when my husband leaves, and more of Nana's visit

I've always said when my husband leaves all hell breaks loose. the DAY he left my car decided not to start, this was MAYBE 15 minutes after i had said "ill see you later" to him. luckily i have AMAZING friends and it was an easy fix and had it done within 2 hours! then the sealing on my window of the drivers side window is out and the window won't close all the way. the sealing on my door to my house is coming off the screen door to the balcony is broken AND since brett left 3 lights in my house has gone out... really!?! this better mean I'm getting all the crap out of the way and the rest of this deployment will be a good one.

this is my boys kissing daddy before getting on the bus... i now have this as a 11x14 picture i LOVE it!


since Nana has been here we have been every where in Bamberg and trying to get out of bamberg for a bit but the dang rain has proven to be an issue. my house is also very clean and for those of you that don't know me, I'm not a clean freak AT ALL! Ive taken Nana and the boys to down town bamberg, the Bamberg Dome, Saint Michael's church, Altenburg fortress, Schollus Seehof Palace and Park and every where on post. we still want to go on the boat ride and also go to the garden show they are having here in bamberg. i also want to go to a couple other towns here that are within an hour drive. i love having my mom here and its making the time go by fast, but i think this deployment thing will sink in way more once she leaves.

I'm thinking about going home in either September or October ... months that are not high priority to travel but i really don't know if i want to fly with the boys by my self. we will see what happens. well below ill post some pictures from Nana's visit.
