one day...

...I hope things will slow down. Today I got the feeling like the world was going to cave in soon. It feels a bit better now, but this next month is going to be crazy. I'm moving this weekend. Finishing school in 20 days. Getting married in 30!! These are all good things, but overwhelming when you put them all together. Here's a brief glimpse into what's been going on in my life...

Buying: things for the apartment
Considering: how the move this weekend will go and how long it will actually take
Cooking: lucky if I have time for this! I did cook Thai pizza w/ my roommate on Monday though.
Eating: Happy Noodle
Googleing: hum, haven't done much of this lately!
Learning: that I have so very much to learn about life
Listening: to the German song, Ich bin bei dir (I am with you) - it helps me calm down and remember who is on my side and carrying me through it all!
Loving: unexpected family time and the thought of having the whole family together in just a few short weeks!
Planning: a wedding, duh! :)
Reading: my Bible, emails, not much else these days
Watching: trying to catch up on TV shows I like, there's not much time though!
Wearing: sweaters again! Winter has come back ... sigh ...
Wishing: that summer and warm weather and sun were here.
Thankful: to be blessed with so very much!
Writing: not really much here, unless you count guest lists and correcting work from the kids.
Hoping: I finish the school year well.

Sorry that I have been so bad at this lately. I hope you understand and that this helps give you a brief glimpse of what's happening in my life.

10 Months

Baby Z is ten months today.  She's moving into toddlerhood and out of babyness...boo hoo....She's starting to have her own little will and get angry when things don't go her way.  She's realized she can make us laugh.  She loves watching little kids and squeals with delight.  Stroller rides are a favorite and also nice for a little snooze at times.  Cheerios are another favorite {she's a great eater, just not a good drinker}.  Sleeping through the night is almost an everyday occurrence {PTL!}!  Her sleeping postions are always quite amusing...you never know how you will find her.  She's incredibly curious and loves getting into things {empty boxes, laundry baskets, bags, etc is highly entertaining}.  If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them.  She has so much energy.  Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour.  I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle.  I look forwa

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 they didn't
