What a difference between Camp Lejeune and MCAS Iwakuni! Our entire base pretty much fits into the Berkley Manor/ Watkins Village housing area in NC. We have walked the whole base and have been using the base bus everyday. Mail doesn't come to your house here so it's post office visits about everyday.
The girls took a Bowling/Volleybowl camp last week as well as doing swimming lessons. They are going to do swimming again the next 2 weeks as well. Very proud that they both skipped a level with their swim lessons!! School will start August 29th for them. And of course the ladies at the library already recognize us when we walk in the door, Danielle has read like 7 books since our arrival! Cordy is on 4!
Bryce and I both have our SOFA License and are able to drive...now we just need to find a car! We rented one the day we moved from the Temp Lodging and he did really well (except that one time he went on the right side LOL). We ended up on the Northside of base, so further out from MCX, Library, etc. The apartment is near the Bowling Alley and there are 2 bus stops out front so it's not so bad. We are excited to get the first part of our shipment on Monday afternoon! Can't wait to get all my kitchen things that's for sure :) The only thing missing is my Sweetpea, we sure do miss her and are thankful for my folks and Aunt BKaye/ Uncle Gary for helping us with our fuzzy daughter while we are away.
