    Settling Down In Germany FINALLY *pics*

    Well, our furniture and other household goods finally arrive on December 15th after that whole mess up with the shipment! Our apartment is starting to feel like home. It is great to have my own stuff and be comfortable in my own house. I was miserable before that!

    I have been sick for abour 3 weeks now. Today was the first time in that long that I felt well enough to go out and walk the Draker. We went to the nature park over the weekend, but I was feeling lousy. Doctor told me to stay indoors and avoid the outdoors as much as possible since it has been so cold outside. It was nice to be able to get out. I am still pretty congested, some our usual run was out of the question.

    Andrew leaves for Iraq at the end of February. He will be there until August then his whole unit will return to Germany. So, his deployment will be a short one, thank God!

    I start my job search tomorrow. I have an appointment with the employment office tomorrow on post. The lady should be able to provide me with a list of available opennings and fillings out applications. Fingers crossed that I find something I like.

    Here are a few recent pictures. Enjoy!

    Drake is so happy to be at the park.

    Great pictures of you and Drake. Sorry you have not been feeling well - hope you are feeling much better soon. And can take Drake for more outings.

    Will be praying for both you and Andrew while he is in Iraq.

    I'll bet you're really glad you have your own things! Took them long enough. I've had some type of cold for about a week, too. Good luck on the job search and we'll all pray that Andrew stays safe. I know that will be rough on you both. That nature park is beautiful!

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    That nature park looks GORGEOUS

    Drake looks right at home out there too! What a pretty boy. Glad to hear you're finally getting things settled too.

    Glad that you are getting settled in, my prayers will be with Andrew.

    Drakster is such a handsome, handsome dog! I just love seeing pictures of him, there has been a shortage for a while. It looks like he is having a good time outside. You and Drake look perfect together. Great pictures, I will be looking forward to seeing more! Thanks for sharing!

    Finally, I am so glad you got your furniture.

    Sorry to hear you have been sick, A type flue has been
    going around, and also some nasty colds too.
    At least you are finally getting better, but don't over due
    it.

    Loved the pictures of you and Drake.

    Good luck on your job hunting, and sending hugs to everyone.

    Yeah pictures! So sorry you've been feeling under the weather. It's so hard to take care of a pup when he's gotta go potty but the doctor tells you to stay in. oiy. But I'm so relieved you finally got your furniture!

    The scenery is beautiful and Drake looks like he's having a blast.

    I love your matching smiles. I'll be thinking of you and Andrew when he heads off to Iraq. Hopefully the months will pass quickly.

    Thank you for your complements. Drake and I appreciate it.

    I will try to post more often. Been in a rut and can't get out of it. I was very excited to move to a different country and have been enjoying the sight seeing, but my life is on hold and I hate that. My meeting with the employment office was a waste of time. They had no listings that matched any of my qualifications. She entered my resume into the system and told me to keep checking the online listing. I know I used to complain about my old job, but at least I was in a good position and was making good money. I think that I am starting to feel home sick. I am so envious of Andrew. He is going to be in Atlanta for a whole week after he goes to Washington. I miss my brothers so much.
