#46....

I found out last night that we are #46 on the housing waiting list, about a 4 month wait. We were also told that after the first of the year it may go faster due to people PCSing or getting chaptered out. In the meantime, Wayne is trying to find us an apartment to rent. We are hoping that we will be able to find one that is month-to-month so that when our number is "called" we will be able to take it. If we are unable to take it we will move to the bottom of the list and have to start over again (that WILL NOT happen). I have heard MANY people complain that there is not a lot of housing on post and that some people have been on the wait list for over a year. So hopefully something will be happening soon.

Wayne has an appointment with transportation on Monday. If all goes well (with scheduling on their part), they may be packing us up on the following Monday and shipping our household goods on Tuesday.

Taylor is taking her finals at school early (today and tomorrow) so she can be done with it (she doesn't want to go to school next week on Monday and Tuesday--so I said ok). Her last official day of school at the Cameron School District will be tomorrow.

I got myself a GPS for Christmas (YAY! Broke down and FINALLY got one--figured it will be a good thing in El Paso!) and was playing around with it the other day. We decided to test it out and see if it "knew" the way to McDonalds. She did! She told us to go across the street, but still the right area! Anyways, the reason I brought the GPS up was because Silas was asking "where all she knew" (how to get there) and I said anywhere. He said "even Texas"?! I said "yes"! He said "so lets go"! I said "we can't yet, Daddy has to find us a house still". He said "maybe the girl on the thing (GPS) can find us one"! HAHAHA This still makes me giggle--Isn't he the cutest!!!

By the way.....there is 9 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Yippee! We don't have plans other than staying home (maybe moving?!) but I am going to make a small ham, some mac and cheese (Silas's fav!) and rolls for sure...just not sure what else! Maybe Taylor will come up with something special. Wayne will more than likely not be with us for Christmas, unless we will be moving at that time. So that stinks, not around for Thanksgiving and now Christmas. But we will once again make the best of things!
