Keith will be home in 19 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids and I are so excited we can barely contain it! Everything has settled down considerable around here lately. My friend Kelly came back from her family emergency, so the kids aren't staying here anymore. Tyson is done with language and we're finishing up his math, so he's almost completely done with Kindergarten, my dad's spider bite is feeling much better and my grandma is about the same. I've cut almost all the stress I've had lately and it's made a world of difference. Now, I'm thinking about seeing my husband, making babies, spending family time together and our upcoming move, which is right around the corner! At least things have started to slow down and I feel at peace now that I know when Keith's coming in. I can't wait to see him. The kids and I have missed him so much. I'm starting to make piles in the house....Goodwill, express shipment, garage sale, long term storage and move. I'm starting to take down things we don't want anymore and things that are going into long term storage. Our spare bedroom looks like a war zone! We have every single room in our house to go through with a fine tooth comb. I am ready too! The kids have hit a growth spurt, so I've recently gone through their closets, but even that has to be redone. Anything too worn or ignored is going! The day after Keith gets home, we have to start the garage and storage shed. We'll be leaving that next two weeks for Omaha for our infertility stuff, so we will need to take all of his "Grandma Truck" stuff out to the farm. We want to have all that stuff gone through (which is A LOT) so that when we come back home, if I'm pregnant (God willing) Keith won't have to do all the heavy stuff by himself. We'll also need the room for storage (express shipment, Goodwill, move, long term storage, garage sale). As soon as we get home from Omaha, Keith is going to take the vehicle to the port in Texas to ship it off. I don't know what I'll do without my Excursion! When Keith gets home we'll start scheduling all of the movers (three times) to come. We're hoping to have all of our household stuff gone at the beginning of November so that we can get it earlier on the other side. So, as you can see, Keith will hit the ground running. That's not including the facts that he'll have to inprocess from his deployment just to turn around and out process for Germany, which takes a long time! We have so many "appointments" for everything that we don't have one single down day until we are on the plane for Germany! I don't mind though, I'm ready to leave and as long as Keith is home, I don't care if we're running to all of our appointments, packing, storing, sorting, moving, or staying in billeting, as long as he's by my side, I don't care. We're going to keep our Aero bed behind so that we can stay in the house as long as possible instead of billeting. It'll be like camping! I'm actually looking foward to it! I think the thing that will drive me crazy is having things taken down off the walls (already started), certain things gone for the express shipment (already started) and having my things in piles (already started). I am extremely OCD and those sort of things drive me nutty! I'm just trying to keep my eye on the final prize....family time! 19 days! 19 days! 19 days!
