It's a Plane

So, yesterday I took Jeremy to Houston Airport to send him on his way to Germany. He was so nervous and scared but I know it will be be great. That is always the feeling when moving to a new place. So we took Rebeka so she could say bye and finally get to see a airport and airplanes. So she was so excited!

Getting to the airport was no problem and we actually got there way early. So we went in..oh my gosh it seem like we parked so far away and his bags were heavy. But we got there and got him checked in. The lady was so sweet and did not charge him for his bags and even gave us a pass so we can go in to the gate to say goodbye. So we went straight in though the gates. We got to go walk around the airport and watched the airplanes take off and land. Beka was so excited. Then we went to have McDonald's for lunch cause it was J's last time to eat in America...lol.. Then it was time for his plane to board so we said our goodbyes and took some pictures. (Which I dont have cause I did not bring my camera in so they are on J's camera). I have to say it was a easy goodbye but hard cause I wanted to go with him. I know he is going first is a good thing and will make things less stressful for me.

So anyways he is now there and got settled in to his unit. When I talked to him he sounded very tired and said that he got no sleep on the plane due to 2 crying babies behind him. But he was okay. So now I just sit and wait. He is enjoying the in-processed and figuring out life in Germany. I can't wait to join him but hopefully it will be soon!

It's Time

So, I am writing this from the hotel room. We got the house completely clean out today and empty. The house looks so sad and not like my house. But tomorrow will be our last day to go into that house. Yesterday we stopped to check the mail one last time and there was a new resident card in there so it was like wow we really are moving.

So we get up early tomorrow to go turn the keys in and figure out the housing situations so we can clear this post. At this point I no longer has the anxiety from the move just excited and ready to move on. I am getting excited and making plans for Texas. Jeremy is looking forward to leaving the US and getting to Germany. Hopefully I wont be in Texas to long but long enough to have fun and enjoy some time with friends and family.

I am just going to miss having my "own" stuff. I will miss cooking in my own house with my stuff. I do get tired of living out of a suitcase. But, hey it is all good and I am glad to go home to Texas! No matter where in the world I go Texas will always be my home! lol

Goodbye

I think moving is finally starting to hit me and it is hitting me hard. I just don’t understand why I feel like this.

For years being here I always said I can’t wait to leave. I hate it here and so forth. Now that I only got like a week left I just want to cry and not move. Why is that? This is the first place other then when I left home that I feel this way. I guess Hinesville really grew on me and did become a home!

I start thinking about my time here in Hinesville and the friends I have made. While the first year or so I HATED it so bad but then this past year and half was a different school. I think of all the friends that help me survived this past year during with my first deployment. Thanks for everything you all have done and yall know who you are. Yall are the ones that I went out to eat with, to the movies, just hanging out, camping, beach, walking, scrap booking, letting me stay at your house, shopping and so much more.. THANKS you guys made this year so much more fun!

I have to say what help me get though last year was my calling in Nursery (at my church). I loved it and looked forward to each week. So looking forward to something every week helped the weeks go by. lol.. Yes sometimes I would leave on Sunday tired and stress but in the end it was worth it and I would do it again in a heart beat. Also to all the parents that are reading this that I taught their children in nursery this year or last year and in Sunbeams now: I want to say thanks for your support and letting me teach them. They are so sweet. I will miss their hugs and smiles and sweets prayers. They taught me so much. epically patience .lol but I love them and will miss them! And thanks to YOU - (you know who you are) that taught me what I needed to know to fulfill the calling. Thanks for examples you set for me! Love you!

Well, now that I am crying and not wanting to move now. lol.. Anyways I know this is sad to leave but this move is just opening a door to more things. I know this is I wish yall all the best! Good luck and please remember to keep in conact every though I am gone!

Savannah, GA

So, in December when Jeremy's company got home the Battalion had a drawing and I happen to win a basket full of relaxing items. It had your normal candles, bath stuff, but what really was a treat there was a gift certificate for a one night stay on the Mansion on Forsyth Park in Downtown Savannah and a $25 gift certificate to Oliver Garden. So we been so busy and did not think we would be able to use the stay. So we have kinda forgot about it until the other day when Jeremy found out that Friday was a day off and since to use the gift certificate it had to be Monday- Thursday. That would be perfect. So we went has a get away and to stay this is official are last trip to Savannah. That makes me kinda sad... :(

Anyways this Hotel is SUPER NICE but HIGH and EXPENSIVE. I would never stay here on my own dime.. Cause it was nice but too far from everything. After dinner we went back to the hotel and a few hours later we was thirsty and snacky but they had no venting machines and no stores around. Now in your room you did have a Minibar with $4.00 sodas and water and they had candy bars for $3.50. I just did without! We checked in then walked the mile down to River street and too all the main shopping and restaurants. It was a beautiful walk cause about every 2 blocks is another park to walk though. We also on the way walk though the Colonial Cemetery which is an old cemetery from before the civil war. It is a haunted cemetery and just wanted to walk though it during the day.

We was trying to find the Melting Pot to eat at but went the wrong way down the street and my feet was starting to hurt (dont wear new pair of sandals when you have to do alot of walking)

So we found Lady and Sons. For yall that don't know this is Paula Deen's Restaurant from the Food Network Show. But, our reservation was not for another 3 hours so we went down to River street and walk just a section of it.

I was not that empress by Lady and Sons. It was so loud we were on the 3rd floor and it was so loud and Jeremy got a bad headache that he could not think. The food was okay but not great. Afterwards I was so tired so afterwards we was looking at how to get back to the hotel not wanting to walk after dark, so we took a pedicab. I did not even know what a pedicab was but Jeremy wanted to do it and it was kinda cool. I felt bad for the guy that had to pedal us the mile trip and he try to talk to us about some of the history so it was kinda a tour too. lol

Anyways so that was pretty much our trip - today we just sleep in and got up and went to Oliver garden and came home.
