Ramblings

Salutations to my fellow bloggers or readers!

I arrived in Germany a week ago and have learned several things in that quick amount of time.

1. the water here is super nast. my hair is already weird - we were told to wash our hair in vinegar once a week to keep it healthy...
2. german military beds suck
3. I never realized how much I appreciated carpet and more importantly, the plush pads underneath the carpeting...our floors are all cement and tile!! my arches in my feet are just aching by lunch time if Im not wearing shoes (which I hate to do)
4. I did not pack enough of my stuff - I shouldve kept alot of it

We have had several xbox 360 tournaments and gone bowling with the neighbors - we are definitly socializing well!! Our house seems to be the central hub for everyone to hang at! haha. I guess we keep them coming because I pretty much cook every night!

All in all its a major adjustment thus far. I love my stairwell-mates, and am getting on quite well with all of them. Im trying to fight jet lag and try to just stay awake as Im still exhausted by lunch time here. Our house is never clean enough either, the floors are so weird and collect dust daily. We are on the lookout for some cheap furniture as well...and are anxiously awaiting our stuff to get here on the 30th...I've been doing alot of cooking too. We have cooked for the neighbors and anyone that comes in here usually eats here. Zoey is doing well, shes become quite the sleeper....I think she may be adjusting and jet lagged as well. We are doing well though and are fully enjoying our time here with "Daddy" before he leaves TDY on the 2nd. Just a quick update

Chapter One

Upon several requests for pictures and updates on army life, I have decided to join the blogging world. I've heard it said that sometimes being a newlywed is hard, and adjusting to married life is tough but to be honest, I have yet to experience married life. Aaron and I were married on Christmas Eve at 3pm in a pathetic little ceremony in Dillsburg PA. We drove to the pastors house and once told, "you can pay me now.." by the pastor, we recited a somewhat brief form of "vows". Once it was official we drove back to Carlisle, where we ate cake and danced to our first dance as hubs and wife, and changed clothes so we could attend the christmas eve service at church. We "honeymooned" in a hotel in town, and came back to my parents house Christmas morning at 7am to open presents. We spent a week together before Aar had to report back to Ft. Lee. Once all our paperwork was in, we were told we were going to Germany. Our dates were changed several times, along with the way things worked but we muddled through and are just beginning to live out our love song; married style. I can't promise that this blog will always be exciting, but I promise to offer a candid view of military life from a wife's perspective, and to offer a random rambling every now and then. Welcome to our love story.
