Random, Random, Random

Things have been quiet around here lately--the here in question being the blog, not our life. We are waiting for some very big news and my ability to concentrate on anything else has been severely hampered. It isn't anything bad; everyone is healthy and things are fine. It's just one of those not-for-blog things. Sorry!

I don't normally talk about big news items here, but this month has been terrible news-wise. The shootings in Germany broke my heart and the tsunami in Japan just leaves me speechless. The images from Japan are just--I don't have the words to convey my thoughts. I am trying to keep Sarah's wise words in my head as I think about it all because I 100% agree with her. It is difficult.

I watched that Lifetime show "Coming Home" yesterday. Seriously, I just cried my way through the whole thing. I think most military families (moms, dads, and kids alike) probably have the same reaction. The emotion that comes from those homecoming moments is so singular--watching someone else go through it brings it all rushing back. I don't normally go for the military themed shows (stereotypes, anyone?), but I'll probably watch this one.

I miss Germany. I'm sure I will do a more thorough exploration of this topic soon, but I'm finally at the point where I can admit it. I really and truly miss living in Germany.

It is, however, very nice to have access to Target and Sonic.

    I watched that show 1 time and balled through the whole thing. I also was sitting at the dr one day and the news had where a dad surprised his kids during there basketball game and i started balling in the waiting room. Not really sure why but it gets me every time so I have to stay away of the show. I miss Germany to. Hard to believe but I do but most of all I miss you guys. I hope you get some good news SOON im dying to know what is going to happen. (yeah i know you are dying to) :)

    I think I am weird in that I don't really miss Germany. But I think it is more like I don't miss missing the US, if that makes sense. There are parts of Germany I have great memories of.

    Coming Home makes me cry too!
