Say Hello to Summer and a New Blog

I cannot believe that it is June already. I honestly do not know where the time goes. We will blink and the month will be over, taking half of 2016 with it.

Summer is the time of year I have always looked forward to. Consistently great weather, wonderful clothes, and so many things to do. Like many things about Europe, I am excited and curious about summer time here. Coming from Texas it is hot, hot, HOT as our weather options, so hot in fact some days you would rather stay inside with the AC on full blast. Though I miss Texas a lot I am ready to see a summer without 100+ degree weather everyday.

My First Taste of Italy: Milan

Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Austria, and….

I have officially traveled to/within five countries within seven months of my arrival. I swear even now it doesn’t always feel real. How did I get so blessed to be living this life? So many wonderful places to experience and all at the tips of my fingers. I could not have asked for a better life.

Today We Remember...

Today is a day to remember. To honor those that have sacrificed everything in the name of our country. Take time to remember them today and to thank them for paying the ultimate price for our country.

Five on Friday: Beauty and the Beast and Other Love Stories

Who else is ready for the weekend? Only four days in the week and yet this one felt SO long, so time to have some fun.

Chewy, Chocolatey, Chocolate Chip Cookies

A while back I made several items to contribute to the Company's bake sale. I of course made my sugar cookies with a Spring time color twist, a batch of s'mores bars (I'll add that recipe later), and these delicious chocolate chip cookies. They are so addictive and at a batch of about three dozen be careful leaving these in the house.
