- Turns out most of our things are still in Germany. Did you read that? Still. In. GERMANY. 2 months later. Sigh. That's the story I'm given anyway. For all I know, maybe it's here...
- Our unaccompanied baggage has been sitting on the flight line for 4 weeks because someone wrote the wrong name on the paperwork. No joke. Finally complained to the right person (not anyone in the military) who went to the right official and offered the right thing. Magically it was released in 5 minutes. No joke. This entire PCS process has been incredibly wacky.
- In order to make myself feel better, more rugs have been purchased. 5 rugs in 5 weeks is a good rate I do believe. Jordan says I have to calm down now. Here are the latest additions...
- MyCAA has been conquered. I win! I have decided to take advantage of this last chance for me to get classes paid for, and I will be taking 9 hours this fall. Then my scholarships (Which, dear commenter I will not name, I got due to my extensive community service, including being on the BOARD of my spouses clubs, which I wrote thank you notes for. Thank you very much.) will be held until spring, where I will take 7 hours. That leaves just one class in the summer and I am done! No debt! Sah-weet!
- Two websites you need to know about:
Jennifer's Voice- A childhood friend of mine who was kidnapped 20 years ago yesterday. She survived a rape and attempted murder and has been working to find her attacker since. Last year he was arrested and brought to Texas. Sadly he committed suicide before he could be sentenced. She is amazingly strong and wrote a beautiful post about finding her voice despite what has happened.
My Military Concierge- If you live (or are moving) overseas this is an AWESOME site. You can find info, reviews, and great articles about all things overseas. The best restaurants on the economy, stores that ship to APOs, great weekend getaways, the best hairdressers. Basically, all the info you want, written by other mil spouses, in one place. No need for trial and error. If you live overseas, you can add your own reviews.
- Commenter Tara who was moving questions, can you email me? I'd love to help but your email is not attached with your profile. Gracias!
And that's all I've got for now!

Those are some pretty cool looking rugs!
And yay for Mycaa working out for someone! 9 grad hours is a crapload--good luck to you!
I love the runner you got--I want something much like that for our foyer. One of my spouse friends was telling me "Oh, you can get them over at the BX," but I want a Turkish rug from TURKEY! I mean, seriously!
And congrats on conquering the CAA issue!
Wow! You have had an adventurous (i'm being positive for you) couple of months! I pray the rest of your belongings get there soon. I love the rugs - especially that blue one.
Nice rugs!!
Oh and my sisterinlaw got her Personal Trainer Cert. and Zumba instructor cert. thru MyCAA too. Now she is like the MISS ZUMBA of Ft. Bragg, NC and teaches classes of 80+ people at the gym on post. Fun!
Major congrats on being debt free when you finish college!! That's amazing.
You're amazing! I love it. Thank you for sharing those sites!
Saaaweeeeeett!
