Week 12: We Have Internet!

I can’t believe another week has flown by! We had a relatively quiet week. The most exciting thing to happen is that we finally got internet at our house and it almost didn’t happen. After all of the delays in getting a tech to come out to the house to run the line to theContinue reading “Week 12: We Have Internet!”

Week 11: Ryan’s Birthday and a Mini Roadtrip

We started out the week celebrating Ryan’s 11th birthday and ended it with a mini, 3-day roadtrip to Salzburg, Austria and Lake Bled, Slovenia. On Monday, Ryan turned 11. We woke Ryan up by surprising him with a huge pile of his favorite snacks; Pringles, popcorn, Cheeze-Its, and Fudge Stripe Cookies. Because of our ongoingContinue reading “Week 11: Ryan’s Birthday and a Mini Roadtrip”

Week 7: Out of Quarantine!

The kids are finally out of quarantine and we have been busy running back and forth to appointments and doing some exploring in between.

I testedContinue reading “Week 5: Last Week Alone”

Week 4: Tübingen and Lake Konstanz

It’s already been four weeks since I arrived in Germany. I have been missing the family so much but have been so busy at work that time has been going by relatively quickly. I’ve been trying to keep busy on the weekends too so I don’t mope around the hotel. Hotel living is actually notContinue reading “Week 4: Tübingen and Lake Konstanz”

I’m in Germany! One Week In!

I can’t believe I have already been in Germany for almost a week! I have been super busy, which has been great since it is so lonely being here on my own. Monday was emotional, to say the least. So many friends and family came by to bring coffee, notarize last-minute documents (thanks, Jess!) andContinue reading “I’m in Germany! One Week In!”

Our New Home; Stuttgart, Germany

We are moving to Stuttgart! We’ve never been, but here’s what we know so far. Even though we’ve never been, we know a couple people who have and they’ve raved about it. We’ve also seen one episode of House Hunters International filmed there so we feel pretty knowledgeable. 🤣 According to Wikipedia, it’s the capitalContinue reading “Our New Home; Stuttgart, Germany”
