Two years ago today we boarded that plane to Germany. As most of you know, we "put in" to leave 30 days early next summer so we should be leaving sometime around the 2nd week in July. For months now, I have been counting down to July 9, not that that is the exact date that we'll leave but it should be close.
So, we reached July 9 and I was filled with joy and thrilled for about two weeks and then it hit me...this is coming to an end and as hard as it has been, it hasn't been all bad and I will miss some things, some people and I hate goodbyes and change. I know where I'm going back to and certain aspects of that won't change but I know many things will. Three years is a long time to be away. There are also a couple of huge trials that we will be facing almost immediately when we hit the DC area...things that we can't worry too much about over here so we try not to.
James' position has been posted and we are starting to hear "bits and pieces" about the time off he has earned when we leave here and the fact that we don't have to fly to DC first after all. So, my MD friends, looks like we're going to fly right over and join our families in Utah before eventually making it to MD sometime mid-August. Please don't take it personally.
Until later,
Emily

That is fantastic news! Sad for everyone in Md but your families have gotta be over the moon. Yeah!
To all who could wonder if this Mom/ Grandma is ready for them to be back in the states YES and coming home here first is great. Tailer is going to join us too. Your Dad said 4 1/2 hour flight is nothing compared to the 17 or the nightmare of 25 hours. We are counting down the months too. Hug the boys and take care. Love Always Mom
We will still be planning a return party!
