I really cannot believe I have not blogged once this December until now. I have a really good reason though. We are moving back to San Diego in about 3 weeks! Jon will go to Korea for a year while me and the girls will live in our hometown then after that year who knows? Germany again? D.C. area? Who knows! It has been the worst move ever for us and soooooooo draining emotionally and $$ and about to be physically when they come pack up our 16 thousand pounds of fabric household goods:) Never ever move during Christmas. We got our orders the day after Christmas and have to be out of here by mid January. Nice huh? It's a long story but to sum it up, we have been trying to get our orders since before October.
*below is our Christmas Cards from this year*
What have we been doing? Visiting friends back in Stuttgart,
Kelly from my old work. She's one of the last from the original group of girls still working there.
Below is our friends from Stuttgart also. Jayery and Andreas. Jayery babysat Emily from about 1 month to about 3 years and Ava a little bit. And Andreas was Jons roommate in the Barracks before I arrived in Germany. We will miss them.
A lot of embroidery that I need to photograph. This was the perfect craft project to take outside and do while hanging out with my friends. We put my swing in the garage and sit there every single day at 2 with coffee. It's awesome and I will really really miss them.
one day of snow
Just a cute photo of the girls titled "the unsuspecting bathers".
Sewing little stuff to keep me busy while we waited for orders and our house was already half in boxes. The movers are supposed to do this but I'm a little anxious to get this done so I started boxing stuff at the end of October.
Got this knitter for Emily but really I enjoy it more. It just makes these tubes but I'm so anxious and uptight lately that it's nice to do this while watching t.v.
Got this super cool wolf-eating-granny at Ikea
And Mendocino Feathers! I made 3 large ones and 3 small ones. I have made other things but all the motivation has left me for now. I just want to get this move over. Not anxious to leave Germany and all we've known for the last 10 years but anxious to get on with my life and get Jon back from Korea. I want to blog again and sew and all that good stuff. I might show up again with stuff I've done over the last couple of months or you might not see me again till I'm in California!

That shark/bath photo is brilliant!
bets of luck for the move and the new year
I'm really glad you gt the orders you were hoping for but sad that you will leave Germany. I think you belong here, like me. :) I'm really grateful for social media and that you love blogging! I'm sorry I suck at it... Send me your address when you get settled and let me know if you ever need anything. Except kindereir. I don't want to go to jail for you. ;)
Jennifer you are going to be truly missed! It has been great knowing you, and I will keep up to date on your new adventures this way. I also am thankful like Kelly that we have this venue to keep updated on you.
Keep sewing as you are a true artist!
Safe travels for all of you! Glad you get to be near family while Jon is away.
WHAT?!!! Are you in SD, already?! We should meet up!!!
