"Guten Tag"

Well greetings from Germany! I know I've been here for a week now but for that week I have been doing nothing but improcessing, shopping and enjoying my husbands last few days.  Speaking of, I dropped my baby off today at his squadron and gave him is last see you later's before he leaves. I felt kinda silly because i was the only one crying but man i couldn't hold it in. We hugged and kissed and he was walking off and then turned around and ran back for one more, I am going to miss him so so much. On a better note because i really don't want that on my mind at the moment I took some people out of my life that have caused the only problems that I've had recently and doing that has lifted a blanket off my husband and my shoulders for sure. As for Germany.. well as of right now I have to say I am not a fan. Yes its beautiful but it is going to be extremely hard to get use to this culture. Every road sign (including on base) is German, theres round a bouts instead of stop signs, everyone in my town is german, i can't understand anything on menu's. I might just need time but I am definitely not a happy camper. I also am getting rid of my house because with my husband being gone for the next 9 months I am going to be in that huge thing alone..no thanks! Also since it took so long to ship my car I am stuck driving my husbands BMW and let me tell you I SUCK AT DRIVING STICK!!! I stall out everywhere and I'm really just uneasy about driving, its not safe, but i have no choice. I have a walk threw in an apartment thats perfect size on base tomorrow which is awesome because the wait is a month and i got it the next day, I must have some luck! I hope everything with that tomorrow goes well. My husband and I went to the BX this weekend to fight the crowds because we need some necessities for the house but ran into some amazing deals and we wound up getting a 40 inch TV for $299 and apple TV came free! I also got him a pretty sweet new knife and a macbook because he really needed a good laptop for his deployment. Anyways  I have been trying to take pictures of everywhere Ive been going but I'm really terrible at it haha. I do have a few pictures and I will leave you with them! I'll try to keep up on here more that hubby is gone but I can't promise!




These are all the K-town Christmas Shoppes downtown. 



OH! I forgot to mention instead of hot coco they have hot wine, with shots of whiskey...man these people can drink!

lump in my heart.

So again I was working twelves this week and man was it the wrong week to be doing that. It was my last free week not to be to crazy with PCSing, but of corse now it wasn't. I was working like a dog trying to get everything done and by the end of the work day I just wanted to sleep, and that I did I was asleep by 730 every night. It sounds pathetic but I really do get kicked in the butt working 12 hour shifts. With the days getting shorter I have so much on my plate now. I literally have something to do everyday this week.
Monday:bring car to california port.
Tuesday: TMO comes 
Wednesday: get the rest of my checklist done.
Thursday:final out
Friday:on a plane to Germany.
It seems so surreal to me. I still cannot grasp the feeling that I'm leaving this place,well at least not until today.
Today I did one of the toughest things I have ever had to do since leaving home. I gave Dozer away. I had a few options of what to do with him but I think I picked an awesome home for him. the lady is super nice and has kids that will love him more then anything. She also has a female pit that looks identical to him and they get along very well. It made it a lot easier on me but I hate the empty feeling i have with out him:(. other then find him a new home I gathered al my belongings and put them in one area for TMO. Man do I have a lot of clothes! And after running erons Trish and I went to her moms and we had dinner and played uno for a while with everyone. I am really going to miss it here just for the simple fact of her family. They are awesome and have excepted me as one of there own. A lot has happened this week that has put a perspective on things and has kicked me into sad mode about moving, but also happy that I will be with my amazing husband. So wish me luck for this week and after I'm settled i'll be sure to keep you updated!
My right hand man and best friend, forever and always<3
