Euphoria.....

I must have my camera on the wrong settings for indoor at night picture taking. Whatever will you all do with me actually updating twice in two days...yes, I'm on a furniture high.


This picture is a somewhat close-up of my coffee table...in real life it's much greener....


This is the ugly lamp picture I promised....


This is (obviously a wide shot of the living room....too bad I didn't notice the curtains were funky....sorry, we live here....


and here is a nicer picture of the dining room....without the plastic bag gracing the top of my new cabinet.....



I think I have totally forgotten to tell everyone what a wonderful time we had seeing everyone. Our vacation was incredible. I wish it could have been longer and we could have spent more time with all of you....Three weeks out of 4 years just isn't enough.

I don't think I have mentioned that Chris is in the field. He left 2 days after he signed back in. I went from having him every day for a month to not at all....at least the boys are in school. It makes it a little easier to get things done.

Of course the calls to volunteer at the school have started....I already helped out for Picture Day...and I'm so pleased with how the kiddo's pics turned out.....I had veto power.

Now I have to buckle down and start learning about how to run a Book Fair....it's a bit overwhelming and I'm the chairperson...hehehe...Power!

I think that's all for now. I promise I will be updating this at least once a week...even if there isn't anything interesting to write about....

Don't forget to say Hello.....

Hi to all!
Just a quick one so I can post pictures of my new furniture. I'm going to already apologize for the crappiness of them. I think my lens is dirty and then the camera died before I had a chance to take pictures of my new lamps.....those will have to come later.

The first picture is from my dining room and when Chris comes back we will be moving the white thing..but I just couldn't do it by myself. I bought this piece for 35 Euro...that's about 45 dollars....

The second picture is from the bedroom and the wardrobe was 40 Euro....I went to the greatest place ever. It's kind of like a large estate sale but all the profits go to an orphanage in ...I think Romania. Sometimes they have great stuff and sometimes they have crap. I think I personally got lucky twice. It's a shame they don't ship to the US...I'm going to take nicer pics later but I just had to share...okay, brag. I love my new furniture.

Back to the land of beer.......

We made it back to Germany in one piece..thank goodness.
We had a wonderful time...Thank you to all that made it so special. Four years is a long time to be gone.

Here are some random pictures from our trip. I promise to start using this more...I'll have time now that the boys are back in school.
