Made it to Germany

After many months of preparing to move we are finally here. Sorry for delayed updates. It has been hard on us and the girls to skip 6 hours ahead.
We left Baltimore on Wednesday night the 20th and arrived in Germany on Thursday 21st at 9am Ramstein time. So we had to sleep on the plane land and be ready for the day. Well Ada slept maybe 2 hours on the plane with constant jerking of her head and Dennis was beside her so he only slept 45 minutes due to the constant jerks. Ella slept great in carseat however I did not. We made it here with a very tired little girl and a mad passenger in front of Ada. She constantly kicked his seat and he happened to mention it to the guy who picked him up once we landed and I was standing right there. I wanted to tell him. SHE IS ONE!!
So once we arrived we checked in and the girls and I slept for several hours and then it was time to meet the squadron at dinner. Perfect night to meet them. I'm exhausted and my contacts would not go back in so I went in glasses and a very red eye. Dinner was good typical German food. But we missed seeing our fellow 16th friends. I think Ada was looking for Brad when we arrived she just kept looking around. The few wifes that were there fell in love with Ada and held her so of course she enjoyed that.
You would think the commisarry in a different country would be better then the one in the states. UMMMM NO! We have 3 choices for bread. No 45 calorie bread or sara lee. There are just not many choices for things. Such as kids yogurt. Doesn't really exist except go gurt. It is going to take time to get use to the food selection. The BX is really nice and HUGE. We have been there 3 times in 2 days and we will be returning today.
Since we have been here we have already seen some Charleston people. Lindon and Ryan Daughtry. It was great to see them. Now if Lindon could have packed Ana in his suitcase that would have been great.
We our currently shopping for a house to rent. All the good ones are snagged very quickly. We looked at one yesterday and I was not impressed. We will have phones today so excited to have the internet at my fingertips again.
Sorry the delay in posting. Funny note. I log on to post and its all in German. So I had to figure out which word meant post. Pictures will be added later. The girls are doing good and so is Dennis. We are all trying to adjust.
