T Minus 100 Days!

When I wake up tomorrow morning, we could have only 100 days left on our tiny little island paradise!  I say "could" because although we have our flight window (June 9 - 18th), we don't know which day they are scheduling our flight as of yet.  We should be finding out soon.  But if it's the 9th - that means we only have 100 days left on Okinawa!  I am excited and terrified all at the same time.

I guess I haven't shared our news here on the blog yet.  We will be heading back to Quantico, Virginia come June!  This will be my THIRD time living in Northern Virginia.  Tommy will be attending Expeditionary Warfare School (EWS), which is a 9-month career-level school for the Marines.  It starts at the end of July, so we'll have a good amount of time to fly back, spend time with both our families and friends, and get moved in before he starts class.  Oh, and the other bajillion things we need to do, like find a place to live, buy not one but TWO cars, enroll Wyatt in school... okay, I will stop now.

We attended our moving class on Monday and my eye started twitching about an hour into the four-hour class.  It hasn't stopped twitching yet.  It might have something to do with the 5-page (typed) to-do list that resulted from the meeting. :)

I have been dreaming of all the stores I want to go to when I set foot on American soil for the first time in almost 3 years.  In no particular order: Wegmans, Trader Joes, Michael's, Kohl's, Joann Fabric, and TJ Maxx are the ones I think about most often!

On average, about every 8 minutes I am struck with, "Man, I am so going to miss this when we move back to the States!" or "I can't wait to not have to deal with this when I move back to the States!"  The next three months will be a whirlwind, that I know!  We have a jam-packed spring: Tommy leaves soon, my friend is visiting for two weeks, then Easter, our trip to Tokyo over spring break, and then getting ready for the movers to be here.  Let the madness begin!
