The truckers lounge...

Well now is as good as time as ever to update the blog. I am sitting in a "truckers room" as it's called while we set up the mini cooper for its adventure to Germany. And oh boy it's hot here. We are in Norfolk, VA and let me tell you, it feels as If you are melting. It is hot and sticky and just all around not fun 7 months pregnant. But the good side of all this is that dropping off The mini copper is our last step to be ready for Germany! The movers have come and gone, we have all of our final approvals and now we are just "dropping off" the car. I put that in quotations because it has not been a fast process as one would think.  It started this morning when we spent 2 hours cleaning the car inside and out(and it honestly still isn't clean enough for their standards...lol) then another hour driving downtown to turn the car in. We arrived shortly after 2 pm and spent 2 hours waiting in a room with no air conditioning for them to see us. then it was another 2 hours with them inspecting every single smudge and smear on the car. Luckily I got moved to the "truckers lounge" for this portion and it's much cooler down here :)  It is hard to believe that in three days I will be on my merry way to Germany. I have to say I am finally getting quite excited!! This is going to be an amazing adventure with so many new experiences! The Lord has blessed us so much Through this whole adventure and it's only just starting! The whole move process went so much smoother than we could have ever imagined and that was a great weight taken off our shoulders. Julian was able to outproccess of the post in just 2 days (it is normally a 10 day process).  I was able to handle all the movers (that was done in 3 days). We recieved amazing, honest and respectful movers who really seemed to care. We got out of Fayetteville yesterday and are now In Norfolk for The weekend!! We will spend an amazing weekend with some amazing dear friends on the beach and we couldn't be more excited! Then Germany here we come!!  We are almost at the end of the "getting ready" stages and I couldn't be more excited to see what the next few Weeks are going to bring! I will keep you updated as we get to Germany and will let you know what our first impression of Bamberg Germany is!!
