Alabama: The End

So here is the first update. Super late, but I'm sure you all expected that.

It starts on July 28.

After agonizing over what to wear to Jake's graduation ball I decided to go with my long black dress that I had bought for a previous ball. It didn't quite fit like it had two years ago but I thought I should probably go with the long, more formal gown, despite the fact that I should have lost about 5 lbs before squeezing into it. Turns out I felt overdressed for what turned out to be more formal dinner than ball. I could have been comfortable in my "little black dress" instead of feeling super uncomfortable and self conscious in the one I chose. Oh well!

Here's the best of the pictures. I don't like it but I thought I'd share it anyway.


August 1 + 2

And then it was time for the movers! Packers and movers to be exact. They were late on both days but got everything done. I wasn't as impressed with the packing skills as I was in Germany so we'll see how much the Army gets to replace this time around.

Day 1


Day 2


It was super hot on the second day and the two guys loading up the crates had sweat pouring off of them after only a few minutes. I felt so sorry for them! The couch ended up wrapped up but not in a crate because it's too long. I'm hoping it got lost and we get to buy a new one...

After Day 2 I sat around in an empty house with the pups while Jake finished outprocessing. Friday couldn't come fast enough!
