Hi! I'm currently not at Bliss... But my husband was stationed there and when he deployed I moved back home to wait it out and since he'll be getting out shortly after he returns we figured it was better for the kids and I to be with family, instead of alone, and then move up anyway.
What do you think of FB? Are you on post or off?
Quoting lilmamair:Hi I'm at bliss and have no friends here really. My name is Evelyn and I have a 3.5 year old
BTW I love the flat husband dad what a great idea. I am off post if you like desert and hispanics then you should be fine. I'm not happy here too many issues of mine not being taken care of. I am bipolar and having a hard time getting treatment, the unit isn't supportive. I am in the middle of addopting our baby and texas takes 6 months for the bio parent to take babies back. I'm not big on desert as I deployed twice and have flash backs. It's a border town and so we have purchased two guns and getting a concealed carry liscense. I'm not taking any chances with our daughter. some other woman love it here. Realestate is inexpensive, and when you come I'll be here to chat. Of yeah lots of little flea markets which is good.

haha glad to hear another hater of El Paso! I was there a year and a half (roughly, a flew back to NY a lot for personal reasons), and hated it the entire time. We took DS to a 'train museum' once and it was the tiniest freakin thing, and we drove next to the border on our way to get there. I was like, "What's that big fence for? ...WAIT. OMG IS THAT MEXICO???" and then was very shifty in my seat. Being that close to Juarez really freaked me out. (DH took me out just over the border to NM and taught me how to shoot, aim, load, and whatever. Not a gun fan, but I felt a little better knowing how to work the guns in our home) And I hate the heat. Like hate it. If it's 75, it's too hot, so of course the majority of the time I was there I was sprawled out in the living room in my underwear blasting the AC. It was just awful. If we went anywhere, the second we got home, I would strip down. haha
6 months for the bio parents to take the baby back?! EEK!! That seems like an awful long time! I wish you the very best!!

eek =[ well i hope the next few months really fly by!! (Heck, the next year and a half too for that matter! lol)
I can't imagine Ft Bliss helping or even having no effect on your flash backs =[ It's gotta be like a constant reminder? That's really tough, I'm really sorry you have to endure that.
And from Hawaii? UGH! Go from Paradise (or something, I've only seen pictures) to the armpit of the US? That's awful!!
Quoting lilmamair:
I'm the same way about juarez. I really don't like it, but it doesnt help they moved us from Hawaii to here. I have lost around 20 lbs because of the mental issues and the nervousness of the bio-mom. I don't care for the heat either, or the flash backs fort that matter. He has to reenlist the end of 2014 so we won't be here longer than we have to. Yeah the 6 month thing drives us crazy, one time she told us she didn't like where we took olivia and seemed to think she had that kind of say. So we walk on egg shells correcting her on those things because she's pretty immaature. Just can't wait til august
