So, remember that time we went home for Christmas? …probably not, because I never actually blogged about it! (facepalm) In short: We flew home – we had Christmas with our families – we celebrated New Year’s Eve – I turned 32 (not too keen on seeing that in writing) – we saw as many friendsContinue reading “Groningen Round-Up 3 (Plus Some Extra)”

The Best Darn Mom & Sis Trip: Video Version
Hi all! Considering we took this trip in September, these videos have been a long time coming. They’ve been ready for a little while now, but I was waiting until after my trip home to the U.S. before I posted about them here. I wanted to share them with my mom and sister first! 🙂Continue reading “The Best Darn Mom & Sis Trip: Video Version”
Groningen Round-Up 2
Hi blog readers! We head to Berlin in about two weeks for the Christmas markets, but I thought it might be nice to do a little round-up of what has been going on here. First off, it’s my FAVORITE time of year again! All the lights are back in city center! One positive thing aboutContinue reading “Groningen Round-Up 2”
Summer Send-off (in Belgium !)
I’m not gonna lie. I had a fantastic summer. No work. Lots of travel. Still got paid (thank you bankruptcy settlement). Mid-September I started a new job and you’ll be happy to know that I have been paying the price for my idyllic summer. Nice to meet you up-at-6-am-with-a-45-min-one-way-commute. Long story short, I’m still re-adjustingContinue reading “Summer Send-off (in Belgium !)”

Mom & Sis were always going to come visit but we needed to wait until the fall of 2017 (more on that later), so to think we’veContinue reading “The Best Darn Mom & Sis Trip Ever: Part 1”
New Bike, New Job !

I am officially on bike #4. My poor poor ‘grandma bike’ –Continue reading “New Bike, New Job !”
Good Times Happen For Those Who Visit
First, I’d like to apologize to my Auntie R for my blog posting slackness. My only excuse is that the weather has been perfect. Two weekends ago (already?!), Shane and I were thrilled to host 2 new visitors, my Aunt Rebecca and her friend, Marlee! These two were at the end of ~2 week trip throughContinue reading “Good Times Happen For Those Who Visit”
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Hey! We’re back in action! Not that the blog was ever out of action per se, but we haven’t been up to too much since Egypt. This past weekend, though, was a 4 day weekend here in The Netherlands. Last year during this time we went to London to visit my aunt and uncle. ThisContinue reading “Rotterdam, The Netherlands”
