Germany

So Chris has been talking about reenlisting and going back to Germany. This time we would be together and the girls would get a chance to really live in a different culture. While Whytney got to experience a little of it before, she would really get a much bigger chance this time. I told him that if we do this and we go back after he gets back from his deployment that we aren't going to sit around and do nothing this time. That this time we are going to take advantage of being over there and really travel and do things. But right now it's just a thought and who knows what will actually happen.

I really want to teach and I hope that I get the chance to teach over there on post. I could and that is a great thing. If I can't teach right away I can get a job doing something else on post until a position opens up. And the nice part about the military in that way is that people are always leaving. But time will tell and we are praying about it and trying to figure out what the best thing for our family is.

I am already far from most of my family and if we did go we would take my dad with us if he wanted to go. We would sell our house here and we would live on post. The girls would have a great time and Whytney would get to live in the country she loves most. Whytney loves the germany culture and wants to speak it fluently. There are a lot of pros and I know there are plenty of cons. But the economy is so bad right now that Chris getting out of the army is one of the scariest things that we face since it's one of the only guaranteed jobs out there.
