Let the fun continue

This post has been long over due and i'm so sorry about that, but i have been way to busy getting my new life underway in Perryville Md. I arrived this past tuesday morn and the fun started right away. We are about an hour north of Baltimore right on the water, it's on a veterans hospital and recovery grounds. We got assigned our living quarters (i'm living in a house built circa 1922) with 6 other ladies. We then got our uniforms, boots, filled out tons of paperwork and all that jazz. There are about 300 members, the largest group they have ever had, so they are still working all the kinks out. The #1 saying around here is "be flexable" so true. The real fun started Wed, being girls we decided to clean the house (it has not been lived in for a few months) we started with our rooms and contined to the bathroom and then kitchen and living room. The first thing we discovered behind a dresser was a dead bird with only the bones and feathers left, we had a quick scream some pics and then cleaned it up. Next while moving the furniture around we found a large dead male SQUIRREL!! It had a bushie tail and everything, being girls we jumped up on the chairs then ran over to the guys house next door to take him out to his grave. We lauged the rest of the afternoon and dinner about that untill we found out that our stove dosen't work which is going to make cooking kind of a hassel. Not to worry we talked to some people and we hope that it's getting taken care of. To end the adventurous day we got to go groccery shopping. Me and one of my roommates went for the whole house. We get $5 per person oer day and we were shopping for 5 days, so we had $175, but don't worry we got nothing name-brand and we made out like bandits, found every sale in the place. I just got my physical done so i have the rest of the day off untill later today when we make a Target run, i need lots more long underwear b/c it's bitter cold over here and i need more layers. I will try to get back to the computer in the next few days if i'm not having to much fun!!!! Love everyone tons!!!
love always Britt!!
