Week 236: Early Snow!
It’s been a super cold week here in Stuttgart! It has hovered in the 40s since early October, but this week it finally dipped below freezing and hasn’t climbed back up since. We’ve been stuck in the upper 20s to low 30s every day, and even got a mini snowstorm that delayed the start of…
Week 235: Halfway through November!
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through November—it’s been such a busy month so far. The weather has mostly been cold, though we’ve had a few days that almost reached 60°F. You can really feel that winter is just around the corner, so we’re trying to soak up every bit of sun and these rare,…
Week 234: The Marine Corps Ball and Many Other Things
Wow—after some pretty quiet, slow weeks in October, November kicked off with a crazy start! It all began on Monday, when Brooklyn and I left work and school early and took the train up to Cologne to see Bob Dylan in concert. Brooklyn has a wonderfully eclectic taste in music; she bought the tickets over…
Week 233: Halloween 🎃
It’s been another cold and busy week! It’s been broken up by some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I’m not sure what causes them to be bright red and pink, but we’ve had them almost every day this week! Daylight Saving Time has ended here, so we are awake for more sunrises now!…
Week 232: Moving Through October
We had a busy but pretty uninteresting week! The weather has been colder, and it’s rained at least once a day, although we have gotten a few minutes of sunshine and some beautiful post-rainstorm sunsets. I’m still attending German class, and I made it through the end of the third week. I’m enjoying it so…
Week 231: Homecoming
We had a short week after returning from Romania. Fortunately, despite the ongoing government shutdown, the school system got permission for extracurricular activities to resume- so Spirit Week and Homecoming were back on! On Thursday, the Brooklyn and the rest of the seniors enjoyed Senior Breakfast while the rest of the school took the PSATs.…
Week 230: Columbus Day Weekend in Romania
It’s been another full week of gloomy weather here in Germany. The government shutdown is still ongoing, but fortunately, we found out that extracurricular activities can resume at school, and homecoming has been rescheduled for next weekend. Matt and I are still working as usual, so not much has changed for us. The Stuttgarter Volksfest…
Week 229: Finally October!
We’re finally out of September! It’s still been raining almost non-stop and cold in the mid- 50s. The leaves are starting to change and you can feel fall is right around the corner. September felt endless, and it seemed like the fiscal year-end on September 30 would never arrive. But it did—late that night—and we…
Week 228: Stuttgarter Volksfest 🎡
It’s finally the last week of September! Work has been busy with the final stretch of the fiscal year, and outside we’re definitely paying for all that gorgeous weather we enjoyed earlier—temperatures have dropped into the low 50s, and it’s been pouring rain nonstop all week. Matt is still biking to work in the rain,…
Week 227: September Continues!
We’ve flown through another beautiful week here in Germany. The weather has continued to be sunny and in the low 70s. I don’t know how we’ve been so lucky to have a month of almost perfect weather, but I’m sure that means we’ll have to pay for it double later. We were so busy with…
