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.

Been a sort of Busy Bee

At least I suppose I’ve been busy, but there are surely LOTS of bees here in Germany.  In fact, there have been a lot more bugs in general than I had expected, since the weather warmed up.  I’ve had an ant problem and I keep finding increasingly larger spiders throughout the house.  I also, have bites all over my legs that are unlike anything I’ve ever had. They take a ridiculous amount of time to heal and itch something fierce!

Is there hope and humanity left in the world?

personal rantings that I just need to let out.

I live in a world where the media pounces upon and amplifies tragedy.  Where freedom of speech has crowed out the morals of courtesy and respect.  Where religious wars rage everyday in public forums in every corner of the web.  Where a whole community of teenager’s reality is so skewed, they view a rape victim as the runnier of the rapist’s lives. And as I am so desiring to have a baby, I can’t help but ask myself; is this the world I want my children to grow up in?

Frühlingsfest

AKA: Huge amounts of glorious flowers EVERYWHERE!

Last Saturday we went to our first Frühlingsfest (which means Spring Festival) and my first Volksfest. I was in awe of all the flowers!  Every other tent was full of fresh cut flowers by the bundle and beautifully arranged bouquets, for no more than 10EUR.

A Photo Update

Cause I’m too lazy to write right now and It’s been awhile since I posted photos.

In February we went to the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort on a marriage building seminar the army does.

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…

Gone to the Field

a first for both of us

So Cody is gone to the field for 3 weeks.  No contact.  What to do, what to do?
