In which I am left to my own devices (with a quick update about why I can't go back to the US just yet). What would you do with 2-3 weeks all on your own?
We spent this past weekend visiting with some friends in Lausanne, Switzerland. We (finally) got our A/C (mostly) fixed, but the heat wave continues unabated. We sure were glad to…
Kristian and I went shopping the other day and the guy helping us out said, "Hey, your French is decent, are you Belgian?" First of all, this is empirically hilarious.…
We had our first French dentist appointments last week. It was incredibly efficient. I think all three of us were in and out in less than an hour. They took…
I won't bury the lede... the heatwave broke last night! I was suffering at home when, all of a sudden, I could hear the wind pick up outside. Kristian was…

Most people don't know that, traditionally, the person walking the bride down the aisle isn't giving her away. The person walking the bride down the aisle is her escort. It's…
I think that every bride, on her wedding day, is contractually obligated to wake up, squeal "OMG, we're getting married!" while jumping up and down on her fiancé's head. That's…
After relaxing with my sisters, I was ready to tackle the rest of my to-do list. Which consisted of finishing up the caramel apples and hanging out with friends and…
