1) finding something that i love that i thought for sure was lost forever
this one requires a bit more than just a blurb, so here we go: i hopped out of the car on the way back into Vienna and was in such a hurry to get out and rush to the U-bahn (i had like no warning that we were getting out where we were), and i totally forgot that my scarf was on my lap and just hopped out and starting walking quickly with the guy who was also needing to catch the ubahn. then i realized, hey, where's my scarf? my neck is cold. so i called Felix who was still in the car and he looked and couldn't find it and i realized a bit later than it must have fallen out when i jumped out of the car. so it was gone. forever. sad times. Little did I know, as i was on my way home and feeling sad about a lost favorite scarf, Felix was on his way back to where we had gotten out and was getting my scarf! What a sweetie!! :)
2) having a sweet boyfriend who helps me find lost, beloved items (earlier he helped me find my earring!)
3) good talks with people from my Bible study
4) an afternoon with Felix's extended family
5) having a successful morning in getting more things together for Felix's new apartment

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...

a little check in on life over here

-- We had our "big reveal" on facebook. It looks like we'll be having another little girl! We're thrilled for a little sister for Zoey, plus the bonus of recycling all our baby girl clothes is awesome! But most importantly, baby is healthy and all is looking well!-- -- The weather here has been so great. We've been meeting lots of friends at playgrounds and parks and going for walks. It's fun to be able to play on the playground with Zoey now that she can walk and do things! But also very tiring for this pregnant mama! --  -- We've been doing lots of house things ... looking at doors, fences, different types of floors, kitchen appliances, etc. Next WEEK , they will start the digging part of building the house and then the following week , the basement will be built!! YAY, things are finally getting started!! So curious to see how all this is going to go. We stopped some new neighbors and introduced ourselves and let them now things wi...

Done w/ orientations!!

On Thursday, the last day of orientations was completed! All the new staff has had a busy last 3 weeks, but they were very informative (sometimes overload on information though). It feels great to be done with orientations and to be starting school. School starts on Monday and things at the school have been crazy trying to get things ready to go. There is a rather large construction project taking place at the school and we have been working on that since the construction workers are behind schedule ... we've been tearing off paint, repainting, cleaning, etc. My classes will not start until Thursday, since elementary has half days until then. I'm so thankful for the extra time to get things done and be prepared for my classes. I'm a bit unsure as of what to do in classes ... so I'm hoping I'll come across some great ideas! Prayers for this are greatly appreciated!
