The time has come.

Well here it is. All that is left is the suitcases we each have a possession of. Everything else is gone and with only the hope that we will see our belongings on the other side. We have had our last weekend here and we are saying our farewells. It's time to move on. It's been a great three years, and now looking back it has gone by so fast. We now sit in an empty house, just waiting. The waiting is killing me. I'm thankful we get to leave Germany just at the beginning of Biergarten season (that would be the beginning of summer). We leave on a good note. Three more days of school and four more days until we fly. it seems so surreal. Wow. We are going to be home by the weekend.
Today we fly. My excitement has been taken over by sentimentalism. I now find myself sad to leave. We have meant some wonderful people here and my kids have had the experience of neighborhood friends. It's a good time to go, as almost everyone is leaving this summer. As I leave my friends here, I return to the States to see friends from duty stations past. Seems as if I must say good-bye to say hello. My heart is filled with warmth from the experience we have had here. I loved the small town feeling and I'm sad to think this experience is a rare treat. As the sun rises on our last day here, I bit Germany farewell. It's time for the newest adventure. Goodbye and thanks for the memories.
