Three Weeks!

Three weeks from this moment we'll be arriving in the mainland! YAY! Get ready y'all...we'll see you soon!

Things I can't wait for at home:
-Our ward
-Dryer
-Dishwasher
-Oven
-Highchair for William
-My own car
-Bedroom doors
-English!
-Playmates for William and mommy!

Things I'll miss about Germany:
-Our ward
-Hello, it's Europe!
-Being as close to France as I am to PA back home.
-Our good friends out here
-Our adventures
-The bread. Mmmm.
-Easy public transportation
-Housekeeping changing the linens and cleaning the bathroom every Friday

Things I won't miss about Germany:
-Our itty-bitty living space
-Hearing our neighbors and worrying about them hearing William
-Our weekly housecleaner, WITHOUT FAIL, telling me that William needs to have socks on and that he got sick because he doesn't wear socks enough. He's INDOORS, WOMAN! She also tells me to wear socks.
-The hard water
-German (sorry, it's just not my language)
-Euro/Dollar exchange rate
-Hand washing dishes

Great post Felicity. It is nice to hear both good and bad about Germany.:-)I would be totally excited to go home if I were you. It is going to be so nice to have more space and be back amongst the familiar. I will be there again someday. What an awesome learning experience you have had here. I am sure you are a better person because of it.

YAY! I'm so glad it's so soon that you will be home. Crazy times. I, too, would miss the bread and being close to France, but I think you guys lived it up sufficiently. Now come back home to the motherland.

How fun to have you back! Enjoy your last few weeks there. Go shopping! I'm sorry, but I agree with your socks lady. I'm all about wearing socks and make my kids wear them all the time when it's fall or winter, even indoors. Now, go buy some cute French socks!
