploy from there for 6+ months. Our other option at this time is to extend in Guam for another year. Here in Guam deployment is unlikely though not guaranteed. We'll keep you posted.
