Everything is moving quickly

It's already April!  Holy cow this year is already speeding by.  I'm amazed at how quick this time is already going and I know I'm not going to be ready to leave bella Italia when the time comes!  We have so many fabulous memories here and so many more we could make if we were to stay longer.  While we love it here...I'll say it again...the job here just sucks.  The mission at this base is hectic and makes for some very unhappy military members most days.  I praise God for my hard working man and the dedication he has to serving his country at 110% every day he walks into his office.  I know he's excited to be going to a new job with new challenges to tackle.
We are about to take our last trip.  We leave this Sunday and will be on a cruise to Greece for a week!  Our last big trip will be fabulous!  We have friends from the base that are going as well; so this will be amazing to share this time with them.  Most of these friends will all be moving this summer to new bases as well so it's like a huge, fun last hurrah for most of us.  Super stoked!!!
By the time we get back we'll have about 8 weeks left before we are leaving here.  Before we know it we'll be starting pre-inspections, pack out days, shipping vehicles, cleaning, and waiting in the base hotel for our airplane ride to the states.  Then we'll have 30 days to spend with family in Oklahoma and try to see as many family members and friends as we can before we take off to Alaska and starting a whole new process with getting settled!
