moving again

Well well well. I am still following Keri, and now i have a new friend on here i am also following. and then Sandra bullocks sister is on here too..she is a chef of pastry- and I'm addicted to her page too. so here i go. I'm gunna write again. one year later.
dads girlfriend-now wife- actually did die, and i did attend her funeral.
i saw Keri and Erin. woot woot!!!!
we visited st. louis.
we saw amelia earharts birthhome and toured it.
we went to a million outdoor malls.
we have had 3 surgeries in 8 months.
Kansas has been amazing.
family time galore! if your a military wife- u will know exactly what that means. there is no family time unless the Army issues it. and usually the Army does not. the first few months i never saw Ed, but after Thanksgiving, he was out of his hole in the basement where he goes to study. he was out of that hole, and with us. helping me clean and take care of the kids. and yes we can all *sigh* cause it was great. it IS great. we have not left yet. however every conversation is about us leaving. the plans we are making. the things we have to do and the stuff we have to throw away. how many days are left. how many weekends. what we can still do here. what we can visit. if we have time. do we have time? not so much. because moving to Germany is no small feat. and i have no small feet. (couldn't help that one sorry.)
we are not just moving to Germany. first we are moving to Virginia for 10 weeks. without our stuff. our stuff is moving to Germany in 4 weeks. bye stuff. bye blankets, and toys, and furniture. bye computers, and coffee pots. bye food, and bathtub toys. bye grill, and bye bed. we wont see you again for months and months and months. we don't know when we will meet again. it could be 6 months. it could be 3. it could be 10. as my heart starts racing faster and faster. omg. what are we going to do???!?!?!?! panic ends. *deep breaths*
we will live on post in a fully furnished town home on the navel base in Norfolk, VA. we are ALLOWED 500 pounds to come with us. i wonder how much 500 pounds is. i mean really. how am i supposed to know??!!! then they will come to VA and take that too. when we leave. ed will graduate from this class in VA on Sep 4. then we decided, the smart people that we are: we should go on a vacation after. and visit our family cause God knows I'm not flying back home with 3 kids on a 10 hour flight. so we will go to new york for about 5 days. then go to milledgeville to visit and spend a very long 3 weeks saying goodbye. the hope is- we will be so SICK of each other...that i will be looking forward to leaving for 3 years and never coming back. :)
then we will fly out of Atlanta, and my van will ship to Germany. we will arrive the next day- my van will not be as lucky. it will take 45 days for my van to get there.
right now we are learning the language, studying the international drivers licence test, and following others that have gone before us.
this whole Germany thing was my idea.
and i cant wait.
and I'm excited.
but i would be lying if i didn't say the prospect of a little (well not so little but so what) southern girl like me living in a foreign country doesn't scare the beejeesees out of me. i have always wanted to write beejeesees. but i didn't think i would spell it right. and i don't think i did. but whatever. my dream has come true.

much love- and thanks for following me. i will be here often. and inviting others to join me, it looks like the internet will be my only source of communication for quite some time.
