I love travel and have always been fascinated by other cultures. Back in 2004, I began my life as an expat in Edinburgh, Scotland. Fast forward 5 1/2 amazing years later to 2010 and the new chapter in my expat adventure: Würzburg, Germany.

I Heart Deutschland!
So a long, long time ago (in a galaxy…oh, wait…ahem), I said that I was going to write an entry entitled “I Heart Deutschland!” That entry was never written, but it was always at the back of my mind that … Continue reading
Thankful
Today is Thanksgiving in the US, and I wish we could be there to celebrate with family and friends (and to enjoy the 60-degree temperatures that are predicted…it’s cold here in Germany!) Still, turkey or no turkey, I think it’s … Continue reading

Exploring the Hoosier State
Well, darn it. I really wanted to try and fit a post in during October as I hate to see that month-long gap, but alas – it was not meant to be. My blog absence can be attributed (mostly) to … Continue reading

Oh, blog. You’re like a poor, neglected toy that’s been shoved into the bottom of the toy box and forgotten all about. Actually, it’s not that I haven’t wanted to write on you, it’s just that I’ve been pretty busy … Continue reading

Back in the Saddle
Hurray, I did it! I managed to sneak a post into October before the month is over. (I’m sorry September…I really am.) I sort of feel like I’m cheating, writing this right now, as I’m technically home sick and not … Continue reading

Tomorrow Never Knows
It seems hard to believe, but 2011 has already arrived. And with the arrival of the new year, I’ve been reflecting on all that we experienced in 2010. 2010 was a year of some pretty big changes for us. In … Continue reading
