not much new here

There have been some complaints about a lack of blogging... I'm not going to mention any names ... ahem, but you know who you are ... ;)  So I'll just give you a rundown about what's been going on here these days (I don't feel like I have much to report):
...buying - final things needed for baby and me
...considering - what labor, birth, our baby girl and life with her will be like!
...cooking - not much, eating lots of salads - pasta salad, green salads ... oh I did make hamburger buns yesterday!  So yummy!
...eating - for two!  I'm loving grapes and banana chips these days!
...learning - to be patient and trust in the Lord for all to go well over the next few weeks
...listening - to my youtube playlists (either worship or the chill one).  I need to put together some music for d-day!
...loving - my wonderful husband!
...planning - to take this week slow, rest lots and enjoy having this quiet time
...reading - baby books of every kind
...watching - a show called 'Til Death
...wearing - comfy clothes
...wishing - I could visit my sisters
...thankful - for a nursery that is waiting for a little person!
...hoping - this week will stay cool again! 
Week before last we had a guest staying with us.  Felix's dad invited all of us to go up DonauTurm and eat dinner.  We got to watch a beautiful sunset as we were eating dinner.  See the high round building in the picture on the right?  We live right beside it.  Vienna is such a beautiful city ... man I love living here!!

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!
