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!”
Week 76: Berlin!
Another week has passed us by! It was the last week in the first quarter of school for the kids so that meant we were super busy trying to make sure everything was completed and turned in on time. The jury is still out on how successful we were. It took over a year, butContinue reading “Week 76: Berlin!”
Week 75: Pumpkin Fest!
We had some visitors this week. On Friday, Ray and Susan drove down from Wiesbaden to spend part of the weekend with us. Friday night, we took the train into Stuttgart and had dinner at our favorite restaurant, Abacco’s. The weather had forecasted rain all weekend, but it ended up being dry and warm. AfterContinue reading “Week 75: Pumpkin Fest!”
Week 74: We Stayed Home!
We finally stayed at home for a whole weekend! It was a short week after we got back from Lisbon on Monday, but still super busy for everyone. Friday was my day off and when we were trying to think back on the last time I had a day off that we were in town,Continue reading “Week 74: We Stayed Home!”
Week 73: Homecoming and Portugal
It was a short week at home because of Columbus Day weekend. On weekends that have a federal holiday attached, the army here adds a fourth day off and calls it Family Day. This gives us a four day weekend, most months. Unfortunately for the high school, Homecoming fell on this weekend, this year. TheContinue reading “Week 73: Homecoming and Portugal”
