We had a busy but pretty uninteresting week! The weather has been colder, and it’s rained at least once a day, although we have gotten a few minutes of sunshine and some beautiful post-rainstorm sunsets. I’m still attending German class, and I made it through the end of the third week. I’m enjoying it soContinue reading “Week 232: Moving Through October”

Week 230: Columbus Day Weekend in Romania
It’s been another full week of gloomy weather here in Germany. The government shutdown is still ongoing, but fortunately, we found out that extracurricular activities can resume at school, and homecoming has been rescheduled for next weekend. Matt and I are still working as usual, so not much has changed for us. The Stuttgarter VolksfestContinue reading “Week 230: Columbus Day Weekend in Romania”
Week 229: Finally October!
We’re finally out of September! It’s still been raining almost non-stop and cold in the mid- 50s. The leaves are starting to change and you can feel fall is right around the corner. September felt endless, and it seemed like the fiscal year-end on September 30 would never arrive. But it did—late that night—and weContinue reading “Week 229: Finally October!”
Week 228: Stuttgarter Volksfest 🎡
It’s finally the last week of September! Work has been busy with the final stretch of the fiscal year, and outside we’re definitely paying for all that gorgeous weather we enjoyed earlier—temperatures have dropped into the low 50s, and it’s been pouring rain nonstop all week. Matt is still biking to work in the rain,Continue reading “Week 228: Stuttgarter Volksfest 🎡”
Week 227: September Continues!
We’ve flown through another beautiful week here in Germany. The weather has continued to be sunny and in the low 70s. I don’t know how we’ve been so lucky to have a month of almost perfect weather, but I’m sure that means we’ll have to pay for it double later. We were so busy withContinue reading “Week 227: September Continues!”
Week 225: Wine Fest Season!
It’s the first full week of September, so that means we are heading straight into wine season, but first, we had to get through the week! We had a hard time getting things back into gear after our trip to Portugal and only a short night’s rest before returning to work and school on Tuesday,Continue reading “Week 225: Wine Fest Season!”
Week 221: Back in Deutschland
I arrived back in Germany on Monday morning. It was going to be a quick and boring week! Matt picked me up from the airport and took me home, where I slept for the rest of the day. I had barely gotten any sleep during either of my flights and I was exhausted! I wokeContinue reading “Week 221: Back in Deutschland”
Week 209: Halfway Through May
After our Mother’s Day marathon last week, we had a low-key week at home. The weekend came really fast! This weekend, Ryan was to attend his induction into the Order of the Arrow, which is kind of like an Honor Society for Boy Scouts. You have to be nominated by your peers and leader andContinue reading “Week 209: Halfway Through May”
Week 207: My Birthday Week!
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”
