We're moved in and had our first snow!

Tuesday, December 2nd, we loaded our car with carpet and vinyl remnants from Carpet Plus and drove the ten minutes across town with little red flags on the ends to begin the self-installation. It was very important to finish it all in one night, because 9,000 lbs of furniture and boxes were being delivered the following morning.











Our first project was the bedroom. With a beautiful blue, plush floor. We even put in a 1/2 inch thick pad underneath to be extra cushy!










Then we went to work diligently in the living room/dining room area, entrance, and hallway with the vinyl and a nice patch of carpet for the living room. We also added in a dinner of carbo-load pasta and potatoes coupled with a late-night Ben & Jerry's run.










After a whirlwind Wednesday/Thursday of unpacking, getting appliances delivered, and more unpacking, we drove down to Oklahoma City to spend Shabbat with the community there. It's actually a very nice, warm little community. The Chabad recently built a brand new center, and they have a good number of couples who come every week for davening and the meals.

There were also two other couples who have been married about a year, so it was nice to get to know them.

When we can't make it down to Dallas, it's nice to have this community so close.

Yoni's been as busy as a casual guy can be, working one hour a day some days, and some days he actually gets a job. Yesterday, he handed out RIP sheets (Roster-Inbound Personnel) for TDY (Temporary Duty) assignments to a bunch of the LTs over at the OSS (Operational Support Squadron). Tomorrow he hopes to get a real job, otherwise he'll work with a few LTs making a video with the PA office on the "Life of the Casual Lemming."

Michelle's working two days a week at Enid Learning Academy and keeping plenty busy during all of the other days.

Here's our house so far:

The guest room:











All other rooms aren't quite clean enough for the blog yet... we'll work on that..

Today (Tuesday Dec 9th) we also had our first Oklahoma snow! It was flurries most of the day, but the intense winds made it seem like a blizzard. When all was said and done, the ground had about an inch and a half covering. Here's Gus in our carport from both directions, with the snow. You'll also notice Yoni's pretty new bike hanging upside down over Gus. That will be his regular transportation to work (weather permitting).












Also, we have a landline!!
