So, here we are. It’s been 90 weeks since we drove out of our driveway in Sandy, bound for new experiences and a unique chapter of our life by moving to Europe. We started another chapter when we returned to the U.S. last summer. A LOT has happened since then, and we have been blessed to spend tons of time with family and friends across the country. The last ten months have been such a precious season to reconnect, to celebrate, and to mourn with those we love. Now, it’s time to close that chapter and open another — time for another adventure!
We have spent the last two weeks here in Utah with exploits exciting and not so much so. Here’s a list of some of the fun (and a bit of “not-so-fun”)…
- Sorting through Max’s things
- Swiss cookies with Mikelle
- Colonoscopy
- Dinners with friends (thanks for the great time Margaret, Kathy and Dave, Emily and Kevin, the Guertler family, and to all my ballet friends!)
- Vaccinations
- House projects

- Taxes & financial fun
- Gingerbread waffles
- Mammogram
- Shopping for travel gear
- An amazing steak dinner
- Facetime and calls with kids and grandkids
- Attempting to make plans and bookings
- Hiking and taking walks
It’s been a great month and we have really enjoyed being here. When I check in next week, it will be from the Mediterranean! We’re excited to get back to our travels, but we will miss “home” and our people. Have a great week!
Music and More
This week started with a return to the church of St. Stephan for a choral concert. We also returned to Frankfurt for an orchestral concert, some excellent Mexican food, and some not-so-excellent comedy.
France, but make it German
We did some outings this week and we also stayed close to "home". Our outings took us to Strasbourg, France and into Mainz proper to the St. Stephan church for a concert and some art. We started the week by boarding a train headed south to Kehl, Germany. Then, rather...
The Good, the Bad, und der Hässlich
Guten Tag und Hallo! Sorry for the abrupt end to the post from last week…we were just so busy that I ran out of time (and energy) to write it all up. But I will catch you up on all our doings now.
I’m so thankful we could see you guys and share a yummy meal and rich conversation. Cheers to your next adventure!
Always a joy to see you guys. It looks like you had a great time in Southern Utah! ♥️
