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”

Week 72: Surprise Trip Home!
My parents and I pulled off a huge surprise this weekend! Friday, I flew home to meet my new nephew, Tate. We didn’t tell my sister I was coming in advance.

Week 70: The Cows Came Home!
Another week has flown by us! Just about the only excitement we had was Ryan’s back-to-school night at the Middle School. I love all of his teachers and hope he has a great year.

Week 62: Back in the USA
I made it back Friday just in time for the kids to be picked up from summer camp. We drove straight from the airport to camp, stopping only for some Chick-Fil-A on the way. I have to say I was kind of disappointed by Chick-Fil-A. I guess I have put it on a pedestal tooContinue reading “Week 62: Back in the USA”
Weeks 60 & 61: Home Alone
I spent two of the longest weeks ever at home alone! Just off the heels of an awesome vacation with the whole family, the house was suddenly so quiet! On top of that, most of our friends in Stuttgart, were traveling or back in the States, so there really wasn’t much for me to doContinue reading “Weeks 60 & 61: Home Alone”
