we are military and the wife was cought in a draw down and also has some medical issues so they kicked here out with a good retierment package. We could not say no to it. it means our home will be paid for :-)
So we are just comming home instead of being over in Germany for the rest of our lives LOL
Dont get me wrong Europe ina neat place alot of really kool things here jsu tmis the states and want to go back home.
And find areal pizza and a actual Doughnut for once. they dont have them here. thier pizzas are ntot he best but they dont really ahve any doughnuts unless they are a pastry style.

ohhhhhhhh...ok...makes sense now


lol you dont realize that your going to miss the little things like pizza or doughnuts or stuff like that when you leave a country for a while, not something i would have though about anyway. but then when i got there i think i would have been going through withdrawl without pizza and doughnuts(especially krispy kream mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)

see that is one of those things ya never think of. we take it for ganted soooo much in the states ,
here is another one for ya, How many of you have had the french toast sticks at Burger king?
they dont even knwo what they are here. they dont have a breakfast menue at Burger king. and then ther is only one B.K. in town and this is not a small city here.
but we have like three Mc. D's but this is jsut a few things. they dont have alot of things here that we do over there. but then they make up with it also.
We dont have Afelshola it is a appel soft drink that is really actually good. you can make it easy enough but we dont have it there at all.
we also dont have the breads and bakeri's liek they do over here. Man you dont know how good it is to get fresh bread any time you want you just go get it..

also they have alot of more health food here then we do in the states. you find candy on the shelvs galore but it really is not liek in the states wher eit seems everyone has to have some all the time.
here it is more like a real treat .
but then they have the bad things also. like 19% taxes on every thing.
and they end up paying like 50% of there yearly wages to the goverment for living here.
they pay taxes on thier homes,dogs,cars,kids,you name it.

I have a friend that lives up in Rostock Germany and he said that pizza was the #1 thing that he missed about home. Whenever he gets into town that is the 1stthing we all go out to eat.

Have a safe trip back!!!

Be sure to have a safe trip back and kiss the Monte when you drop it off at the ship. So it knows you still love it.
