March 4th D-Day


We got up at 0500, got us & the kids dressed, and we hit the Autobahn around 0550. The kids were super sleepy, but in a good mood { for once lol}. We arrived at the Airport in frankfurt at 0650, and quickly returned our Rental car. We it took us 45 minutes to get from terminal 1 to Terminal 2, and another 45 minutes to get our Tickets. At american airlines, they wanted to see mine & bells Visa { i told her at least 5 times to please NOT open the enverlopes lol.} we got our tickets, and went to our gate, security check went smooth and we had about an hour left until boarding. The kids did great, besides haileys little meltdown because she didnt get to run around, and bells CONSTANT stuborness.
When it was finally time to board the plane, i was in SHOCK that the plane was like SUPER small and had no individual  TV's in the headrests, DARN IT i was SO banking on the movies for bells and hailey. Oh well, Hailey fell asleep soon after takeoff, and bells started watching a movie on my Ipad2. The two of them are handled easily WHEN seperated,  but together its a TOTAL disaster, so i enjoyed the non violent, Fight free hour, that hailey took a nap.
Sadly it was only one hour, and as soon as hailey opened her eyes the two of them started arguing and fighting over simply EVERYTHING. And all i could think was.... "OH LORD this is going to be a LOOOONG flight" lol excatly four hours into the flight i had to seperat Hailey in bells, because they were just too wound up, and in each other’s Hair.  On top of that i had to pee like EVERY 5 MINUTES!!!!!!!!... i haven’t had the "frequent peeing issue" all through my pregnancy but it started TODAY { perfect timing huh???}
This was the worst/ longest/ most nerv wrecking flight EVER. I will NOT visit Germany any time soon SORRY folks lol..
After a while I decided to just listen to music, to drown out any fighting / arguing……….
I was so glad when we FINALLY landed in Fort Worth, Dallas, that I honestly thought about kissing the ground
J
We got to the custom line and there were about 250 ppl in line in front of us :-o but thanks to my awesome husband being a Service member we got to skip them all and go straight to the front of the line. We went through imigration { which was super easy}
And then waited to for our next flight. We got to Kileen right on time, we wanted to rent a car right away but they said since tom is under 25 they would have charged us an additional 27 dollar PER DAY for a rental. We took the free shuttle to the Hotel, it looks crappy from the outside, but its actually pretty nice and clean on the inside!. We went to bed at around 2100 and fell asleep right away!. Now its 0300 in the morning and we cant sleep no more lol. But we should have this jetlag beaten  in no time!.

We are officially Homeless

yesterday { March 1st} we handed over the keys to the apartment we lived in for the last 2 + years. The Housing inspector came around 10 am and it was over quick. By 1030 we pulled up at the lagerhof just to find out that check in isnt until 1400 ... well CRAP.... tom had to go back to work so he dropped me off at the PX, the Lady at the front desk said they might have our room done by 1230 and to call back around that time. My preggo butt had blood pressure issues so tom came back to the PX and drove me and lil H to the hotel, we waited until our room was done and at 1235 we FINALLY got to check in!.
our "room" is actually a suite and really nice { besides the fact that B and H have to share a room which doesnt work out well.

Today we went and had some pizza with the Girls, and tomorrow we will have another little "going away party" at the local bowling alley. all our bags are packed and ready to be loaded up in the car tomorrow night!. We will be leaving Bholder around 5am. We cant wait for this new chapter to START!!!!...
