Today in our Primary class, two girls were talking about one of their friends and I wasn't sure which one, so I asked who they were talking about.  They said she was from their old Kindergarten and told me her name.  I replied that I didn't know her and the answer back from one of them was "but she knows God."  I told her that I don't know everyone who knows God and she tried again "but she knows God."  She couldn't believe that I didn't know someone who knew God!  Apparently I should get out more and meet everyone who knows God! ;)

I'm so glad it's almost the weekend!  This week has felt like a really long one.  Ever since school has started they have all felt so long.  I'm ready for a break and our next one isn't until the end of October ... oh boy!  But I do get a small break of Vienna city life this weekend.  Felix has been in Munich all week, so I'll take the train right after school and meet up with him and some of his work colleagues.  Tomorrow we'll drive to Salzburg and spend the night there and then come back to Vienna on Sunday.  Even though I love Vianna, I really like getting out it as well.  There's something really refreshing about getting away.

Last night, I got to visit friends whose baby was born on Wednesday.  She is soo sweet!  There's something so very calming about holding a new born.  It made me miss my sweet nieces!  


I hope each of you has a wonderful weekend!  Get some rest and enjoy two days off of work! :)

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!
