Happy New Year

First of all, I'm so sorry that it's been so long since I posted. December was a busy month for me. Of course, Zoe went to PT three times a week. Our school moved buildings over the Christmas break so there was a lot of work between packing and working on things that might get pushed aside in the chaos of starting at the new campus. Plus, my lovely friend Brooke came to visit, and I went home to Alabama for two weeks. So I neglected my blog. I'll give an update of what's going on.

Zoe stayed behind in Dresden. I think this is the last time that I'll leave her for so long. I'll either take her with me or not be gone for so long. I missed her terribly, and it's almost cheaper just to pay for her to fly with me instead of boarding her. She seems to be doing better. She can walk a few more steps on her own. Although it seems like she falls over everytime I'm about to get really excited about her walking ability. I'm like "Hey! You're walk..." and she's down.

Being at home was great. I got to spend a lot of time with my family and see almost all of my friends. In fact, being at home is so nice that I'm usually in a funk for a few days after I get back. Being jet-lagged doesn't help much either.

Having a friend come visit was so nice too. I know the city so much better now and it was great to show her around. Plus, Christmas is such a pretty time here. I'm looking forward to having another friend visit soon.

I think jet-lag is calling again. It's barely 8:00 and I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Holidays!!

School has been cuh-razy this past week! We had interviews with prospective principals, late meetings, and parent conferences. On top of all that, the normal school day was really busy too. Thank goodness that today is the first day of our Easter break. School doesn't start again until April 16. Yay!

This is the first break that I don't have plans to leave Dresden. I'm really happy about being able to hang out with Zoe, take walks along the Elbe, and catch up on some TV shows and movies that I want to watch, especially Grey's Anatomy. I am LOVING that show. I rarely watched it last year so I am watching all of season 2 right now. I may have to buy season 3 from iTunes when I finish. I may take some short trips around Dresden or go see some of the Dresden museums. Even though I live here, I rarely go see all the things that are right here in the city.

I have trips planned in May to Krakow, Vienna, and of course, Alabama for Haley's wedding. I'm already starting to think about where to go this summer. I'm thinking going North during the summer to be able to see Scandinavia. Thoughts?
