Spring flowers blooming in the green houses in our town - getting ready to go to shops, plant stores, & farmers markets!
We went on a 3 mile walk on Tuesday, which is long for us. We usually do 1-2 miles a day. General so graciously paused for a min so I could take this pic. Couldn't help but wonder if I'm going to have to worry about him getting poison ivy as it warms up though... Can dogs get that??
We've been a little boring lately, but I've enjoyed it. Hopefully I've done a good job entertaining you on here anyways :)
We were pretty steadily busy starting in November with the Canary Islands, then my brother visiting for 10 days, Christmas, my trip back to the US for 3 weeks, and then Berlin at the end of January. Ever since though, we've been laying low and its been nice. Jason and I have had very few stretches since we met almost 8 years ago where we're able to get into a routine. We're not quite in one yet here, but there was a short time in Kuwait and Colorado where we did and maybe it'll happen soon here.
It just feels good to occasionally have some down time where you get into a groove and allow yourself to mentally catch up with life. We don't have much planned over the next 10 weeks as we wait for the little one to arrive, so I plan to enjoy it as much as I can.
Germany is very different from the US in so many ways, but not in the stark ways that Kuwait was. You could have a completely ordinary day in Kuwait and it could involve the most random occurrences that made for entertaining posts. Here its not quite that eventful, so I struggle sometimes to come up with unique things to share, so this tends to be more of a glimpse into our world vs. a lesson living in Germany.
This year is going to be a full one. Starting with the baby, we'll have non-stop company from the end of April through mid-July. Then we head to Italy with family towards the end of July. At the beginning of September we'll head back to the States for a wedding and to see family and friends, and then it'll soon be Fall and the holidays again! Not to mention we'll have a little mini-me strapped to our side throughout all this which will make it all the more interesting.
Anyways, enough rambling. I hope you enjoy my little day to day posts, as ordinary as they may be sometimes :)

Some crazy tall cabbage plants we came across
Everything is still pretty drab here, but the grass is green so that helps liven up the view
I tried another Pintrest recipe this week: Amish Cinnamon Bread. It was good, but not my favorite. There was A TON of sugar in it, which I think made it bake up funny (above is prior to baking). Click pic above for recipe.
I made goody bags for my swimmers to hand out at the banquet next weekend. There were fun to do.
