May/June Catch-up

August 27, 2010 by kleineklein

Well, once again, I find myself at the end of August realizing that we have been to busy to share about our lives or keep this blog up to date. I think the summer that we keep on top of things will deserve some kind of reward. Possibly involving ice cream.

Here’s a snapshot of what was happening with us during the end of May and the month of June.

This year we had a mustache themed birthday party for Matt. Mustaches are always fun!

Then of course, there was the senior trip to Croatia, but you already know about that.

The day after we returned from Croatia, I turned 40. Yes. 40. Sigh. Matt and some of our friends threw me a 39.39393939… birthday party. Matt said I don’t I have to turn 40 if I don’t want to. I kinda don’t want to.

Then the seniors graduated! Wahoo! You can see by all the smiles that they were definitely ready for this day. More pics here: Graduation 2010

During the month of June we had a few friends visiting. Sally, Bekah, and Becca are some of our favorite people, so it was great to see them.

On June 19, our friends Felix and Leslie got married. They asked me to be one of the wedding photographers. Lots of pressure, but I learned a ton. I especially learned that this is NOT what I want to do for a living. Yikes!

We spent the rest of June helping our friends Jeff and Bethany get moved into their new apartment. This was super exciting for us because now they live in our building. Yay!

Stay tuned to for stories from July and August. Things did not slow down. I need a nap.

Redemption & Manute Bol

July 6, 2010 by kleineklein

Many of you probably already know that Manute Bol passed away recently. How many of you knew that he was a devout Christian. I didn’t. The Wall Street Journal has a great article about Bol and how he gave his all for Christ. You should read it here: Manute Bol’s Radical Christianity

Recipes + Art = Delicious Fun

I’ve found two new cooking blogs, Recipe Look and They Draw and Cook, that I think are really fun. They are both sites where people submit their illustrated recipes. Maybe someday I’ll have enough time to create some of these. Until then, I’ll enjoy what others have done. 🙂 Here are two that caught my eye:

Auf Wiedersehen!

June 29, 2010 by kleineklein

The hardest part of living here in Vienna is that we are constantly saying goodbye to people that we love, people that have impacted our lives in amazing ways, people that have changed us. The Lord has provided us with so many amazing relationships and it just never gets any easier to say goodbye. These are the faces of the people who are leaving us this year. We are going to miss each and every one of them (already do!), but we are so grateful for the time we’ve had here with them. Be well friends! We love you!
