The Army has taught me a lot of things over the years but one thing you never get used to is moving. It’s honestly not even the packing everything you own and starting over in a new place that is hard. It’s the friendships and family that you make along the way and have to …

Thanksgiving, Friendship+Skiing the Alps
I met Erin in 2012 while we were learning all about ARDS, CKD, MODS, sepsis, “The Sugas” and may other intensive care things we were cramming into our brains at the time. She was the quiet, (almost) front row sitter and I was the notorious back row sitter that talked far too much. #somethingsneverchange A …
Malta: When the Waters Rise
We had a long weekend of salt water and sangria on the beach. One of my very best friends from college, Sarah and her hubby Caleb flew across the world to see us… and I’m gonna apologize now (because it’s taken far too long to post these) #betterlatethannever. Good thing she’ll love me anyway 😉 …
Amsterdam, Netherlands: Windmills, Waffles+Rainy Days
After an 8 hour layover in Germany, we finally made it to Amsterdam. We grabbed the rental agreement and headed to pick up the car. I told the guy we rented a convertible and he looked extremely dismayed. Then I laughed. He said “whewwww you were kidding,” and laughed with me. Apparently the lady at …

Ireland: The Ring of Kerry
Raise your hand if you’re habitually late to everything in life (except work)….. you are the ones that understand my struggles. However, I want to preface this story by saying this time…it was not my fault. I was working night shift the day before we were supposed to leave for Ireland. My hilarious, beautiful and …
Octoberfest: Beers with the best of friends. Ramstein, Germany
Octoberfest is one of our favorite times of the year in Germany.

The Culinary Beer Hike: Landstuhl, Germany
It started out as a typical fall day in Germany. Cold+Grey skies+Rain. We didn’t let that stop us. We bundled up with scarves and warm socks, put on our rain boots and hit the trails. The beer hike started at the Berg Nanstein castle. We bought tickets for 8 Euro each, which included our glass …

Burg Lichtenberg: The not so dirty Thirty!
As each year passes we get the opportunity to celebrate life. If you’re going to live in Europe you might as well celebrate your birthday in a castle, like a true princess! Krissy moved here last year and quickly became one of my closest friends (and neighbors) in Germany. We were delighted to help her …

Philly, Family and Delicious Cheesesteaks
It started with an impromptu first class seat from Chicago, IL to Philadelphia, PA. I decided to run to the restroom prior to catching our flight. In my absence my fiancé Dan volunteered us for what he thought were exit row seats. Surprisingly, as we boarded the plane we realized the flight attendant bumped us …

Kindness Matters: Falls Church, Virginia
A Day of Pampering: Warm, cosy and well rested is how I started my day. What an unusual feeling that was…until I realized I didn’t set my alarm and I had a nail appointment in an hour and 15 mins. Don’t mind my stomach that was growling out of control. I jumped out of bed, …
