All Clear!

As of today, we are officially cleared from post! It feels so good to know that we can just spend the weekend relaxing without having to worry about cleaning the house or shipping things off or anything else. It was pretty emotional too, though. Today was the kids' last day of school, so they had to say goodbye to all their friends and teachers. Neither one of them is really saying that they're sad to be leaving, but they seem to be showing it in other ways. A. tends to have emotional outbursts when she's upset about something. J., on the other hand, is pretty quiet about it. He hasn't really been acting different at home, but he had some difficult moments at school and at SAS. It's amazing how differently kids can react to the same situation. I even asked A. if she was acting the way she was because she was sad about leaving, and she said no. I'm not convinced though.

Tonight is the last function for the year of the local community spouses' club. My friend and I are going together. Should be fun. Tomorrow is the annual Asian Pacific Luau, and we're going to go as long as the nice weather holds out. I sure hope it does. Monday we leave for Munich and then fly out on Tuesday. I can't believe it's so close!
