Sometime in the next day, or week, or so we'll board a plane and eventually end up somewhere in the states.
We'll be flying Space A... a neat little perk when you're closely associated with the military... You get to fly for next to nothing, but there's no guarantee of when or if you'll fly. You just have to show up for Roll Call and hope there's a seat for you!
Crazy.
I'm trying hard to be ok with the fact that I don't know anything. It's a situation that is completely out of my hands. I have no control.
All I know is that at some point we will be home... We will land on US soil, and make our way to the deep South. We'll stop at Sonic for slushes, and maybe have some good BBQ for dinner.
The plan, and boy, is it ever flexible, is for us to get to the states. I'll probably stick around for a week or so and spend some time with my Momma, (or MomMom) and then I'll head back to Germany. The boys will spend a few weeks with David's mom, MeMe. After a few weeks, MeMe will take the boys to MomMom, and they'll spend a few weeks with her. I'll come back to the states and spend another week or so running errands and soaking up as much of the South as I can... including Target, and Old Navy, and WalMart. Then we'll start the trip back to our home here in Germany.
I'm already missing David and we haven't even left. But I know that the alone time he and I will have will be so worth the crazy adventure I'm about to take with these boys.
While I'm in Germany without children, I plan to organize the house, and label everything, and put reminders everywhere. I hope to make it to Ikea one weekend with David and check things off our evergrowing list.
I'm so full of emotions right now that I can't even think straight.
I hope we make it on a flight tomorrow.
I hope the boys are really, really good on the plane.
I hope to be full of patience if we don't make it on a flight.
And if we do, I hope I am patient with our boys for the 9 or so hours we'll be on the same plane.
I hope that once we get to the states, that I can meet up with my parents easily.
And I hope that I can get just the tiniest bit of sleep tonight....
I will update more when I know more.
For now, I'm going to finish packing and maybe make a bowl of ice cream!
