Being Optimistic

For those of you who know me I wasn't exaclty thrilled about being stationed over sea's. Well, I have decided it will be a great experience for Brandon an I! I know all the things I will miss over the next 3 years...my neice Emily will be 8 years old and in the 1st grade, my neice Kaydence will be 4 years old and about to start kindergarten, she probably won't know who we are when we visit sad :( But now that I really think about it, how many people can say they have been to Germany, France, Italy, Amsterdam, or Rome! I will get to experience so much and I can't wait! I have been doing some research on all the things I want to do over there....one of the places I want to go is the Neuschwanstein Castle! It is SO pretty, here is a picture....



Oh and Brandon comes home next Friday and I can hardly wait!! I know 4 months doesn't even begin to compare to what some of you girls have dealt with, but I am new to all of this and it seems like it's been FOREVER!!! He will only be here for 2 weeks, but I will take it!

My First PCS

So I just found out that my husband and I will be moving to Germany at the end of Jan. I am really excited but SO nervous! I don't know what to expect...I've never been more than a few hours away from my family before. I knew when he joined the army we would move I just never thought we would be moving all the way to GERMANY!! I am so proud of my husband though...he is finishing up ait right now in Oklahoma. He would be finishing Jan. 2nd but becuase he gets to come home for christmas (so glad) he will be done Jan 16! Then it's of to another country! He told me today that he earned some stripes and he is the platoon sargeant, not exactly sure what that means but it must be good cause he is happy about it! Well I guess thats all for my first blog!
