Gästehaus geschlossen

Earlier today I made my last run to the Frankfurt airport to drop off a guest. Matt's mom headed home after a whirlwind two weeks of travel and fun. This morning, just before she left the house, she filled out the guestbook, I closed it and put it on the shelf where it will stay until the movers transport it to our new place in Washington and our first guest arrives.

We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to host family and friends during our stay here in Germany. Since the boys and I were not able to return to the West Coast over the past three years, it was so wonderful to have familiar faces come see us. Not only did we get to see family but we also were able to explore new places with almost everyone who visited, and that was particularly special as well.

Closing the guestbook is the first step in closing this chapter in our lives. We have three more months here in Germany and time is going to fly by as we prepare for our departure (and squeeze in five more trips!) It's time to get stuff out of this house that we don't want or need anymore and make room for all the German treasures I need to bring back to the States!

Thank you to all of you who made it out here to visit. I'm so glad you took advantage of the opportunity to travel to Europe while we were here and although Washington isn't nearly as glamourous as a European vacation...we'll have an extra room in our new house and look forward to welcoming guests to the Pac NW.
