Well, hello! It’s me! God, I am a terrible blogger. As soon as life gets in the way, ZAP! The blog just goes right to the bottom of the to-do list. Eh, oh well. I always come back, don’t I?? Anyway, as you probably put gathered from the lack of activity here, life has been INSANE. I know I always say that, but this time I really, really mean it. Between work, travel, a husband in […]
Ok, HOW IS IT MARCH 15 ALREADY? Didn’t we just celebrate the new year? Seriously, this year is zipping right by. Things are crazy as usual. But I’ve come to accept that that’s kind of the norm if you have three nationalities and family on three different continents (can you tell it’s tax season?). And a job. And a husband. And a wonderful, ENERGETIC little puppy! Though those last ones obviously make all the craziness […]
We got to catch up with a lot of friends and family while in France, but one of my favorite reunions was with this cutie! Meet Zeus; sheep herder, village dog, and ultimate cuddle bug. It feels like he’s been around my whole life, but I just learned that he is actually 10 years young, and such a sweetheart. He’s a Great Pyrenees, known locally as a Patou. (By the way, if you’re in the area, […]
Dear, sweet Tobes, It’s hard to believe it’s been a year. A whole twelve months since you left our world – how is that possible? I still wait for your bark when someone knocks at the door. I still look for you when I hear thunder or fireworks going off. We both still routinely reach down from the sofa, expecting to touch your soft fur. Your death was one of the hardest things I have […]
Right before we left for Sweden – more posts to come on that, by the way- our nephew contracted Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD), which is a real thing (it sounds made up to me) and very common with little ones. Because it’s so contagious, little Max was put in ‘quarantine’ and made to stay at home for nearly two weeks. Conrad is on immunosuppressants due to his heart transplant, so we couldn’t even go […]
This is a hard post to write, so bear with me. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you will know that last week we said goodbye to our big puppy, Tobias. I wanted to write a blog post about the whole thing because for me, writing is therapeutic and I’m generally better at expressing myself on paper (keyboard?) than in person. As most of you know, Tobias had been sick for a little […]
After what seemed like an entire month of rain, we finally have seem to have settled into summer. I’ve been away for a while, but I’m sure you understand. Work, dealing with Tobias’ declining health, and revving up the wedding planning, has left me feeling like I’m juggling three full-time jobs with little time for blogging left over. That said, I miss this space and I miss updating you guys, so here’s a quick little […]
