Where have I been?

Dang, it's been a long time since I've said anything to ya'll! Doesn't that sound like a true American hick's accent? Hahahaha! Seriously though, what's been going on? Since we last spoke, a lot has happened. Between being offered a job, getting our household goods delivered, visiting the states and cleaning up after my husband; I've been extremely busy. On the bright side, we finally have our family reunited and ready to start this adventure, whole and happy. It has been a really rough transition for the both of us, but receiving our goods from home really helped. You never really know how much you take your material items for granted, until you go two months without them. Also, pets! They really bring a different kind of energy to the home. Mike's rabbit Peter is doing well in his room and Archer has become quite comfortable here in the house in Germany. The ride here was interesting, but I will get into that later. I have my Xbox, kitchen items a...

So where do I start?

This is a photo of the Rhine River in Germany. It is the border on the west coast of Germany, separating the country from other countries like France, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Belgium. It is a beautiful sight! One that I will be seeing in another month or two. My husband's FDS or first duty station is Grafenwoehr/Vilseck Germany. He also discovered that he is assigned to a unit that is most likely deploying sometime this summer. So within a week I found out we were moving to Germany, I quit my job, and I discovered that there was a huge possibility of deployment in the very near future. All things that I never would have expected to happen in my life a year ago this time... And all I hear is "That's the Army!".  So now where do I go from here? I have been reading, doing research, shopping, spending countless amounts of money doing paperwork and I still feel as though I know nothing. I am waiting for the movers to schedule a time to come and pack all of our bel...

Bumps in the road...

So for the past ten days we have been finishing up in-processing and moving into our home. It is beautiful two bedroom townhouse, with all new fixtures, appliances, hardwood floors and tons of storage. It is temporarily furnished until some of our things arrive or until we have our own furniture. Turns out, having furniture is much more helpful than I thought! ;) There is also a resource called The Lending Closet on base. We fill out our information, go through their inventory and just take what we need. After signing for the items borrowed, we keep them until our household goods arrive. It is pretty great actually and a huge money saver. There is absolutely no sense in purchasing new pots and pans, dishes, and glasses when I literally own everything already. I'm totally thankful for that!! Onto the next bit of information- keeping it positive! The area of Germany in which we are located is Bavaria. Bavaria is not only famous for its beer, but it is famous for its beautiful ...
