A week and a half left in Virginia Beach

Yep!  That's right...we have 11 days left in Virginia Beach.  It's time to get packing!  Brian found out today that we can take 3500 pounds to Qatar with us.  My question:  How much is that!?  Is it a desk?  A car?  My bed?  I need something to compare to or else we are going to be way over or under.  All I am concerned about is our bed and my kitchen stuff.  The rest, we can replace while we are over there or have registered for.

We leave for Texas next Sunday, December 18th and return home on Wednesday, December 28th.  I cannot WAIT to see all four families.  It will definitely be short and sweet, but we will be back in April for the wedding for a few weeks.  We are bringing the puppies with us to TX and leaving them with my Dad while we are in DC for the Embassy school.  Hopefully we will get them back.  ;)

Once we return from Texas, we have 2 days to finish packing, have the Navy load up our belongings and move to DC for 4.5 months.  Brian needs to completely redo his wardrobe for the school.  He has to wear suits everyday, so if anyone is looking for Christmas ideas for B....he needs gift cards to Men's Warehouse!

I'm still trying to figure out our schedule in DC to see if I can continue working at The Dump.  It's looking like I will be commuting back and forth every week.  I will, hopefully, be here 3-4 days a week and in DC the remainder of the days trying to catch up on the Embassy classes.  They record most of them if you cannot attend so you can watch them at a later time which will be helpful if I get to keep my job.  If I can't commute back and forth, I'm going to have to quit working and go to school full time, so for our pocketbook's sake, I hope I can do both.

As for the wedding - It is coming along.  I have reserved the tables, chairs and the tent.  All I have left are flowers, centerpieces and general day-of set-up....I think.  I KNOW there will be more things popping up all over the place, but I have been getting quite a bit of help from the family down there.

What else...I am pretty much done with my overseas screening and Brian should be getting definite orders in the next few days...which makes everything 100% official.  Right now, it is only 99.9% official.  ;)

That is all for now...over and out, party people!
