Personal and Professional Musings
I suppose it’s pretty well established that I’m loving Bordeaux. Well, Talence and Bordeaux. I’ve been to the city a few times, as it’s only a short tram ride away, and I am loving exploring my new city. My friend Jennifer whom I met at my bloggers luncheon back in October lives in another area…
I still can’t believe Dave is basically finished with his first year of school. We’re already almost a week into living in Bordeaux and while it’s still probably too early to rate it fairly, I already like it a million times better than Montpellier. When we moved to Montpellier, I knew there would be some…
I can’t believe it’s already June. We’ve arrived in Bordeaux for the month (more on that later) and when we first moved to France, this point all seemed so incredibly far away. Now May has come and gone and it was quite the month. Most of it was spent with post-Bordeaux plans up in the…
To say that this move to Europe has been very stressful would be the understatement of the year. We’ve tried to plan things and make arrangements as best we can and well in advance. So when it came time to make plans to move to Bordeaux, we did so two months in advance. We needed…
After Dave’s final exams ended last week, he had a couple days off, which was given to the class in case any of them wanted to attend the London Wine Fair. Since it was an optional (read: the school doesn’t pay) trip, we opted for a trip to Porto and the Douro Valley (wine region)…
Dave and I have returned from Porto and I will do a whole blog post on the trip, but as a prelude to that, I thought I’d share this first. When my brother and I were little, my parents took us to a theme park or the fair. I can’t remember exactly. It might have…
I think it’s clear how much I ♥ the Interwebs and while some days I really want to post about responsible Interwebs behavior and information dissemination (if it’s not an opinion, google the information you’re about to repost from someone else and make sure it’s true, people!), today I’m posting about its awesomeness. A few…
Today is my parents’ anniversary. 31 years ago today, they said ‘I do’ and decided that for better or worse, they were going to spend their lives together. They raised three kids, making sure we always had what we needed, whether it be moral support, new spikes for baseball/softball, help with homework, or just general,…
Dave has been on Spring Break this week, but since his school doesn’t provide a “dead week” prior to finals, we’ve used most of the week as time for him to actually get some studying done. I still can’t believe they don’t give more time for such things. Even his classmates from other countries were…
