Eyes and Food

Kyle and I returned from Landstuhl this afternoon. It is such a long drive, I was hoping to make it home for a half day of school, but a 2.5 hour drive turned into about a 5 hour drive with all the road construction and traffic jams. We made it home safely and really that is all that matters.
Kyle had his last eye appointment that requires us to drive so far today...thank goodness! The doctor said things are looking good, but we won't know how his vision has changed for another 2 weeks or so. Right now he can see, its just blurry, his eyes are still healing. He goes back to work tomorrow, but with very limited things he can do. He doesn't even have to show up until 9am...not 5:30 like usual, yipee. Most the guys are out in the field so it should be a couple easy weeks for him.
I was reading that the Ramstein military base is the largest concentration of American's outside the Continental US with about 48,000 Americans. They even have a Chili's there! We had planned on eating there Sunday evening after we arrived, but we couldn't figure out where it was on the huge base, and settled for sandwiches instead. I guess we were to embarrassed to ask for directions. Oh well, they also had a Cinnabon that I planned on getting dessert from after dinner, and we were right by it, but I my stomach had no room after dinner. But just knowing they had them seem more like home. I can't believe Kyle hasn't been to the US in over 2 years, and it has been a little over a year since I have been there!
I have had a difficult time sleeping the last two nights, so I am hoping that tonight I get a good rest! I am going to need my rest, tomorrow I start my Master's program online. I am already dreading going to class and it hasn't even started yet, luckily going to class only requires logging onto the computer!
We are still waiting for our BMW to get fixed and/or the Ford to arrive. Hopefully not to much longer, right now we are car-less. Kyle gets to ride his bike to work tomorrow, I am thankful I work right across the street!
