Matt spent the week recovering from his surgery. It was a constant rotation of ice packs, exercises, and medications. He was feeling a little more normal by midweek and was able to get some schoolwork done. Tuesday, the maintenance man returned to finish up our bedroom. It was really frustrating that they finished 95% ofContinue reading “Week 92: Garmisch”

Week 91: Matt Has Surgery! & Brooklyn‘s Birthday
I have been getting behind on posting because its been a whirlwind couple of weeks. Things have calmed down a little, so I am trying to get caught up! The last time I posted, we had visited several doctors in the Stuttgart area, trying to find one that could treat Matt’s injury. We were referredContinue reading “Week 91: Matt Has Surgery! & Brooklyn‘s Birthday”
Week 90: Every Doctor in Stuttgart
We saw every doctor in Stuttgart this week, I think! After Matt’s accident on Sunday, we went straight to the orthopedic doctor in our town on Monday morning, when they opened. He did an examination and looked at the x-Ray and referred us to get an MRI. We got an appointment for the MRI onContinue reading “Week 90: Every Doctor in Stuttgart”
Week 89: Matt’s {Broken Leg} Birthday!
Oh man, what a week this was. It was Matt’s birthday week. We were originally supposed to dog-sit for some friends, but they had a change of plans. Since the loud drying machines were still running, and Matt and I have been sleeping on the couches in the family room, we decided to plan aContinue reading “Week 89: Matt’s {Broken Leg} Birthday!”
Week 88: Home Renovations
We had a short week back at home after our adventure up to Tromsø. We jumped back into work and school and spent all of our free time moving all of our furniture and clothes out of our bedroom and closet. Once again, we are indebted to friends who helped us empty the room quickly!Continue reading “Week 88: Home Renovations”
Week 87: Tromsø, Norway!
Last week was one of our most boring weeks and this week was pretty crazy! The ‘excitement’ started on Monday when a heating worker came to fix the radiator in Brooklyn’s room, which had been broken since before Christmas break. He came and banged on the boiler and banged on her radiator and it startedContinue reading “Week 87: Tromsø, Norway!”
Week 82: More Christmas Markets!
We have finally recovered and almost caught up on our rest after last weekend. The week started out quiet, but Friday, Ryan had a fieldtrip scheduled to Ludwigsburg Palace. It was my day off and since we didn’t get chosen as chaperones, Matt and I decided to meet Ryan after the Palace tour at theContinue reading “Week 82: More Christmas Markets!”
Week 81: Innsbruck
After our marathon trip last weekend, we had a really quiet week. We had grand plans for almost every night of the week; to go to Christmas markets, trivia night, and for World Cup games, but ended up staying in almost every night. We each took turns with colds and the weather has been soContinue reading “Week 81: Innsbruck”
Week 79: Our Thanksgiving
We stayed home all week and it was glorious! We did lots of cleaning, catching up on school work, and sleeping! Friday night, we had a long overdue “retirement” party for one of my co-workers. The Christmas Hut only opened last weekend, and we were able to get a reservation already, so we were reallyContinue reading “Week 79: Our Thanksgiving”
Week 77: Halfway There!
Halfway to what? We are halfway through our tour here! My current exit date is May 2024. It has gone by ridiculously fast. It feels like we just got here (most of the time). The last 18 months have been a rollercoaster! We have all struggled at some point in our new roles; Matt asContinue reading “Week 77: Halfway There!”
