We're going to be "home-stuff-less" soon!





So after our TMO briefing yesterday and the email today the movers are coming to get our HHG's (house hold goods) on July 26-27. The FMO loaner furniture will be dropped off on July 28 and our UB (unaccompanied baggage) will be picked up on July 29.

So basically all the big stuff will go on the 26-27th, HARD UNCOMFORTABLE but greatly appreciated military loaner furniture will be delivered on the 28th, and the need "real soon" stuff will go on the 29th.

I am still waiting on a list from Bo about the UB stuff that needs to go because we have to separate that from the HHG. All I know for now is that it can be our bikes, Noah's crib, all of our linens, towels, dishware, pots and pans etc.

So now that we have all our dates in order I am MORE than ready to get this show on the road. My poor husband is stressed to the max! He has all this PCS stuff, regular work, school and the music ministry. We are basically rushing for the week after next to hurry and get here so that the hard part is over! Please keep us in your prayers as we embark on this crazy but very exciting new journey!

Edelwiess Germany for 4th of July


Our little man was jammed pack in the back seat. Needless to say we had to reorganize.




Oh how American are we?? We spent the 4th of July weekend in Germany on a military resort. LOL!







We had an amazing weekend with some amazing friends. You would think that it being 4th of July weekend that we would be hot and getting eaten by bugs. Just the contrary, we were FREEZING and chittering all night long. We had to lay Noah between Bo and I so that our baby would stay warm. There was "no rooms in the inn" lol the resort hotel was completely booked and we had driven 5 hrs to get there, set up our camp and we were not about to turn back.












We decided that this trip was strictly for camping even though there are some very exciting places we would like to go back and visit. Watching fireworks and eating Pizza Hut pizza was made our 4th of July weekend feel almost as if we were back in the states. The German community was so warm and welcoming it was a very different contrast to our Italian neighbors down south.

Since we left Italy on Saturday morning, Bo did a devotional service Sunday morning while we all sat around the camp fire. His devotional reminded us why we are here and what are we doing or not doing for Christ. It defiantly motivated me to hear my husband reading God's word, so passionately about winning people to Christ. It was defiantly one of the highlights of our weekend. I feel immensely blessed to have such a Godly husband.

We have a great deal happening in the next two weeks, considering we are PCSing in 7 more weeks. WOW!! It's going to be here before we know it!
