Returning Home from Germany

After being stationed overseas, the return home might seem overwhelming.  There is a lot to think about and some of the transitions may not be as smooth as you would like.  We were in Germany for four years and have been back in the US now for a little over a year and a half. [...]

The move, or so we think

As I write this, today is October 1st and we are getting the house prepared for the movers to arrive in just 4 days.  At this moment we still don’t know 100%  if my husband will be checking out of his current base on the day we’ve all planned.  Hard copy orders have been in our [...]

Traveling Across the States

So the time came to make the drive across the states. Since I left GA early, my husband met me up in VA where I was spending some time with my family before the trip across. Turns out my family had decided to keep the boys and hubby’s family took our daughter so that we [...]

Saying Good-Bye

The house was packed up and it was time to leave…. wait, not it wasn’t time to leave. We saved all of our cleaning for after the house was packed up, so we were scheduled to stay an extra week in the house after pack out. Of course our first order of business once the [...]

Packing Out

So more than a few weeks ago we had the house packed out. Since we’d never done it before, we tried to prepare the best we knew how. We made sure to eat all of our perishables and use all of our cleaning supplies and such. We set aside what we needed to take with [...]
