We had another quiet week at home! Thursday, we had dinner with one of Matt’s golfing buddies and his girlfriend. We met in downtown Stuttgart for Korean barbecue.

Week 17: Barcelona!
I can’t believe it’s been another week. It feels like we just got here, and like we’ve lived here forever, all at the same time. Nothing too exciting happened during the week.

Week 5: Last Week Alone
I spent the last two weeks trying to get things into order for the family’s arrival and doing a little more exploring in Germany.

I testedContinue reading “Week 5: Last Week Alone”

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.
