Update

OK, so it's been five weeks since I posted anything. That is less to do with opportunity or things to post and more to do with blatant laziness. I'll give you the bullet points for the last five weeks. I think I have already posted that we are moving to Belgium. Here's the updates.

• We went to MS for July 4. It was great to see family, eat fried catfish, etc. We left Isaac there with Mom and Dad. I left Em there. She went to TN for her little brother's wedding (Congratulations Zack and Mallory). I came back to Ft Hood and went to work.
• I've done a married soldier class, single soldier class, and an ASIST training class since my last post. I have a Strong Bonds retreat next weekend. After that, I begin clearing Ft Hood. For those not in the military, that's the 2-3 weeks of administrative red tape that I have to go through in order to move.
• Em has already cleared all red tape for herself and Isaac. In addition, she managed to get my passport, which was mailed to the wrong place. It seems very few people are able to say "no" to a pregnant woman.
• The first load of our house has been picked up for shipment to Europe. There are three different shipments for this move. The first is the furniture and household goods we are taking to Europe. The second is a very small shipment of things that we'll need very soon after we arrive. These are shipped next week. The last are the things that will go into storage here in the States. This means we are living in a mostly empty house.
• The van has been dropped off for shipment. This means we are sharing the Mustang for the next few weeks. Not much fun. (Speaking of the Mustang, it's for sale.)
• Em and I spent last week in New York City for vacation. Excellent trip. I'm going to try to post about it tomorrow. Most of our pictures should be uploaded into our web album tonight. We'd already made our reservation and bought all of our tickets before we found out we were moving, so we went.
