No news was not good news..........

I apologize for my lack of blogging as of late.
Things have been very busy. Some days were mundane, to say the least, and some brought new experiences and revelations.

Well here goes the bad news........ We are no longer moving to Germany. We have choosen not to be in the waiting game any longer. The stress level was too high here. This was a very hard decision for us. Not done very easily. We've put a lot of time, work, and emotion into the idea and notion that we would be moving our family to Stuttgart come July this year. Now that is no longer an option.
It required a whole new train of thought to get use to the idea of moving and now I must retrain my thoughts to the idea that I am not moving. Easier said than done.
Goals were short and simple when thinking of moving. It was simple to just say purge out the things you can't take or don't want and not sign up for things that would conflict with the moving process. Now I don't have to get rid of things like foam stickers or my fishtank and Now I have to plan for summer vacation here. As much as I'd love to take the kids to Germany, we can't afford to fly a family of 5 there. It was much simplier when the employers paid for it :)

The good news, I don't have to learn German :) ha,ha,ha. I don't have to find homes for my fish and our gerbils!!! My Mom is extremely happy!! I can crop with my gal pals all I want.

So it's back to where we started. Our 11th Anniversary is coming up this Wed. I surprised the H. with a romantic get away a couple of weeks ahead of schedule because we needed it.
We had a great weekend with the kids at the circus not too long ago. We had seats really close up.....what a great time we had.

I plan to stay in touch with my blogging friends in Germany. I hope to visit there soon. If all goes well my husband will be going to Frankfurt in May for business and I will join him for a week.

Bye for now..............
