Christmas in February
Wednesday, February 8th. We were still eating every meal in camping chairs, sleeping on a mattress on the floor, and re-wearing our small selection of clothing. Yet, feeling very thankful that we had successfully found a house... and we're no longer living in Temporary Lodging.

It's family and warm clothes and presents and cookies and lights and all things magical. (And it just so happens to be the month William and … Continue reading Very New Year
Passing the Baton
Preparing to move to Germany has had its challenges. But nothing has compared to saying goodbye to my first job. I was so relieved the day the students and their families finally knew about our plans to move. I felt weight literally fall off my shoulders as my secret was revealed. It really helped for the … Continue reading Passing the Baton
