I realize, my dear friends, that it has been almost 3 months since I have last updated you. The reason for this being that I have been non-stop busy for these 3 months. I have moved from my quaint little apartment in the city to my parents dainty little house 45 minutes from any civilization. The movers came and packed everything and shipped it off to Germany at the first of July resulting in me having to move home, or stay in an empty apartment alone. I realize how much I miss living in my apartment and out of my parents house. I haven't updated since early June so I have a lot to write and little space to do so. I wouldn't want to bore you of course! Anywho, JB came home June 16th and had to leave the 18th. Yes, he was home for 2 days. Talk about an angry wife. He wasn't even supposed to go to Germany without his family. Just goes to show how much the
Army civilians working for the Army really care about the family of their soldiers. The entire 3 months have been filled with nothing but disappointment, anger, tears, and attitudes between the civilians working for the Army and I. Maybe it's just that one base, you say? No, this is within THREE Army bases. Anywho, when JB came home, his wonderful family through us a reception seeing as how no one was able to attend our wedding in Tucson. It was beautiful! The weekend went buy entirely too fast before he was back on a plane heading to Germany. The months since then have been slow, dragging, depressing, and just plane sad. I am such a lucky woman to have an incredible family to catch me when I fall, and trust me, I have fallen plenty! Every time I slink into a small depressed state each time I hear bad news from the lack of compassion the Army has representing them, the fam is there, with tissues and ice-cream!
I have also started school. It's online schooling so that I may continue it whilst in Germany. I am taking Pharmacy Technician and medical transcription classes. Of course it's not what I
wanted to do with my life, but it take up time and keeps me occupied.
This week so far has been full of good news. JB signed for our house yesterday as well as our household goods coming in yesterday along with that and today I picked up our tickets! We leave on September 4th! FINALLY! After a long 3 month wait. However, we are not out of the water yet. I will not refrain from being nervous until I step foot in Germany!
Wish me luck!
