First Day




Our family was so excited when Flat Lucy arrived. We picked her up in our mailbox on our nightly walk after dinner. We met Lucy while we were stationed together at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. We are really good friends and we're so happy she picked us to send Flat Lucy to. My name is Anna and I'm 7-years old. My little sister is 1 and a 1/2, her name is Caitlin. My mom's name is Lauren and she is also my teacher because I'm homeschooled. My dad's name is Juan and is a soldier in the US Army.

There is a lot to do in El Paso, Texas, which is the city we live in. Actually, we live on Fort Bliss which is an Army post and home of the 4th Armor Division which is where my dad works. Fort Bliss is one of the biggest military installations in the United States and is combined with Biggs Airfield where President Obama flew in to for a visit not too long ago.

El Paso has a sister city, too! Juarez, Mexico is just across the border about 10 minutes from our house. But, we would never take Flat Lucy there because it is the most dangerous city in the whole world!! Luckily, El Paso is very safe and is actually the third safest city in the United States. Since Fort Bliss is so big, there are a lot of Army soldiers around to keep us safe, including our dad :)

We started talking about what things we might do while she was visiting... birthday parties, cheerleading and tennis practices, doctor's appointments, trick-or-treating! She is going to have a great time at the Torres House :-D
