Week 280: Volksfest!
We kept up with our usual routine this week of having a relatively low key work and school week followed by a very busy weekend. We did break up the routine a little bit on Wednesday when we went to a friend’s house for some after work cocktails. This week’s specialty was blueberry mint gin…
Week 279: A Little Bit of Everything
We had another mostly normal week, although Thursday night gave us a nice break from our usual routine. Ryan had his Boy Scout Court of Honor, where the Scouts were recognized for everything they had accomplished over the past six months, and Ryan had a particularly good night. He earned more merit badges than anyone…
Week 278: Ebenalp, Switzerland
It was another normal week at home, which around here apparently means finding a few hours to squeeze in an adventure somewhere. Friday was my day off, so instead of doing the things I probably should have been doing at home, I decided to cross a few more things off my Germany list. This time…
Week 277: Barcelona and Andorra
It was another fairly quiet week at home, at least until we left for the weekend. School is back in full force, and Ryan has been busy with schoolwork and hanging out with friends. Work has been busy for me as we prepare for the end of the fiscal year at the end of this month, while Matt has been dealing with plenty of back to school IT issues at work. After a relatively uneventful week, we were definitely ready for a…
Week 276: A Quiet Week Back in Germany
It was a pretty quiet week after getting back from the US on Sunday. We made it through another full week of work and school, followed by a low-key weekend at home, although it ended up being a little busier than planned. Friday was my day off, and I had every intention of getting up…
Week 275: Brooklyn’s College Move-In
We just finished up a crazy week, and it somehow managed to include the first day of school for Ryan, a trip to the US, moving Brooklyn into college, time with friends and family, and even a movie! It was a lot packed into one week, but somehow we made it through. The week started…
Week 274: Albania
We made it through another week, and we are still trying to figure out life as a household of three while Brooklyn is back in the US. There are less dishes and clothe to wash, but it is also a lot quieter. Matt has been incredibly busy at work with school starting next week, while…
Week 273: Back in Deutschland
Ryan and I arrived home midday on Monday. Our energy was completely depleted after our four hour layover in Munich, but almost as soon as we walked through the door, Ryan had to log into his driver’s ed class, which started at 2 PM Germany time. Somehow, he powered through the exhaustion, and in support…
Weeks 271 & 272: Back in the USA
We just got back from two weeks in Maryland, and I’m pretty sure we need a vacation from our vacation! When you live thousands of miles away from home, going back is never really a vacation. It’s more of a “maintenance trip;” an attempt to squeeze an entire year’s worth of people, places, food, errands,…
Weeks 269 & 270: Two Quiet Weeks in Germany
It has honestly been a quiet, kind of boring couple of weeks in Germany, not even enough happening to justify breaking this into two separate weekly posts. It has still been incredibly hot, and everywhere is sold out of air conditioners. We already have three in our house, but we decided we have become far…
