Back to the Blog...

We had an exciting and busy holiday season and have been very neglectful of the blog as of late. We returned to Germany on January 3rd after 6 weeks in the US (for me) and about 4 weeks for Jeff. We spent the entire time home visiting with family and friends and going to all the places that we missed. We started our visit home with Thanksgiving with the Weber’s and then reunited with many of our friends at Nicki & Keith’s wedding. We were so glad to be home to celebrate with them! Christmas was also filled with lots of family visiting and holiday parties. We ate a ton and were happily reminded of all the food options in the US that we don’t have in Germany. And we did our share to stimulate the economy in the retail sector as well. But all good things do come to an end and we are back in Germany and getting readjusted to our life here. We are gearing up for a ski trip next week to Zermatt, Switzerland and have gone to a smaller resort here in Germany 2 times to warm up. We are back to the gym and were warmly welcomed by everyone who thought we were on “vacation” for 6 weeks. It has been very cold and snowy since our return, but the sun has come out almost everyday, which makes it a little better. With winter in full effect, we are very much looking forward to spring!
