Moving, we have a love hate relationship

There is a thread of anxiety in everything I do lately. I know that almost everything we own is going to be packed up on Tuesday 20 and shipped off never to see it again, well until early/mid December. I need to have the basic things for me, Dave, Ava, YW In Excellence, the camping period that we will have in an empty house for a week and a half, the TLF (temporary living facility) we will have in England, and anything I can think of in between. Oh and everything has to be washed and cleaned, which means the couches need to be vacuumed, the spiderwebs sucked up in the laundry room, dust bunnies swept away from under the beds, every last dish clean and in it's place and who knows how much black dog hair is floating around? It could make a mother go crazy, but I don't go crazy because I know there are thousands of families that make this PCS (permanent change of station) move every year. It just so happens that this is only my second, and who knows how many more I have to go. I only hope that I get better with every one. We are taking our computer with us but will have to place it on the floor and sit on the floor to use it. So I will post updates as soon as I can. There won't be much to do, or play with once everything is gone so Ava and I might have to become very creative.

I am excited for this change in life, the 4 years we have spent here have been full of awesome adventures and family milestones. We loved living in Germany and I know England will bring even more memories.
