Catching up...with time

The next few days have been a lot better.  We are now at the guesthouse- with cable, Internet, and a phone, so we feel a lot better.
We went to look at houses (apartments).  There are two housing sections here- Patrick Henry Village (PHV) and Mark Twain Village (MTV).  The apartments at PHV are quite a bit smaller, but also located at PHV is the commissary, PX,  movie theater, bowling alley, and library, so I was hoping to get into an apartment over there.  However, there were only two open, both at MTV.  There is not much else over there, just a few small parks.
So, we took a house at MTV, and I am getting a little excited about it.  It was about 400 sq. foot larger, and with the baby on the way, we need all the space we can get.  The apartment comes with a few pros and cons.  Some features I am less excited about is that fact that it is located on the top floor (3rd), the laundry facility is in the basement, and the electrical outlets are all European.  But, the size makes up for most of the negative aspects.  There are huge windows overlooking a large mountain, so it is a beautiful view.  The floors are all tile and wood.  There is adequate storage, and in addition to all of the built in closets, we have a small storage in the basement, ideal for storing bikes and things that you use frequently, a large community room about the size of our house, and each unit also has a maid's room, which is like a small guestroom located on the top floor, that we will most likely use for storage.  I guess the dogs and I will get plenty of exercise with all of the stairs!
The band will be relocating in about a year, to another post about 20 min away.  I am not sure why they are, I think something about better facilities.  So, in the meantime we will reside at Mark Twain Village on the top floor of Building 3703.
