Settling in

We are now settled into our new townhouse.  It is an ADA house even though the only disability is my deafness.  We do not qualify for this house but it was the only 4 bedroom available on post.  We are slowly weeding through our things, as we have gone from a 3000 sqft house to a 1600 sqft house!  We have TOO much stuff!  Colorado is beautiful.  There is so much to see and do here.  The only issue I am coming across is the fact that there are daily sirens to warn us of severe weather.  I cannot hear these sirens nor the voice after them that tells what the severe weather is.  Thankfully my children are home 99% of the time and they can hear what is being said.  The weather channel updates to my phone are not the same as the local sirens so that doesn't help me so much.  I also cannot hear our doorbell if my hearing aids are not in, and I can barely hear it when they are in.  This is going to be an interesting duty station for my ears to say the least.
