Between my Rock and my heart's place

The news came today that we might be moving. Not down the street, not the next town over, not even the next state over. No, the news came today that we might be moving to Germany. I am both excited and more than a little scared.

I'm excited because, how cool would that be! It's Europe! It's Germany! And the Army is going to pay us to go! Think of all the sights and places we'll get to see! And we'll be there for a few years (pro and con to that) so we'll get to take our time and really get to see everything there is to see. I'm also excited because I get to see it all with Chris. I always said I wanted to see the world with him and here's my chance to knock out a chunk! On the Army side of things, we are in need of a change..and this just may be it.

I'm scared, anxious, whatever you want to call it. Before we moved to Tennessee, I had never been more than 30 minutes away from my family and that wasn't until college! As of now, I am around 12 or so hours from them. Germany is considerably further, to say the least.

We've been in Tennessee for about 5 years now. So I have adjusted to the distance from family. The long drive home (that doesn't happen often enough), my daily phone calls with my mom, the emailing of pictures of Cam and our other adventures. We try to keep home close.

It's a lot to take in and it's not even a for sure thing yet. So, I may be getting all worked up for nothing. Wouldn't be the first time! :)

I'll keep you updated, I'm sure, as the details roll in.
Until then..let's go star wishing.
