Sometimes there are moments in my life that spark a memory which leads to reflection and thought. Yesterday was one of those days. Yesterday I reflected on last Mothers Day, which we were...
After a less than traditional London tour, we ended day one with a London classic: the theatre. Danny, who you may remember from our weekend in Brussels, was also in London that weekend with so...
Theres a whole lot of cooking that goes on in our home throughout the week. Partly because I have a hungry bear for a husband who prefers his wifes home cookin to eating out here and partly because I...

We did some crazy walking in Athens. Thats because there is so much to see and do there. I showed you most of the highlights in my last post, but theres still some important things to share with you....
Last week I gave you a teaser as to where we were two weekends ago. If you talk with me on a regular basis, you already know where that is. Or if you could tell from the picture what famous structure...
Today I am rejoicing. Today, there arent any words that can even come close to capturing this overwhelming feeling of joy in my heart. Today I am praising Jesus for the awesome work He do...
We went here this weekend. And it was so much fun! Okay, to be honest, anywhere I go with Luis is fun but this city had so much to offer and blessed us with the most perfect weather imaginable ...
Spring is slowly making its way into Germany, teasing us with warm sunny days sprinkled in among chilly ones this past week and a half. This could possibly be my favorite time of year in German...
Hey there dear readers. I just took an unplanned blogging vacay. By unplanned vacay I mean I kinda sorta hit a major writers block slash I kinda sorta forgot to even write anything on my blog slash I...
People often ask me how I learned German. The answer? Volkshochschule. Folks-hoke-what??? Volkshochschule. Pronounced Folks-hoke-shoola. If you live in Germany, go to the Volkshochsc...
If you follow along regularly, you know we have experienced some pretty difficult things in the last year and we continue to walk through trials with my Dad undergoing chemo (one big dose every 3 wee...
This post is coming a day later than I had planned, but thats kind of our life at the moment: I make a plan. Life happens. My plan flies out the window. I adjust and make my next plan. And the cycle ...
Its been cold here. Freezing cold. Cold like we put our chicken out on the balcony 5 days ago because there was no room in our freezer and it was still frozen even after sitting inside, thawing for a...
Its been a while since I posted a good book on here. Or just posted in general but thats another story. Partly why I havent posted a good book is because I havent been reading as much as I woul...
I am reminded today of some important bits of information about life in Germany that I have come to learn over the course of my time here: 1. Most places close at 1:00 on Wednesdays. And Saturd...
The late 80s jam was on repeat in my mind the other night as I laid in bed attempting to get even the slightest bit of sleep before waking up at ungodly hours of the morning to say goodbye to my Mama...

Every time I come home, I am amazed at how quickly the time flies. And how little time I have to blog. If you read this post though, you can imagine blogging has fallen quite low on the priority list...
One of the cool things about having a sister who is six and a half years (to the day by the way) younger than me is she helps keep me in the loop on things that I would otherwise have no clue about.&...
I am feeling completely refreshed after an amazing week away with my husband where our schedule was dictated by us, and us alone. My body feels amazing after two days of relaxation, complete wi...
At what point in our lives does the anticipation of Christmas transition from overwhelming excitement to overwhelming stress? At what age does the countdown to vacation go from seeming like the...
I have been meaning to come back to the series of posts from a couple of weeks ago, but life has interfered the last couple of weeks and given the nature of the subject, its hard to just si...
This is by far my most favorite time of the year. Always has been. But I had no idea just how amazing this time of year could be until I moved to Germany. This country seriously knows how...
♪ Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas... ...everywhere you go ♪ I just love our charming little village with its cobble stoned streets and quaint houses. Completely unrelated, our ...
I know some of you may still be battling the Thanksgiving hangover--as in the weight that is still hanging out on your body after the big feast and the days of leftovers after--but it is still the ho...
