Hurry up and wait

It's been a few days since I last posted but we are in El Paso safe and sound!! It took us all of Sunday and part of Monday to get here. We are staying on base in a hotel until we can get into an apartment. And of course we only have a certain amount of time to do it but we have to wait for the paper work to go through. It seems that the Army is a big fan of the phrase "Hurry up and wait." They want you to hurry and then make you wait!! This week Austin has been in-processing where they get all of his paper work figured out and get him all set up and ready to start work. While he's doing this I make phone calls to different apartments trying to find us a place. You would think that a city this big would have plenty of places to rent out but they have nothing!! Good thing we did find one though. While driving around on Tuesday we were on one of their many, twisting, winding freeways and Austin points out a flag. Can you guess what it was?? The mexican flag in Juarez, Mexico!! On the freeway I could look to one side and see El Paso, and look to the other and see Mexico!! I knew we were close but I didn't know we were THAT close!! It will be a new experience for sure!! We are looking forward to our new beginnings in El Paso, close to the border, in our own apartment, starting our lives together!! Keep us in your prayers!!
