Week 126: Krautfest & Lasik #1

We had a nice, easy going week at home. Matt and I are both getting Lasik, and I went first this week. I was so nervous, I made the choice not to read anything about the procedure prior to my appointment in order to avoid scaring myself out of it. My appointment was at 2pmContinue reading “Week 126: Krautfest & Lasik #1”

Week 124: Stuttgart Volksfest

We had a nice, boring week at home! All the same school, work, and after-school activities.

On Saturday, Ryan headed to the Rulantica’s indoor water park at Europa Park to celebrate a friend’s birthday,Continue reading “Week 124: Stuttgart Volksfest”

Week 123: Lots of Visitors!

We had lots of visitors last week! Matt’s cousins, Rob and Candra, and their spouses, Kellan and Ellen visited for a week! On Monday, they arrived via train and we met them at the train station.

Week 122: A Full Week at Home

Weeks 115 & 116: Two Weeks at Home!

We have spent another (almost) two weeks at home, which hasn’t happened in who knows when, maybe May?

Ryan is still goingContinue reading “Weeks 115 & 116: Two Weeks at Home!”

Week 112: Back in Deutschland!

It was our first week back in Germany and we were busier than ever! We landed in Frankfurt Tuesday morning after a long nine hour flight, listening to the dogs bark, and trying to sooth them the entire time 😵‍💫. It took us forever to get out of the airport due to long passport linesContinue reading “Week 112: Back in Deutschland!”

Week 104: Opera, Softball, & The Fest

I’m almost fully recovered from the Coronation last weekend! Of course, we had another busy week at home. At the end of the week, I also realized I passed the two year anniversary of when I arrived in Germany. It feels like it was just yesterday and a lifetime ago, all at the same time.Continue reading “Week 104: Opera, Softball, & The Fest”
