The Adams Army Life

Well, it’s official. The Army just approved my early return to the States. In January we made the decision for the kids and I to attempt a move back to Texas, as Christian will be deployed very soon. He will be away for 15 months (or more?) and when he returns, we are overdue to return to the States. So…instead of the kids and I sitting here and waiting for our move, we are going to go ahead and move back now. It’s not easy to get the Army to approve an early return, but we did get our official “yes” just yesterday. This is such a bitter-sweet decision for all of us (except for maybe Rowdy…he’s just happy to be where there is food!). The German way of life is a quiet one, but it has taught me to be still, which is a lesson I needed to learn. The coffee is wonderful, the chocolate divine, and Lena will never be the same without her German bratwurst! We have loved traveling here. France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and England were our destinations. I have completely fallen in love with France (we were not friends at first), but we are neighbors now and I so wish that I can visit my special Metz over and over throughout the rest of my life. Those frenchies are just too cool! Of course, more than anything, I will miss the most wonderful friends that I have been blessed with meeting here. God truly can put great friendships together in a short amount of time, and without these girls, my life would never be the same. I must end this for now, as this is one of the craziest weeks of our lives. Christian leaves here in just a few days.
Pray!
Blessings!
