Like many women who marry a military man, I have two wedding anniversaries… To be approved for family housing, the military requires a marriage certificate…. So we got married twice! November 24, 2005 we were legally married in a Covered Bridge near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. December 31, 2005 we were married under God in a Chapel at Fort Leonardwood, Missouri.
And here is my flashback… a picture of our first night together in our new home… on 94 Hatler Street…
What you see is the packed contents of my apartment -
all of which fit inside a 10 foot UHaul trailer and the bed of my pickup…
When we moved here to Germany 18 months ago, we brought 6 large crates of stuff. These crates were 8 feet tall, maybe 8 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. The military estimated the weight to be about 8,000 pounds. So after 5 years of marriage this December, we added 3 kids, about 5 trailers of stuff, and lots n lots of memories!
What did your first home look like?

What a great flashback! I'm sure your first home together brings back alot of memories!
Our first was an apartment, and that is where we lived w/ our first three kids! I have such great memories of that place too!!!

that pic gave me my own flashback memory of my first apartment with my exhusband.

Great picture! We're military, too. We're in Sicily for about 5 more months. We came here with 3 crates, including my husband's motorcycle. I think we'll be leaving with about 8!
