Update of our official first day

So we just got back from housing and toured where we will be living. There are 3 brand new never lived in town homes and we get one of them with a fenced in yard. It is Beautiful and really nice. I have no way of uploading my pictures so I will have to work on that one. So until then you will not get any pictures. We are so excited to be here and it is all kinda crazy. I mis my family and my dog. I really hope we can ship her over soon.


So on the way here from Boise to Chicago I saw brother Flake from the 6th ward and he says hi to the Jones Family. He was traveling on business and it was fun to see a familiar face. From Chicago to Baltimore Bridger fell asleep before take off and I had to wake him when we landed. So overall that was a layed back trip. Joseph met us in Baltimore and we hung out in the airports Gallery where they have a few things for the kids to play n. We were there for a good long 7 hours and then when we got on the plane we ended up sitting in there for 1 1/2 before take off. So we took off around 11:30 or midnight and got into Spangdahlem around 1:15 in the afternoon so it was only about a seven hour flight. The dinner was really good that they served us. They served that about 2am. The boys slept ok. when they started getting fussy Joseph held Bridger and I held gideon. there was some airman who was a friend to a guy I was sitting next to and lets say he had one too many beers. He reeked!!! and all he wanted to do was sit by me and talk about nothing and repeat his questions. He even woke me up. I was glad when he decided to get up and go. Joseph slept through it...Lucky! It was so weird because when we got to Spangdahlem Air Base it was 4:15 in the afternoon and I realized it was only 8:15 in the morning where we were. We are about 8 hours different I believe.

The shuttle ride from Ramsteine AFB to Spangdahlem was about an 1 1/2 long and I was only half awake for that but when I was it was beautiful. everything is very green and the villages that I saw from a distance were really cool looking. They all have the same color roofs adn like a white plaster for siding. Hopefuly I will be able to get our vehicle soon so I can start exploring.

We were up from 1 to 6 this morning making cookies playing, coloring, watching a movie and reading stories before I made the kids go back to bed. Hopefully we will get used to the time change. I look forward to moving into our new towne home tomorrow!! :)
