Update

Spring is here and I am especially excited about the first spring flowers popping up here and there.
February has been a very chaotic month, work wise, for me. I kept on packing and unpacking my suitcase without ever going anywhere. Bad weather and strikes at several German airports were responsible for that and while I didn't have many flight hours and barely worked, daughter loved it that I was home so much.
On the one and only overnight I was on, the loaders ran my suitcase over with the luggage cart and managed to completely damage it. I must have been quite the sight walking though the airport with it.

Even more nerve racking was husband's job in the military, but then it always is...

To top it all off, on the day he got the good news we were hoping/waiting/praying for, his car got hit while driving through an enormously long tunnel. We still don't know what made the old lady speed up and run into the back of his car. Luckily, both she and husband are fine and while her little Fiat is totaled, his car has barely a scratch, which amazed the police to no end. "Of course, it's fine," husband told them in his broken German. "It's American."
