A Big Deal

I try to keep this blog upbeat and fun, it very much mirrors my personality.  I don’t like to dwell in the negative, and when I do, I try to at least find the humor in it.  “Happiness is a choice” is a phrase I’ve uttered more than once.  So I’ve been less than eager to blog about our struggles with infertility, but isn’t this a part of our life?  No one goes through life without their fair share of uphill battles and I am no exception.  Also, this has completely occupied mind for the past year, so it’s time I wrote about it.

A Year in Germany

well a little OVER a year… ‘cause I’m always late

I’ve made my second turkey for my second Thanksgiving in Germany, which means I’ve been here just over a year and my, how time flies!

Preparing for the Worst

both physically and emotionally

Wow! Italy seems like a lifetime ago already!  The last two weeks of leave, we spent together, not doing much but enjoying each other’s company as we won’t be able to for much longer.  Lately we’ve been making plans for Independence Day and it’s really making me appreciate my husband’s presence even more.  It’s also made me think about the countless soldiers and their families who gave the ultimate sacrifice so our country can celebrate on the fourth of July, year after year.

Memories

 light the corners of my mind.

A couple of weeks ago I helped the on post high school with the production of their musical The Little Mermaid Jr.  I was their make up artist. When I started, I was worried I would be surrounded by whiney, drama and angst filled teens, but I’m happy to say that I could not have been more wrong.

Things that go bump in the night

and the day, we’re not prejudiced here.

You know when you watch a scary movie and the one person who is trying to let people know that this shit is haunted and we all need to leave get’s softly called crazy?  Well, I feel like that one person, and you all are going to think I’m loosing it over here in Germany.  I’m a little surprised at myself for even wanting to write about this, but here goes…

Uuuuuuup Date,

from the slacker.

So here I’ve let a month go by with out blogging ANYTHING!  Shame shame Miss Jay! I guess I’ll catch you up to speed.

Day trip to Regensburg

where my camera died because I forgot to charge it.

This is the second time I’ve gone on a little day trip and I’ve forgotten to charge my damn camera!  But I did get some pictures, mostly of the amazing cathedral.  There was so much to do and see in Regensburg, and I didn’t get to do the thing I wanted to so most which was see the Domspatzen which is the boys choir, so I think we’ll have to go back in late spring early summer and go to a Sunday mass just to hear them perform.
