Greetings from Altus!

Well, we are finally getting settled into our new place here in Altus and I must say that besides the unreal amount of crickets here it doesnt seem like a bad place to live. It is a huge change from Oklahoma City and more like the town Allen and I grew up in which is nice but I have had four years of adjusting to the big city life and got spoiled. I like going to the mall when I'm bored or taking a walk on a actual sidewalk which none seem to exist in this part of the country. However, we have visited the two churches out here and found one that we really like. They have a young proffesionals class which is the one we have been going to and its been ok so far. The people in the congragation are very friendly and already excited about the baby being born soon. One lady even offered to act as the babies grandmother while we are here so she should be well taken care of.
Allen is getting ready to start his privite pilots license here in a week or so. He has to get yet another physical done before it all begins. He has had to go to the dentist twice since we have been here and has to go back today to get a cavity drilled on. He will have to go back again before we leave in 8 months to get another one drilled. (since they are on oppisite sides they dont want to do them at the same time). I feel so bad for him. Oh, and the air force put his birthday in wrong when they did all his DNA stuff so to make no confusion that Allen is really who he claims to be thay have to draw blood from him again before they can make any changes in the computer about him. He said by the time this is all over he will be on a first name basis with all the lab techs on base.
Well, this is getting long and I am getting hungry so I will write more soon and hopefully learn to do some pictures and post some of the space shuttle landing here last week. It was really exciting! Talk to you soon. Bye.
