We had a pretty typical week at home, with my birthday right in the middle, breaking up things. Tuesday night, Ryan was promoted again (yes, again) in Civil Air Patrol. It almost seems like he’s ranking up every month, even though I know that’s impossible. He’s now a Cadet Technical Sergeant, and I got toContinue reading “Week 207: My Birthday Week!”

Week 206: Junior Prom
It’s been another cold week in Stuttgart! Not only did the temperatures drop again this week to the 40s, but our boiler broke again, and we had no hot water. Thankfully, this happened the day after our guests departed and not while they were there. However, I have learned my lesson about talking about theContinue reading “Week 206: Junior Prom”
Week 205: Springfest
We had some very special visitors last week! On Tuesday, my cousin Bonnie was the first to arrive. She let herself in, and we finally reunited after I returned home from work in the early afternoon. When I got home, our first stop was Herrenberg, where the softball team was having a scrimmage. After seeingContinue reading “Week 205: Springfest”
Weeks 201 and 202: Still March!
It’s still March, but it feels like the longest month ever. Outside of our usual activities, we haven’t done much noteworthy, so I’m combining the last two weeks of March into one post. Everyone’s been super busy with their work, school, and activities. Over the first weekend, the kids had another doubleheader against Kaiserslautern. MattContinue reading “Weeks 201 and 202: Still March!”
Weeks 198 and 199: March is Finally Here!
We have made it through another two weeks! I’m behind on posting, mainly because work has been so busy, and we’ve been running around every evening between countless activities. Life’s been stressful, but we are getting on with it! It’s still early in March, but in the first week, we were treated to beautiful SpringContinue reading “Weeks 198 and 199: March is Finally Here!”
Week 194: Matt’s 40th Birthday!
This week, we continued our visit with Kathy and Elsie! On Monday, we drove to Strasbourg, France. Some of our other previous neighbors, Susan and her daughter Tori, who now live in another part of Germany, drove down to meet us. The girls all started elementary school together and it’s so cool we get toContinue reading “Week 194: Matt’s 40th Birthday!”
Week 188: Christmas Skiing in Italy
Christmas break started Friday after school, but first, we had to make it through the week! It was a slow start on Monday after all of the traveling over the weekend before. Throughout the week, both kids had wrestling practice every evening, plus multiple holiday celebrations at Girl Scouts, JROTC, Civil Air Patrol, and BoyContinue reading “Week 188: Christmas Skiing in Italy”
Week 183: The Marine Corps Ball
After we were all home from our separate adventures the Monday after Veterans Day, we had a quiet week at home. The weekend finally arrived after a long week of school and work. We started it with a birthday celebration for one of our friends at the Check Inn in Böblingen. The Check Inn isContinue reading “Week 183: The Marine Corps Ball”
Week 181: A Full Week at Home!
After we returned from Garmisch with my parents Sunday night, we took things easy on Monday. We did manage to go out to dinner at the Seegärtle in Böblingen after everyone was home from work and school. Tuesday was my parents’ final day in Germany. They stayed busy washing clothes, packing, and preparing for theirContinue reading “Week 181: A Full Week at Home!”
Week 180: Autumn Weekend in Garmisch
It’s been another great week of enjoying my parents’ visit! While we worked and went to school each day, they got in their daily walks to town and enjoyed trying out lots of restaurants and happy hour spots. We stayed busy every evening too! Monday night was Ryan’s night. My parents really love taking himContinue reading “Week 180: Autumn Weekend in Garmisch”
