Under Our Noses

Published on March 27, 2007

We’ve been going on our “daily” walks around Steinbach and were enjoying the neighborhood, looking at houses and exploring our new home. But we ran out of Steinbach to explore after just a few days, and the same few streets were starting to get dull. I mentioned a few times that I wished […]


One Month

Published on March 23, 2007

Today is the one month anniversary of our arrival. In that month, we read 8 books between us. We mastered the complicated recycling system, got aquanted with the two flush options on the toilet, and discovered 1.5% milk. We’ve also seen castles, a couple of big cities, a zoo and a cathedral. […]

Chocolate Eclairs and Killer Brie

Published on March 2, 2007

Today we went back to the Ramstein airbase (for the third time) to try to get Tyler a job at Taco Bell (or some other such place). The military is amazing. We’ve never been exposed to the military world, so we’re new at this. First of all, you never have to use […]
