Dates, Dates, and more Dates!!!!

Exciting times! Darin received his tickets to fly home from the ship almost a month early so he can help us out here at home before our move to Singapore. The Navy has been good to us (more specifically the Operational Ministry Center and the USS Nashville)! He will be home by the end of May!

Within the three weeks after Darin returns home, we will 1) go to Disney for a family vacation June 10th-17th 2) pack out of our house the 18th (yes the day after returning from Disney) through the 24th 3) fly out of Norfolk to Dallas TX June 29th 4) fly from Dallas to Singapore July 2nd, arriving in Singapore July 4th. Whew...just writing it makes me tired!!!! (not to mention fly our dog to Singapore separately out of Dulles International at some time within that window as well). Really it sounds hectic, but things have really fallen into place for the most part, with the exception of the dog!

So for now, I am busy trying to make arrangements for the dog and get the house in order! The kids are getting excited, at least Kyle is. Grace is most concerned with whether the dog will be moving with us or will she "be getting a new family." Thus the push to bring the dog with us.

Our Singapore address is as follows:

PSC 470 Box 2916
FPO AP 96534

We'll keep you posted! Hope to see a lot of you as we travel to FL and TX!

So exciting!!! You'll have a few weeks to settle in before we get back (the 29th of July) and then we can get together! I had been meaning to email you 2 things you might want to bring if you have a preference for brand or flavor. Toothpaste and deoderant. :) Can't wait to see you guys! (and SO happy Darin is coming home early)
