Another much needed update

So, like my life could not be any crazier these days. Hai and I spent last weekend up at my in laws. We brought along my friend Michelle B and my other friends three kids. We also had both dogs with us, which made for kind of a long trip. But we had a great time. We came home late Monday night and then had the pleasant surprise of having Shan fly home--- for good!! So after driving 4 hours home (arriving around 8pm) I then got to go get Shan from the airport here in Fayetteville at 12:20 am (her flight was delayed). The next day the contractors were coming and we needed to get some errands done.
So, we put the dogs out in their kennel for the 4 hours we were gone. Apparently it was too hot for Bullet and when we arrived home, he had passed away. Of course, I felt totally at fault. After all, I had left the boys outside and he was gone. But after talking to some of our friends, I know it was not my fault. The boys had been in the kennel a million times before in the last 4 years. They had been in there much longer at times. And it is always hot here, so it could not be just the heat. He had been on pain meds everyday the last 2 weeks and dealing with pain from his legs.
So, as sad as it was, all I can say is that I am glad it is over. He was by far the most amazing dog ever and to say he will be missed is an understatement.
Luckily, I had my sis here to help me through it cause I have learned from experiences like this and when Hai was bit by a dog a few years ago, I am worthless in situations like that. I also had Kim who not only rushed to my side to support me, she also brought strong reinforcements that helped my neighbor David to bury Bullet.
I then also lost my phone that day. (When I say lost, I mean in the moment of my stress, I threw it against the wall and it literally shattered into like 20 pieces).
The next day, a group of us went out to On the Border (a mexican restruant). It is half price margarita night on Wednesday. So, we had 5 margaritas each and then some shots thanks to a couple sitting near us. We had to call for a ride, and Hailees godfather was awesome enough to come and get our drunk behinds!!!
So, one bright spot to my week, we found out Hailee's godparents will be joining us in Germany!!!! They will arrive about 6 months after us. Crazy right??? When we leave Germany, we will have been with Ryan and Crystal for almost 9 years! That is unheard of in the Army. It is one thing to stay in one location for that long with the same people. But we will have lived at three different Army posts with them in a row! 1 1/2 yr at Rucker, 4 1/2 yr at Bragg and 3 yr in Germany. Wow!!
So all is well with the house though. We are just waiting on the papers to go through the underwriting process at the Mortgage Company. So it can be as early as this week, but it will be no later than the 15th. Woo Hoo!!!!
I forgot to add, we are taking Bane to Germany. We cannot bear to lose another animal right now. By the way, our cat Noel who is living with my inlaws, disappeared. No clue what happened. UGH! So, Bane has been getting the star treatment the last few days cause he is a little shook up since Bulley died. We are going to start walking him in the mornings.
Lee is doing good and ready to come home. We miss him and are ready for our big move!!
