Trying out a new blog...

So, it has been a while since we have posted on our other website, but we were finding it difficult to upload photos with the other program, so here we are! I hope this works much better. So much has happened since we last posted. Tyler is almost 1! It just seems unbelievable how fast time has flown, which is good and bad. It is good, because that means it shouldn't feel that long until we're back home for good, but bad because Tyler is growing up too fast!! Since the last post, we had a visit from family (Jim & Carolyn). It was such a wonderful visit, and it was so jam packed of events that we wanted to them to experience and sights to see. We took them to Garmisch, saw a castle, visited Stuttgart, saw the black forest, and also walked up to Germany's highest waterfall. I hope they had a great time; we sure didn't want them to leave. One event that took place while they were here was certainly priceless, Tyler took his first step! We are eager for our next visitors to arrive, which will hopefully be Alan and Luann in the Spring.

On another note, I am looking into finding a job back home for the '10/'11 school year. We think it will be a good idea to be somewhat established before we get out for good. This will also give Joe a chance to visit much more. To some, this may sound selfish on my part, to be back home without Joe, but it will be less than a year, he will be able to visit about 3 times, and I can get a job. We made a list, and there are more pros than cons. We'll see what type of job opportunities open up, if any! I am looking for a job (any job) here to pass some time away and make a little extra on the side, but there is nothing!! I will continue to look. I'm having a blast with Tyler here at home, but he needs to have some playmates too. We'll see.
