IV July

Here I am on my final 4th of July celebrating independence from England in England. 

I would have liked to go to the fireworks and festivities at RAF Feltwell tonight, but I'm working from 3 - 10:30.  Alas, no American revelry for Joy.  I did, however, celebrate by buying a seedless watermelon @ the commissary.  YUMMMMY!  I'll easily have the whole thing gone before Friday.  No joke.

Thinking about July 4ths gone past w/ my sweetie. . . excited to think about celebrating the 4th in DC.  I was actually in DC for the 4th in 2000.  Never could I have imagined then that I would celebrate the 26th 4th of July in my life as a resident of Virginia!

I think putting off the departure, though massively dissapointing, has made it seem like saying goodbye is still a long way off.  Though it's strange to think that if I would have left on the 18th that next Sunday would actually have been my last Sunday @ the chapel!  I really need to get on the ball with outprocessing/packing/sorting type stuff.  PRAYING that the paperwork for our car tax comes this week as our MOT certification is only good through the 14th of July (road and tv tax - two things I will NOT miss about England).
