So, here is the “quick” update on what’s happening in 2009: My CH is moving to Frankfurt, Germany on January 6th – the boys and I will follow 2/16. We have to pack up the house ( with help from my mom, who will arrive at the end of January) and change pretty much everything from bank accounts, insurance, cars, ets…in the meantime. This is a very exciting time even if it is all very overwhelming and exhausting and of course also sad. I am in the (slow) process of handing over my PDX SHopgirl Portland Operations to a dear friend and I want to start Frankfurt Shopgirl after we are settled in a little bit. I am very much enjoying the fact that I am cleaning and simplyfying – having completed 13 (!) trips to Goodwill already, with many more to come. We have been in our house for almost 5 years and we have accumulated more things than we have the need or the room for. And since our house in GER will be a bit smaller we need to downsize. I like the idea but I am slow in the execution. We will need to sell both of our cars and some furniture. The house will be rented out – I will update on that process as soon as I know what’s going on…which is not much at the moment.
Jojo will go to an International School – hopefully FIS – but we will find out for sure the first week of January. The plan for Maxi is to go German Kindergarten for a year (or two) – he could use a Hessischen Accent:)
OUr sweet but stinky Beagle Old Man will move in with my moms friend Annie – only problem is that she lives in MD and we don’t quite know how he will get there yet…
OK, I think that’s it in a nutshell, I will keep you posted on my progress or lack thereof:) Loves to all in the New Year – may it be a happy and healthy one for all:)Advertisement
