Today has been a very relaxing day for Tim and I, he was given the day off since he had to work on his birthday(Wednesday). It's not that soldiers usually get their birthdays off but Tim wanted to take Wednesday off and wasn't able to since it was the first day back after a 4 day weekend.
Anyway, it's been really nice having him home and being able to just be with each other. Usually on his days off we are on the base getting things done. We did have to have our apartment inspected today by the first Sargent so that it could be approved for OHA(Overseas Housing Allowance) now it just needs signed by the commander. At the moment we are digging into our own account for a $1200 apartment, so it'll be good to have money to spend on things other then rent.

Tonight we are going over to Lloyd and Gina's for a house-warming party, they just moved into their apartment this week. They're living in the building we want to be in it's more expensive but much nicer then where we are. Our apartment is in a convenient location(the base is just across the road from us) but our building has a horrible smell from all our neighbors having a ton of dogs, I think the guy just next door has over 10 dogs. The inside of our apartment is just fine, but our neighborhood is a little run down looking, very trashy. We would like to move to a nicer place once our 1 year lease is up here.
I don't mind the apartment itself though, there are some nice features(it's completely furnished). We have a huge armour in the bedroom, and a pretty makeup vanity. There's a security camera in the hall so whenever anyone rings our doorbell the screen on our wall will turn on to show who's there, we can also pick up the phone to talk to them. Our living room came with a big screen TV, but then we only have a washer, no dryer. The washer has a cycle on it that dehydrates the clothes but then you have to hang everything to dry so that's just annoying. I don't think the washer works correctly anyway it just doesn't seem as though things come out as clean as they should. Other then that though, the size is just fine for the two of us.
