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. William was now going to work every day, which meant I was … Continue reading Christmas in February
Best Fit
January 4th, I woke up way before my alarm (a very rare event for me). I immediately rolled over and started shaking William, "Wake up! Wake up! We're moving to Germany today!!!!", followed by loud pitch squeals. (Clearly, my attitude has changed since that day in June, all thanks to the Lord above.) We got to … Continue reading Best Fit
Very New Year
I just love the month of December. It's full and festive. It wraps up the year, yet preps for the next. It's the birth month of Christ. It's the midpoint of a school year. 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

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
Home Sweet Home
Home has always been a constant in my life. For 21 years, home was the same. It was a traditional brick home in Marietta, Georgia that kept my family safe and together. A place for sleepovers and late night cookies. A yard for birthday parties and trampoline routines. A driveway for my first car and … Continue reading Home Sweet Home
Brave New World
I remember when I created this blog and was presented with the challenge of coming up with a title that had not already been taken. (NOT an easy task). I was 4 months from taking on new last name and knew I wanted to incorporate it somehow (even if I was jumping the gun a … Continue reading Brave New World
New Year, Same God
Two days after Christmas, almost everything I own was moved from Marietta, Georgia to St. Louis, Missouri. It rained almost the entire drive, but it always rains when we are together, so we begin to expect it now. William so steadily drove the 16-foot Penske all 9 hours and I was either emotionally ranting about … Continue reading New Year, Same God
