Hello and welcome to Fount Miskara. I'm Jess. Hi everyone I'm Jen.

Hi everyone I'm Jen. Welcome to the last week of the year. Oh, thank God.

Thank God, we are here.

Okay, this is a very different kind of episode.

If you read the description, you may know we're doing a little bit of a throwback episode,

but we are

here recording this bit here at the end of 2020. Thank you for

with us. Yes, yes we are at the tail end of December here.

Jen is about to take off for a trip.

Oh my gosh.

I'll let her speak to that.

Jen, you want to tell us what?

Oh my gosh, as you're listening to this, if all goes according to plan, I will be in Germany.

Wow. Fingers crossed.

Yes, you have been hustlai to get ready.

Yeah, I haven't really talked about this this year, but I was like, you know what, let me just be honest with the fam. I haven't seen my stepson in 361 days. This is Eric's son who is six. He lives in Berlin with his mom. He grew up there, but like when I became

part of Eric's life, like I would see him every two months, three months, he was part of

our wedding. And then... He's very cute, by the way. He's adorable, but because the pandemic, you know, travel was shut down. I haven't seen him. We zoom like twice a week but like it's crazy and he turned from five to six he started first grade like he's like a whole new boy cut off his hair used to have long hair he just looks completely different and so finally we went to the German

consulate here in New York and they're like you have a family exception it's your

son you can go to Europe but they said like there's stills a chance that when we

get to the Border Patrol in Europe they're not going to let us in.

So we got our COVID test yesterday.
