Leaving on a Jetplane

And we're off...
If you need to reach us...you can't, because we'll be chillin' right here...


Wir sind dann mal weg...
Falls ihr uns erreichen muesst...vergesst es, denn wir werden hier chillen...


...without any phone or internet connection, so I'll be going cold turkey for 17 days without my beloved blogs. I'm sure I can handle it...haha! Will I survive this long without couponing? ...totally different story! Just kidding...or am I??? :)
And yes, you read correctly, we'll be gone for 17(!!!) days, taking our whole years worth of vacation time and then some, to cruise through Turkey, Israel and Greece!
Katie has been planning this vacation for the last four years and I hope it'll be everything she hoped and wished for. 

I know a lot of people would never post that they're going on vacation, in fear that potential robbers will read this and break into their house, so I thought, that I'll let you in on a few secrets, just in case...
  • Our dogs will still be here, so make sure you bring them some treats. They like Beggin Strips. They will make a lot of noise, but usually don't bite people, especially when they bring treats. No guarantees though! I wish I could say that they're good guard dogs, but who am I kidding...they're total pushovers.
  • Don't freak out when you realize that there are still people in the house. Someone had to watch the dogs after all!
  • If you're looking for any valuables, keep looking and make sure you let me know if you find anything that's worth something. Unfortunately I had to take my most prized possession (my camera) with me to document all of the fun we're going to have. There might be a jar with change somewhere in the house, but that's about it. And while you're at it, please also take the ugly tree picture in the upstairs hallway with you...I hate that thing!
  • If you could sweep and mop and do some dishes after you're done going through our stuff in the hopes of finding anything valuable (Spoiler Alert: You won't), that would be great. I really don't want to do that when I get back. 
Okay thanks!

See ya later!


...ohne Telefon oder Internet Verbindung, also gehe ich auf den kalten Entzug, 17 Tage ohne meine geliebten Blogs. Ich bin mir sicher, ich werds ueberleben ... haha! Aber werde ich so lange ohne Couponing ueberleben? ... ganz andere Geschichte! Nur ein Scherz ... oder vielleicht auch nicht??? :)
Und ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen, wir sind für 17 (!!!) Tage weg, wir haben unseren kompletten Jahresurlaub genommen und dann noch ein paar Tage drauf und werden eine Kreuzfahrt durch die Türkei, Israel und Griechenland machen!
Katie hat diese Reise seit vier Jahren geplant, und ich hoffe, es wird alles das fuer sie sein, was sie sich erhofft und gewünscht hat.


Ich kenne eine Menge Leute, die nie ins Internet stellen wuerden, dass sie in den Urlaub fahren, in der Angst, dass potenzielle Diebe das lesen werden und ins Haus einbrechen, also dachte ich, dass ich euch in ein paar Geheimnisse einweihen werden, nur für den Fall der Faelle ...




  • Unsere Hunde bleiben zuhause, also denkt dran ihnen ein paar Leckerlis mitzubringen. Sie moegen Beggin Strips. Sie werden zwar wie verrueckt bellen, aber in der Regel beissen sie keine Menschen, die ihnen Leckerlis mitbringen. Aber ich gebe keine Garantie! Ich wuenschte, ich koennte sagen, dass sie gute Wachhunde sind,aber wem mache ich hier was vor...sie sind die totalen Weicheier.
  • Seid nicht ueberrascht, wenn hier noch Leute im Haus sind. Jemand musste ja schliesslich auf die Hunde aufpassen!
  • Wenn ihr nach Wertgegenstaenden sucht, dann mal viel Spass beim suchen und denkt daran, mir Bescheid zu sagen, falls ihr irgendetwas finden solltet, was noch etwas wert ist. Leider musste ich meinen wertvollsten Besitz (meine Kamera) mitnehmen, um all den Spass, den wir haben werden, zu dokumentieren. Es koennte irgendwo ein Glas mit Kleingeld im Haus sein, aber das war es dann auch schon. Und wenn ihr schon dabei seid, bitte nehmt auch das haessliche Baum Bild oben im Flur mit ... Ich hasse das Teil!
  • Wenn ihr dann auch noch fegen und wischen und den Abwasch erledigen koenntet, nachdem ihr fertig seid durch unsere Sachen zu wuehlen, in der Hoffnung, etwas wertvolles zu finden (ich will ja kein Spielverderber sein, aber ich kann euch jetzt schon sagen: das werdet ihr nicht), darueber wuerde ich mich sehr freuen. Ich habe naemlich wirklich keine Lust, das zu tun, wenn ich zurueckkomme.
Ok danke!
Und tschuess!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
