This crazy, busy life...

We were talking last night about what all we wanted to include in our family blog. We have so many friends and family out there who are always asking about us and emailing/calling us, and with the time difference we will have in Germany, we felt a blog might be our best option.

Here's a little background:

Most of you know we have been with the Army for a little over 12 years now. And Uncle Sam has definitely sent us to some great places. We LOVED Hawaii! And we are secretly hoping to be back in San Antonio some day. We are so thankful for our 6 plus years in Arkadelphia so far. I'm not so thankful for the 10 month deployment to Iraq but that came and went very quickly. Now we look back on it and it seems unreal that he is really still supposed to be there! We were very excited to find out around Christmas time that we will be moving to Stuttgart, Germany. Ronnie will leave in early May and Neeley and I will fly out around mid June. WE ARE SO VERY EXCITED! Oh.My.Gosh! I seriously cannot even begin to describe to you our mixture of emotions. We talk about this every day. We are excited but also very anxious apprehensive, and I must admit even a little bit scared. But what better way to get to see those part of the world than on Uncle Sam's dime. We hope to be able to document every move we make with this blog. Come back often for fabulous pictures of our adventures in getting everything done to get to Germany as well as our adventures when in country.

Tomorrow we get to make the lovely trek to the Air Force Base to update my id, get our no fee passports, take our sweet little Anna Banana in for her exam, and hopefully grab a yummy lunch at The Purple Cow. Believe it or not, we all three love this place. :) Will let you know how that goes. We have to get up bright and early in the morning. Our first appointment is at 10 am and I am not looking forward to that part.
That's all for now!
