The last several weeks have been a roller coaster and it's not ever yet! Ever since March, Glenn and I have been anticipating orders in June. There was supposed to be a committee meeting, that will decide who goes to that particular squadron, that will convene at the end of June. Since that is our first choice, we have been waiting. Since I am a planner, of course I worked out being able to make it back for my family vacation, friends' weddings, etc.
Well, shortly after Glenn left for deployment this summer, we were told that the meeting was going to be moved to the end of July! Not such a big deal, but with a mid-August family vacation, the timing was not going to work out to pack/clean/paint/checkout of this apartment. I had originally been hoping for orders so that I didn't have to personally purchase a ticket back to the States either. With August being the prime summer vacation for Japanese school children, the prices skyrocket!
Of course today, 2 days after purchasing at ticket (thanks for the miles, Mom!!) back to the States, Glenn emails me that we may have orders in 7-10 day! The meeting as been moved to early July! What?! This means more shuffling and rearranging all in the hopes of making it out of here in one piece with less stress for me and Stella.
Once we actually receive that little piece of paper does the craziness begin. Throw on top of that a trip from my parents and a trip for me out of the country and it's going to be a busy couple of months! I can't wait!

Trip back home, last minute visitors, a move while the husband is deployed. Sounds about right! There were times I was all kinds of stress and hating myself the last few months in Japan but I won't have it any other way!
