Life Lately

Man. I've been doing so good blogging every day during the NaBloPoMo in November. And BAM, December starts, and my blogging comes to a halt.

I have mentioned it here and there, but just in case you missed it: I will be going home for Christmas this year. Which in my case means: I'm flying to Germany for 3 weeks, to finally spend Christmas and New Years with my family and friends again.

I will finally meet my first niece Ella. She was born July 2015, and now she's already running around. I will meet my new nephew Ferdinand, who was born a few weeks ago. And of course my boys: Luis and Tillmann, the best nephews an aunt can wish for!!

I'm beyond excited, and I keep bursting into happy tears a lot lately. But since I will be gone for a pretty long time work-wise, my past weeks were ridiculously busy and stressful. But I'm all caught up, finished everything plus some extra, and can relax without feeling bad. Thank goodness for HootSuite and great coworkers.

Right now I'm sitting at a Starbucks, taking a break from buying the last Christmas presents, and thought I'd give you guys a little update. And especially show you I'm still alive.

I just hit Hobby Lobby to get some fabric, because I almost forgot the new tradition I started: I'm sewing my nephews PJ pants for 3 (?) years in a row now. This year flew by and I just remembered last night in bed that I haven't done it yet. So after I get off work at the restaurant tonight, I will sit down with my sewing machine. I'm actually looking forward to it :)

Tomorrow there's NOTHING on my schedule. I actually wanted to do Christmas shopping tomorrow, but since Hobby Lobby is closed Sundays, and I promised to help out at the restaurant tonight, I decided I'd rather have a busy Saturday, and not doing anything Sunday.

So this was my life lately. The next few days will be full of laundry and packing my suitcases. But stay tuned for beautiful pictures and stories from my homeland! I'm actually thinking about some kind of video diary as well... We will see!
