and other German (or not) happenings
All the Germans on post are very kind. Every last one wished us a happy Thanksgiving last week even though it’s not something they celebrate. My favorite was the man I spoke to to come fix our dryer! He said “haf a heppy… uhhhh… tanksgiffing? Ja.” Loved it! That’s why I think every German person who says their English is not so good, or they only speak a little bit, is full of it! Try hearing my German! I’m still trying to master “may I have” cause it’s full of all these forward facing vowels… ARG!”
Has it been that already?
I arrived in Germany a week ago today and I cannot believe how much has happened and how differently time feels now that I’m here. It’s almost three o’clock and there is about an hour and a half of daylight left in the day. The light is dim enough outside, that my brain is telling me to start cooking dinner, even though my stomach is saying “Shut-up! You just ate lunch!”
and other sleepy ramblings
So here I am in Deutschland FINALLY! It was like the dam that was holding in all my emotion broke when I saw Cody! I caught a glimpse of him as he ran around the bus that had just dropped us off and my eyes instantly welled with tears!
This ancient army wife motto has been mine own motto all along (well, kinda)
After all this waiting and wondering over when I will leave, and worry about the dogs, packing, unpacking, packing again, and many, many heartfelt good byes, the day is finally here!
and on ten years
I have three day left in America. Tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. THREE! So much has been happening over the past week that it’s hard to keep up or even remember, but I’ll try…
No, for real, am I?
I feel like I’m in a dream; numb, surreal, and discombobulated. Everything has happened so quickly in the past two weeks, that it just seems to blur together the way a dream does once you awake.
