I'm freaking the flip out! Calm me down please!

OMG we are supposed to fly out to Germany on the 28th. So far however we are not on the hubbys orders. So we are waiting to hear back from Germany! WTF! Right now we are at a stand still. I cant do anything and its driving me crazy! I want to pull my hair out! Literally! Less than 3 weeks and we have not contacted the company that picks up our household goods...our car needs taken to port..we need our no fee passports done. None of this we can do without these damn orders! My landlord called tonight and she has a new tenant to move in on the 1st because we were supposed to be flying to Germany. Gah! So I am going to have to hurt someone if we dont get these ammended orders. We called the airline today and found out that our flight time is full and we cant fly our pets with us. Grrrrrrr. So we have to have a new plan. Also they are going to cost 400 dollars to fly. I am aggravated, and irritated, that we are at this point! Trying to stay positivr but its hard. Trying to give my worries to God but that to is hard when the hits keep coming. :(

He's Home

We finally made it home, and I have my husband with me. It feels amazing to fall asleep with him and wake up next to him in the morning. There has been so much emptiness, and loneliness over the past 8 months. Having him here seems to erase all of that. I feel blessed to have my husband, and my daughter. I know that with them I can walk through life. I am excited for our future.

We're going to fight

GAH!!!!! We found out today that Jason may not be able to leave Ft. Sam. Jason graduates tomorrow, and is supposed to leave with us to drive home. However the Army says "NO"! He got his paper orders on Monday and they said "Unaccompanied pending medical screen". So I sent the EFMP papers through fax on Tuesday and they were sent to Germany (i guess). Jason also had to extend his contract for 2 months, so the new prders had to be done due to that also. So we find out today that he will have to stay here until the new orders are cut. That is such an inconvienence!!! We are already so strapped for cash with this trip and the upcoming move. Now I am going to have to figure out how to pay for more hotel rooms, food, and gas. If his orders dont get cut tomorrow we will have to stay through the weekend until Monday. My daughter is already missing 4 days of school this week due to the original dates for this trip. I dont want her to miss much more school. Jason is supposed to report for hometown recruiting on Monday also. I am so frustrated! Also I sat for 3 hours today waiting to see him for "family day". We finally got him and he had to be back in 2 1/2 hours! We hardly got to see eachother at all. I am ready to throw a temper tantrum due to all of this! How long can they keep my husband? Also I would go ahead and leave to drive home tomorrow, but we cant afford to fly Jason home later, and the Army wont pay for his travel home. Pisses me off!

Traveling to TX and other stuff....

I left yesterday to journey to San Antonio TX to pick up my hubby. It was a 900+ mile trip...GAH! Me and Noelle left yesterday at 6 a.m. and stopped in Mt Pleasant, TX for the night after 8 1/2 hours. Yesterday the car ride went really smooth. I didnt have much trouble staying awake. We stayed in a Comfort Inn and the front desk lady was the nicest lady I have ever met. She acted like she really liked her job. You dont run into many poeple who genuinely like their job anymore. She really made us comfortable and Noelle loved her. She gave Noelle free popcorn and cookies, so of course Noelle thought she was nice. We got up and ate breakfast at the hotel. Noelle had a huge waffle, in the shape of TX. We thought that was really neat and took a picture of it. Noelle also got to see her very first palm tree and thought that was awesome. We got up and finished our trip this morning at 8:30 a.m. We arrived at our hotel at 3 p.m. The GPS took me off of the interstate and onto some crazy highways through little podunk towns. Got to San Antonio and it is crazy busy here. Cars flying everywhere! Tomorrow I have my fingers crossed that I will get to see my hubby, but its the Armys ultimate decision. Hoping we get to see him and get our No Fee passport ordered.
We have gotten some stuff done for our upcoming trip to Germany. Jasons orders are in the process of being ammended, so we can fly with him. We have our plane ticket booked! Its all becoming more real. Its scary but exciting!
