Some random craziness

I was thinking this weekend about the crazy things we have seen since we have been here. What made me think of it was that we were out to eat and over the (MAYBE 30 minutes) course of one ice cream dessert there was a giant dog fight and a child was stung by a bee which resulted in much screaming and crying. It was chaos! We started talking about all of the things we have seen that made us go hhmmm. Here are a few:

Beer at the airport. at 730am.

Man-pris (men in capri pants) and this red striped sock/red heels mishap.

Dog in pajamas.

Nice fish net hose. And she's about 80 yrs old.

Slice of pig anyone?

Old Friend FOUND!

With the recent reunion and buzz on Facebook of the AHS Class of 88, reconnecting with old friends has been really great! I ordered a directory from the reunion people and in it (when it FINALLY GOT HERE-reunion 6/5, directory arrived 8/5.) I FOUND an old friend who was near and dear to me in high school. She worked at the dreaded Taco Bell with me (remember Albert and Chippy and Ron??) where she tailored her hideous polyester uniform to taper at the ankle. Ever the cool girl! We also had drivers ed together, I had a crush on her neighbor, another classmate, and I think she drove an older model mustang when she was working at the mall. Is that right? We were in the play Our Town together, and went to many drama tournaments our Soph/Jr years. Anyway, as often happens, we drifted and haven't seen or heard from one another since just a few years after high school. I'm so glad to have found this link.

HI NEATA!!!!

And then it was August!

I can't believe this is the last week of July! Where does it go? I've already been back with the 7th Signal Bde 2 months. Things are starting to gel, I'm working with both battalions as one gets ready to come home and the other begins to gear up to go.

As for us, my countdown on the side is not so accurate, and I may even change it when I get motivated. We are looking at just a little over 11 months now, and my planner gene is kicking in. I'm going to make a list of things to do each month to get us ready to go.

I'll post more tonight. Pictures of the Castle Illumination Tour we took this weekend. :)

Still here...

Just been I guess a little busy, and a little lazy. I know I haven't posted much lately, and for that I apologize. I will try to get better...not making any promises, though! :)

Love you dearly and miss you much. ~h

Not exactly true...

The counter says this: 395 days, 7 hrs, 57 mins, & 15 secs! (probably a bit less now)

But the truth is...we will probably be home this time next year!!! That's right, ONE YEAR to go. Our DEROS (Date Eligible for Return From Overseas) <--yes, I looked it up.--is 10 AUG 2009. Well, apparently the way it is done is that you usually take 30 days leave prior to flying out. That would put us at Aug 10 minus 1 month...that's...you got it, July 10, 2009. ONE YEAR.

In that time, we hope to fit in more skiing, possible trips to Prague, Rome, return to Paris, Greece, Austria...etc. We are also looking forward to a few visitors. So, my planning gene is kicking in and hoping to help the time fly until we get orders, move to the guest house (temporary housing between here and there) and get home!

SEE YOU SOON!!!

Berlin July 2008

Our friend Nancey came to visit last week, and the three of us went to Berlin. We had a great time exploring the city for 4 days! Stephen and Nancey went to the Neuschwanstein Castle the day before, but I was working, so I have no pictures of that. :(
Enjoy!

If this link won't get you there, give me a couple more days...I had to use snapfish because ordering prints was cheaper, but I will be putting them on kodak gallery, my old standby...

You Should Live in the Suburbs

Like many people, you like the city - but you don't want to live in it. For you, the suburbs is the perfect compromise. You can enjoy the city as much as you want, but you have a quiet, safe neighborhood to come home to.

Where Should You Live?

Girls night out

Last weekend I went with my old friends from 5th Signal to dinner and salsa. We didn't do any salsaing, but we watched people do it! A good time was had by all, and here is a picture as we began our adventure.
