Sorry, I know it has been awhile!
Clint and I are doing great. We know our way around and feel comfortable venturing out to all the German stores and towns nearby. Our neighbors are finally seeing us as neighbors and not "those Americans in that weird house". We usually get a "hallo" and some even attempt a conversation. Our street also ends at a trail head, so we see a lot of regulars. We have deemed a few as our favorites...mainly because they let us pet their dogs! ha ha :)
During the week, Clint continues to teach and make the JTAC world a smarter place. I just landed a job (finally!) last week working for a company that deals with TRICARE, the military health insurance. I also decided to get my MBA and plan to start classes this fall or early next year.
Thanks to Pinterest I no longer find cooking scary and I have been attempting a new recipe at least 4 days a week. Anyone who knows me recognizes that anything beyond box mac and cheese and a peanut butter sandwich is venturing out into the great unknown, so my progress has been exciting! Clint and I also joined the pool on base and go swim laps about 3-4 days a week. It is a nice break from the gym and I already feel more in shape.
Traveling is still at the top of our priority list, and we continue to visit new places since my last post. We went on a day trip to Paris, which was absolutely amazing. There is no way to see it all in such a short time, so we plan to go back soon. We have toured several of the German towns that are close to us; Heidelberg, Burg Eltz and Cochem to name a few. I recommend them all, especially those with castles and/or wine. Clint also controlled the fly over at a Memorial Day event in Maastricht, Netherlands. It was a very special day, and Maastricht is definitely one of my favorites cities I have been to so far. And if that's not enough, we head to Italy on the 30th of this month for a 6 day tour! We cannot wait.
More to Come :)
