Germany?????

What??  Yes, it's true.  We are moving to Germany.  Being dragged, kicking and screaming is more like it.  We will live right where the little airplane is under Frankfurt.  John is being transferred there for 3 years with his job.  It was a shock at first, but, we are starting to be a little intrigued by it all.  What an adventure it will be!  Like a 3 year vacation!  John is the only one we haven't really won over yet, but who could blame him??  He is a sophomore, so he will graduate in Germany.  Emily is already planning a birthday trip to Paris.  John still gets to play golf, Ethan still gets to play football, and Emily still gets to dance.  Whew!!  They will go to school on the Air Force base there.  I am most excited about going back to a 10 point grading scale.  Woohoo!  Here 94 to 100 is an A, 88 to 93 is a B and so on.  So much pressure on the kids.  And it's ridiculous!  So, my timeline is that we will be moving at the end of July.  It makes sense to me, BUT this is a government agency we're talking about here.  May take a while.  Well, that's all I've got for now, kids.  Need to get back to cleaning out closets and whatnot.  THAT is a good thing about moving.  Purging all the junk that you collect over the years.
