A Quickie

25 July 2006 31 Comments

Just a quick stitching update: I finished the stitching on my replacement recipe exchange piece. I am not sure if I will get around to doing the finishing tomorrow, because life is still crazy here.

And the reason why is because after many months of unhappiness, Hubby and I have decided to go our separate ways. This decision was not an easy one to make as we still deeply care about each other, but unfortunately we just feel that we can no longer live together. Therefore I have decided that the time has come for me to repatriate. I am planning on leaving Germany and moving back to the United States within the next couple of months.

I don’t feel I will have any problems with the stitching commitments that I have right now as my stitching is a welcome (albeit brief) reprieve from getting everything organized to get myself, three cats, and my stuff back to the US. Nevertheless, since I feel my obligation stitching must take center stage right now I am afraid my rotation is on hold for the foreseeable future.

Wind of Change

At last I feel ready to share the reason that this blog has been so quiet for the past few months.

After many months of unhappiness, A. and I have decided to go our separate ways. This decision was not an easy one to make as A. and I still deeply care out each other, but unfortunately we just feel that we can no longer live together. As you can imagine, this development has caused me to spend many hours soul searching and, as a result, I have come to conclusion that it is time for me to repatriate.

Since I am planning on leaving Germany and moving back to the United States within the next couple of months, obviously the focus and title of this blog will change. However, as I have really enjoyed sharing my “culture shock” stories with you and plan on blogging my way through these changes in my life, I do hope that you will stay tuned for my “reentry shock” stories and whatever else may follow. :)
