Ok, OK, OK... so we still have internet... looks like it will turn off Monday. Anyway, I got all the pjoto's that were on my camera and had them downloaded to a disk, then I put some on the photo page. Check 'em out at:

Most of the pictures are just us having fun. For Sammi's birthday we had a treasure hunt with location clues...fun fun!!! The last "treasure" was with daddy. I did take a couple of how I do my hair on an everyday. Well, I am off to cook up some din din.
Hope your day is filled with yummy good for you foods!

We are almost outta here
Hey guys, this'll probably be my last post until we are settled into Missouri. I will not be able to download any pictures until we get to missouri since I have not had whats on the camera copied to a disk yet, but it is on the to do list. We turn off the internet in about 5 days. MAYBE I will post here or there on vacation on the way, just so you die-hards can see where we are and what we are up to and so I can "unload" all of our travel "events" and follies. Maybe you can get a little chuckle out of our hardships...LOL.
Hope your day is going swimmingly (and I hope I am REALLY swimming in about 2 1/2 weeks)!!!!!!

Does it EVER Slow Down
Well howdy! So, we still have a computer. Brian decided to keep it here for the next shipment. I was actually looking forward to not having it anymore, thought its absence would help in slowing things down. Ah well since it is here, I am using it now too. So what is new.... ummmm almost all of my stuff is gone, which is great. Somehow mysteriously my house still gets cluttered. Maybe that is because nothing has a "home" so it just goes wherever. I did make a big mistake though. I shipped ALL of our coats. It was REALLY warm here and we were tired when we decided to just keep thick sweatshirts for everybody. Well guess what, this week it is supposed to snow (hasn't snowed all winter, but this week, after I ship our winter coats it will). I don't get cold so I am good, but our friend Dara has lent us jackets and hats and gloves for the kids. Which is great because I can't even go to the PX to buy any cause they aren't selling them anymore. So a big THANK YOU DARA!!!
Our Vehicle was shipped last Monday and once again Dara is being a GREAT friend and has lent us her van (she has another vehicle for her family). For the most part we walk everywhere, but when we need to drive, it fits us all.
We only have 23 days left in Germany and I am feeling the pressure of all I need to do before then. For example, the military only paints houses every 3 years. Since we have been in Germany they have moved us into three different homes. We have only been in this one for a little over a year, so it is NOT scheduled for repainting. That means we have to paint, or pay for damages (nothing is damaged, but obviously the walls don't look freshly painted). We have decided not to stress too much so we are going to go ahead and pay them to paint, but it costs more if all the holes from hanging pictures are still present. So, we are going to fill all the little holes and the couple of big ones from our larger paintings that hang. Also, there is HUGE calcium build up from the calcium filled water here and I gotta scrape it off the fixtures in the bathrooms and kitchen. Other than that though, there is not much that needs done to the house, just a sweep. Actually after really thinking about what I have to do, it doesn't really amount to much...LOL. Maybe I am so used to being busy, my mind can't accept chilling out...LOL.
Well, I was about to add more pictures to the picture page, but I just discovered that while I have my camera, Brian shipped the cord to attach to the computer. This means I am gonna have to buy 1-2 more memory cards to take pictures while we move. Lovely...LOL. Ah well, at least we didn't ship the passports...LOL!!!
So no new pictures until May, unless I go to the picture place and get them to transfer the pictures to a disk.....hmmmmm... I may do that. Well, thanks for listening to me ramble!!!!
Ummm... I hope you don't accidentally throw away anything you need today!!!

No Time to Check for Typos...
OKay quick shorthand update.
We FINALLY got orders. We shipped the SUV today. Our Household goods ship on the 15th and 16th (for you non-military folk that is the bulk of our stuff). So no computer from the 15th of this month on. However, we will go to the library and such to occasionally check the emails. Our Hold Baggage (the rest of our stuff, like clothes, a small TV, a few dishes etc.) ships on April 4th. We will sit in billiting (on post hotel) here for a full week because of the holiday weekend and then we will be on the plane on April 11th. Before going to Missouri we will be taking a little holiday in Florida (shhhhhhh don't tell the kids, it is a surprise) and then we should arrive in Missouri on April 16th. I already called and it looks like we will be in housing the very next day.
A real brief statement about my health. I was having some heart "issues." two nights in a row it would go really fast, skip a few beats then slow then normal and so on. Both times lasted about I don't know 30-45 minutes??? I went to the doctor but since they didn't record it on an EKG they are not sure what happened. 2 weeks earlier I had a cold and they think it may have "traveled" to my heart. I told them I had been under a lot of stress (this all happened 4 days after Brian got home) and perhaps that was it, but they said no it was not presenting as anxiety, or stress. I had two x-rays done and an ultrasound of my chest area and for a brief period of time, right after an "episode," there was a little bit of fluid in my lungs, so that I guess points to the illness thing. Anyway, I only mention this because some of you knew about it and I hadn't given an update. ANyway as it stands now, I am allowed to go back to exercising, I am to start easy and if it happens again, get to the hospital much quicker so they can catch it on an EKG. I am hoping it doesn't...LOL!
Outside of all the apointments for the move, everything is pretty peaceful around here. I can't wait until all our household stuff is gone. We will have almost nothing in the house and things will really slow down and we can have some good family time! Now, if I can just make it to Friday...LOL!!! Wish me luck!
I hope you have a slow day and soon!!!!

I Finally Finished It!
I only have a moment, so I guess I'll have to update you all later. However, as you can see, I did finish Brian's video. He picked out the music and it is reflective of how he felt during the deployment. Gumpa, Grandmom and Grandpa and Toni: You will be getting an IMPROVED version of the one posted here, in the mail soon. We have just returned from mailing it to you. Enjoy guys!
Whoops, I forgot to mention... while it is NOT "sung", the "S" Bomb is in written word a couple of times in the video because I used Brian's words to describe things. Hope it doesn't offend your eyes...LOL!!!

I'm Still here
Okay a super quick update. I have a lot to say to you about the stuff going on here (no drama, don't worry, just daily hum drum stuff), BUT for those of you that know my husband, when there is time for someone to be on the computer, that someone is him. So, I have not really had access to get on the computer much. He doesn't get on much either, but like I said, when nothing is going on, it is him on here not me much. HOWEVER, I did FINALLY get the video of his past year done last night!!! NOW, I have to clean it up for online (i.e remove all visible last names). I'd like to tell you I will get it done today, but it isn't going to happen. Brian returns to work on Monday, so I should be able to get it done soon after that. So once work starts I should post more often!
TOODLES!!!
