...yet it seems like FOREVER until I see my JerryGiant again! Jerry left for Germany on Sunday, March 23. Two weeks from today, I will be completing my last day at work in Asheville! I can't even believe it's coming so quickly! Anyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty organized and a planner. So it should come as no surprise that the house is pretty much ready for the movers, despite the fact that they won't be here for another 10 days!
Yesterday, the army booked my flight to Germany. After spending three weeks with my family in New England, I will be flying to Germany at the end of Mother's Day, May 11. My mom is happy that I'm going to stay through Dad's birthday and mother's day, but Jerry's a little disappointed that I won't be joining him in Germany sooner. And I feel torn, wanting to have it all, be with both my husband AND my family.
Jerry moved into our apartment today, which is very exciting. Initially, we expected to be living in temporary housing until our permanent military housing was available. But we lucked out and Jerry moved into our apartment and is getting everything set up for us. It's exciting because it will be the first place that is truly ours. In Asheville, Jerry moved into my place and we made it ours. But this is a place that we will set up together from the beginning. The place where, with luck, we'll start a family. So it's very exciting for us both! If only I could get there sooner!
I'd intended to be better about updating this blog, but I've been swamped with preparing for the movers, wrapping up everything in Asheville, and preparing for the move to Germany (including looking for and applying for jobs). I hope to get better though. In preparing for the move, I've been doing some (too much!) shopping, which has included buying a new camera! When I went to Jerry's graduation, I made the alarming discovery that my camera phone took better pictures than my camera! That's embarassing! So I replaced my Exilim with a Nikon 10MP cute camera! So hopefully the blog will soon be seeing the benefit of a better camera. Once I'm in Germany I expect to be frequently updating the blog and including pictures of the beautiful country I will soon call home!
