The amount of things we accomplished in the past month have been almost unbelievable.
We flew from Germany to the states with our dog, visited family for a short while temporarily dropping our dog off with them, discovered that our car was still not available from customs, rented a car for roughly two weeks, bought a car, rented a house, moved into the house, unpacked all of our stuff, got our dog back, got our car back from customs, set up new medical appointments, all while my poor wife is getting in-processed with a new unit in a new position while 7 1/2 months pregnant.
It's only been this week that we've been able to settle into a routine. The house we've moved into is near a national forest, so the wildlife is ridiculous around here. The first days we drove around we saw a doe and two fawns, two turkeys, a fox, and some crazy looking animal that we affectionately have called chupacabra. Since we've moved into the house, I've seen a praying mantis, two massive slugs, a blue-tailed skink, and a stealth bomber.
These things are so huge, quiet, and unusual that at first you think it's a UFO!
