We finally got our Household Items!

Tuesday, the movers arrived at the house with 9 crates of items to deliver to us! It was an exciting day, yet also a very exhausting day! We worked from 7:30 am to 10:00 pm....way too much to day in one day.


Good Bye Nice Movers! They did a great job of moving all of the items inside the house!




Finally, our own bed! It was such a great night of sleep!

Little Haberstroh is on the way! (if you didn't already know :) ) OH, and It's a BOY!



We are getting excited about the new baby. This is the first picture we have of the little one. He or she is just chillin in the first ultrasound. Heartbeat at 168! Like running a sprint!


The second ultrasound the little kiddo is growing and growing and looking more like a human! Heartbeat at 150! Getting in better shape :) 





Our most recent sonogram was at 21 weeks, early September, and we found out that we are having a boy!


We are gearing up for the future Wonder Boy or Golden Sun....
Maybe the kiddo will just support both teams and schools!

It will be okay if he or she is just a future Wildcat, too!

Why we are here exactly?!

Douglas is a Major in the United States Air Force and we are stationed at Geilenkirchen, Germany. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) AWACS base is located there. Doug is working in the planes around Europe and the area making sure the countries in the area are safe and sound.

It involves 15 NATO countries: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and the United States. So we were really happy when he got his United States flag patch so we could proudly represent the United States of America, the greatest country in the world, in our humble opinion. 

The AWACS plane looks like the one in the patch on his uniform. It's a pretty cool plane! I really like the one that is especially made for the NATO unit with all of the countries flags on it.
















Me, I am just a Military Spouse! Ha Ha, welcome to the Military.

Fall Day in the Summer

Today in Germany it's like 60 degrees and very windy and rainy. Pretty cold actually. It feels like a far cry from the South today! It's more like a Mid-October day when cross country season is just getting rolling and football season is in full swing. That's what it makes me feel today.


We did get some good news about the house here though. Our household goods (aka furniture) has been shipped to the base here and we will get them to the house next Tuesday. My car, the beloved Ford, also is here and ready to be picked up! We can go pick it up tomorrow.
