A Solo Day to Aachen
I have always wanted to see the cathedral at Aachen. It was the seat of power for Charlemagne, nicknamed “The Father of Europe”. I had spoken about wanting to go for a few weeks when a work friend offered to drive with me to see everything in a day. I said yes, of course, and…

Oh Silent Whiskey (Advent Calendar)
While we know it’s late, William and I would like to share what we did this year for advent. We usually don’t get to spend advent together, so I’ll get a chocolate advent calendar (thanks, Mom, for introducing them to me!), and William will also try and grab one for his hotel room. This year…

Happy New Years!

We left Thursday night and drove to a cute little hotel near the Munich City Center. We decided to do a self-guided walking tour around the city center on…

Traveling with a Cat
Traveling with a pet can be very stressful, thankfully for William and I the military made bringing Mithrandir over much less expensive.

We made it.
I’m not going to lie; this move has been complicated. Of course, all international moves are complex, but most people don’t have the United States Airforce doing its best to make it more difficult. While the military allocated William and me 600 pounds of furniture (which is very little, let me assure you**), we could…
