My dogs are a furry extension of me. They go where I go and if they can’t come then I need to make SURE that they are well taken care of. When we moved abroad everyone asked: BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE DOGS? In caps and everything. I answered back similarly: THEY ARE OUR CHILDREN! Of course we are taking them! Duh. Now sometimes when we travel we can’t bring them along, but in this post I’m ... Read the Post

The Real Story Of Moving Abroad (Part 2)
"As we see no economic need or regional interest, your visa is denied." I sat in a Starbucks on Heidelbreg's famous Hauptstrasse street reading the email over and over again. Tears welled up in my eyes and I called my husband and let him know: "We didn't get approved for the visa. What the hell will we do?" He reassured me, "We'll figure it out. We have to."

The Trouble With Following Your Own Path
I had seven bridesmaids. Two of them are my twenty three year old sisters. The other 5 will all have children by this October. Actually, 4 out of the 5 are currently pregnant and one just had her second child a few months ago. I keep thinking: what a happy anomaly! All of my friends will have kids the same age!

I know I've complained a bit about the cold. Okay, maybe more than a bit. But Heidelberg has totally changed it's tune with some of the most beautiful colors I've ever seen for Spring. When we moved here last year it was September and the flowers were still out, the weather was lovely, and the castle was gleaming. Being from Texas I was in awe of the pleasant temperatures outside.
