My DH had his retirement ceremony last week and started his new job on Monday. I changed the picture to one of my DH and DS in their uniforms. JD is just starting out and Jeff is finishing. It's funny how life goes full circle. It's a huge transition for us but we have a lot of peace about the decision to retire and we are looking forward to being civilians. I am not crazy about the weekly travels to Oklahoma, but he's home for the weekend which is nice. Fortunately it's only until June. It does give me lots of stitching time during the week, always a good thing. I am going to go visit OKC at least once and make a trip to the Silver Needle while I am there.
I spent this week sorting and stitching. I did finish a couple of things but they are secrets :-). I also kitted up a bunch of projects, the fobs for my mom, 14 in all, and the exchanges and gifts I need to do for the next several months. I thought I'd get those bits and pieces done and then I am going to concentrate on VoHRH and Mary Beale's Advent Sampler. I have a few other small projects kitted and ready to go so I have plenty to keep me busy, LOL.
Hope you all have a great weekend, we are going to relax and rent a couple of movies. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday I can post pictures of what I've been working on :-).

Sounds like you have lots of projects waiting in the wings :)
Sounds like life will be busy in the coming months, I wish you a good move and lots of stitching moments in between. Congrats to the DH on such a great find, there is nothing like loving and believing in what you do all day.
Katrina, How proud we are of both of you in your DH's retirement! No man can do his work without a good wife's support and we all know that. He looks happy and well fed...so we know you are a big part of that! Congratulations to you both. Now I'm also dying to see your stitching things!!! Hurry and show us, please!! Fondly,
Deb in FL

Can't wait to see what you've been stitching on. Enjoy your extra stitching time!
What a great photo and bittersweet in all regards I'm sure. I might need to contact you as a friend of mine might be getting transfer orders to Belgium withint the year and I thought you could give her lots of good info. Of course, with the Air Force, you never know until it's actually done. For all she knows they might end up elsewhere but for now that's the chatter.
