Good bye North Carolina Hello Germany!
Yesterday we found out that we are going to be stationed in Stuttgart Germany. What a shock!!! I've actually experienced an array of emotions in the last 24 hours. First I couldn't believe that we were moving from here. I had convinced myself that our time here was not done. Second was fear that we have to sale our house in these terrible economical times. Next was the excitement of being back in Europe and being able to travel o all the places we love and all those places we never saw our first tour there. And then back to the reality of all the work that is before us in the next couple of months. These same feelings keep swirling around my head. One moment I'm happy the next I'm crying. My mom recently reminded me of the words of President Monson " Fear and Faith cannont dwell in the same heart." I've always had faith that heavenly father has a plan for me and my little family. I know he sends us where we need to be. That doesn't stop me from raising my eyebrows a little and asking "What Now?" but I know that if this is his plan all will go smoothly and we will be able to learn and grow and enjoy these next three years!!

Comment #2: The Lord's plans are not always our plans. He can see much further ahead than we can. So we trust in Him! How many people have an opportunity to travel in Europe and visit the places that I only can dream about? What lucky girls you have to have these wonderful experiences! Thank heavens for Skype, digital cameras, emails and phones! I love you all!
Oh Yippee, Yippee, Yippee. I don't know how far you'll be from us but I'm sure we'll get to cross paths at least a time or two. Can't wait to see you again.

It's always hard to move, but I can only imagine the challenges that come with a move overseas. I've only sent my husband over and that has been challenging. I'm sure it all will work out.
Keep us posted on your move.
Oh wow! All will go well...everything will fall into place and what a great experience for your kids!
How exciting back again!!! This time will probably be more fun as you already know the area and fun stuff to do! We would love to go back some day as well. Yep it is hard to be away from everyone but all the more reason to have them come and visit you instead!!!
Wow, congratulations! What an accomplishment to have made it through that forever long course! Bailee will be sad that Morgan is leaving. I'm glad we'll be able to keep in touch through blogging!
