Countdown ..... 1 more week

So here we are....1 week to go until we leave germany for good.
The move went smooth so far, but since it is the first PCS move for me, I stressed out a little I think. I hope that no one around me really caught it, but I was pretty nervous. The movers were here for 2 days. In those 2 days I felt the worst because I kept thinking that I should check the house again for clothes or items I could get in my suitcase. Luckily did DH take care of all of that. He stayed with the movers while I moved with Isabella to our friends' house ( closer to base and away from the moving process ).
We are now here for a few days and appreciate it a lot. This is so much better than army lodging. We BBQ, hang out, watch movies in the evening and just have a great time. We are trying not to become a burden though, since we pretty much "moved in" with lots of suitcases and a 5 months old baby. Ha!
Isabella does pretty good I think. She was a little off that day we came over here, but readjusted right away. It is like she has never been anywhere else. :) We now just have to do a few more things, as filling up the oil tanks in the house, sending off a few things. My parents are planning on coming over one more time to say good bye. I am looking forward to that day but I am not if that makes sense. :( I know that we all are going to cry. I know that it has been hard on my mom especially with Isabella now. I know that I am taking her ( so far ) only grandchild with me, which she has looking forward to for so long :( :( We did make plans for Xmas though, and they are seriously planning to visit us for a few weeks. It is just odd and a weird feeling. I do start to see some things a little different just like going down to the city and realizing I won't be back for a long time.....and such things. DH and I both agree that we are going to miss our friends like crazy. I am not sure if we will find such great friends in TX since everything is going to be a little different than here in germany. I love the group and support we have here......But......we made our decision for good reasons and we are happy that we got a non deployment position for now.
Anyhoo..just random thoughts of course. I am looking forward to move and see family in the states nevertheless. We won't be in our new house until June, and took leave to see family. I am really happy and can't wait.
More soon..... :)
