Tommy and I got back to Germany yesterday, the flight was long! It wasn't as bad as I thought though. Tommy was much better than the last time and he slept most of the way. I got to watch some movies but couldn't sleep. I was really tired when we finally got here. Tommy is having a really hard time adjusting. He slept 12 hours last night and so I thought he was on schedule already, but it's midnight now and he won't sleep. If I put him in bed he starts screaming. I'm not sure what to do and it's a little stressful. I'm not tired either.
I wanted to take some pictures on the flight and when we first got here but my camera is dead and Justin has the charger in Iraq. (Don't even ask how that happened!) It's nice to be home, although our house was a bit messy and dusty since we haven't been here in 7 months. I spent most of yesterday and today cleaning up. Today Tommy and I worked on the garden and he played in his sandbox with our neighbor Luis. Then we went to the neighborhood farm and saw the baby cows. They looked maybe a month old. So cute! I've gotten to talk on the phone to Justin a lot which is nice.
It's beautiful here in June! It looks like a postcard everywhere I look. It's extremely green and flowers are blooming. I wish that our families could be here to see it. The weather is around 72 degrees but it feels a little cold to me. I have heaters running inside, my neighbors think I'm nuts.
Justin will be home at the latest August 18th if everything goes somewhat smoothly. He leaves Iraq July 27th and then will be waiting in Kuwait for the next available flight back to Germany. That could take a few days to a few weeks. We're definitely ready to be together again. It's been a long 7 months. I'm so happy Tommy and I could be in AZ with family and friends for so long though. We miss you! If anyone would like to visit, please come!!
Love, Brittney and Tommy
