Finally

So we are sort of back among the living. Well, sort of...

We made it to Texas and I have to admit, I'm not that impressed. Ok, so I know I'm going to offend some people. It seems that everyone from Texas LOVES Texas. I don't get it! All I can say for now is it is brown. Yes, everything is bigger and Texas, but here is what they don't tell you. It's only bigger because someone took a rolling pin and flattened the hell out of it.

Things I just realized I miss: Mountains, trees, green, grass, and shade.

Maybe I'll feel better once I see an armadillo.

I was looking at everyone's blogs and realize that I desperately need to update mine, but our computers are with everything else - - on a boat somewhere between Japan and the US. Hang with me. For now we are still in our home sweet hotel room. Hopefully we'll have housing soon. Then again, I could get use to the pool and maid service.

Final blog...

This will be my final blog from Japan.  The movers are coming tomorrow to pack us out.  We don't actually leave Japan until the 19th, but I won't have computer access from home after tomorrow.  

It's sad.  There is a part of me that is ready to go, but another part that is really having a hard time with it.  I'm excited about a new duty station - even if it's in Texas - but we have made some terrific friends here.  It'll be very difficult to tell them all goodbye.  

No, I didn't get to see all I set out to see when I first got here.  It's ok.  My time in Japan has been very fulfilling.  

Sooo, to all my fans (ha ha).  Sianara for now.  I'll send out a big ole Texas howdy from Ft. Hood once we get settled.
