Where in the heck are all these people running to???

Whew! So I finished Twilight (great book) and actually got some unpacking done! My house is finally starting to look habitable (but Amy your night stand is still likely to be a stack of unpacked boxes!)
We are LOVING it here! Everyone is super friendly, and the grounds are amazing. I keep telling Bill I feel like I live at Hogwarts (I know...I'm a nerd!) We are shocked though that housings house warming gift was not a pair of running shoes though, because literally EVERYONE here is running ALL of the time! It's like a million Forrest Gumps, young and old, male and female, just running all the dang gone time! I have no idea where they run to, but I am pretty sure that if we don't start they will come hunt us down and tie us up in our creepy basement!
My friend and I walked from my house to downtown today. It has awesome shops and trendy little restaurants and bakery's (two Starbucks!) They call it ego ally and it's easy to see why. Lot's of yachts and super expensive clothes, but still a really nice place to go hang out for a while.
We found out that we are literally the lowest ranking family living on the entire Yard, which we both find hysterical! I joke with Bill that in the mornings when he is in uniform and everyone is heading to work, he will have tennis elbow in his saluting arm before he even gets to the car! But hey, it is pretty cool that we are paying the cheapest rent!
Z started at her new school today! She was really excited to go after meeting some of the neighborhood kids, so we decided to put her in right away. It is a great school, and we feel really lucky that she gets to go. The principal met her at the door and introduced her to her new teacher, who than took her on a little tour before meeting up with the rest of the class. The teacher had assigned a "buddy" for her the previous day (who has the same name as Z) so right away she would have a friend and somebody to help her get into the routine. She was beaming ear to ear when we left so I am sure she will love it! J also seems to be loving having the TV and toys all to himself (and I am pretty sure he stole some candy out of Z's trick or treat bucket)
I will post some pics. of the area when I get a chance. In fact maybe that should be our next little 5 things thing. Maybe we can take pics. of our favorite spots around town! I would love to see everyones towns, and what their favorite places in them are!
What's every ones plans for Thanksgiving? I feel very behind this Holiday season, I have not planned or purchased anything!!!
Time to walk down and pick up Z!
Have a great Thursday!
