so here we are...on the final day of our journey.
all our stuff is packed into our 2 backpacks...we have 2 smaller carryon bags as well. grizz's huge backpack carries all our souveniers adn knives to be checked....my pack has everything else and will be carried on.. grizz's green rucksack will have our books and electronics in it..and a smaller bag will have some food adn water for the flight.
weve given away to this hostle our pots and pans and cups..but im keeping the bowls i got in amsterdam cuz they are plastic and look like blue delft..with windmill designs and so forth on em.
all ready to go to wake up at 4am and get breakfast adn catch the shuttle to the airport.
today we have been relaxing and eating the rest of our food for lunch adn dinner.and watching movies in the common room...dirty dancing..and now apollo 13 is on..i love that movie.
so just relaxing and off to bed early tonight...bought the final few knicks knacks for gifts and have those packed away.
its been amazing..its been tiring and annoying and wonderful and eye opening..and something i will never forget. not
so much of a romantic honeymoon...but a good one...one that made me reaize the things i was taking for granted...and i wont anymore....like:
my coffeemaker....easy coffee in the mornings..just walk downstairs and make a pot,
my wonderful tiny bathroom...i wont take you for granted anymore
my couch....how comfy and perfectly molded to our asses...comfort ahhhh
my car...and driving to easily quickly get places
understanding what everyone is saying around you
being able to ask for help or directions and being understood
my wonderful pets and family and friends....although i do hope i never took them for granted in the first place.....i will make a more concerted effort to make my friends and family understand how important they are to me in my life...if your reading this.....your probably someone we both love very much and care about a great deal....we thank you so much for your friendship...love..help..support...and just being there for us....we hope we can be there just as much for you...thank you....we love you
we hope to see you at the wedding....thank you so much for following our journey...we hope youve been inspired..amazed...and have gained more info on what to do and not do when you go
on your next adventure to europe..or wherever your heart takes you....
i know we really coudnt afford to do this journey and will be paying back the debt to some people for a bit...but now we can say..we went there..we did that..i am no longer sitting at home wishing i could live my dream and see europe....im no longer on the sidelines..watching younger kids go to europe and wishing i could...we finaly did and it was only because of grizz.....i never would have been able to do this without him....he really is so good to me even though i really just want to beat him senseless once ina while......
im sure he feels the same about me some days...at least now i feel i know him better....i understand where hes coming from and i hope he feels the same..and thats the basis of a good relationship..if you at least understand eah other and share some of the same basic beleifs, ideas, goals and dream adn interests that make f0r a good relationship......thats ultimately what i was aiming for.....
thank you everyone......
there is an unsubscribe button somehwere..for those who dont want to follow this anymore...but
i think i might keep this journal thing adn write in it still even after this.....i kinda like the idea....its been really fun.
enjoy some of these pics that ive had on my phone....see you all soon!! ive missed everyone and hope to see yo uall soon...and especially at fighter practice!!!!! (i never want to miss another one again!!)

I am so happy for you both! What a wonderful experience. And a great preparation for marriage; whatever troubles you have in the future, you can look at each other and say "At least we're not in a tent in the rain!" Lots of love, see you at the wedding! Picking up your present today. :-D :-D :-D
