1 :: 90 Days Out – So D mentioned in passing the other day that we only have about 90 days left in Germany. I blanched. Seriously? 90 days? THAT’S IT?! There is a huge part of me that formed a “already out of Germany” mindset as soon as we found out we are headed back to Texas. We may still be living in Europe, but my brain is completely elsewhere. And I hate that. The next three months are going to FLY by and I really don’t want to take forgranted the time that we have left here. So I am doing what I can to live in the now, and make extraordinary memories even though we are getting ready to pack up our life here. I encourage everyone to cut themselves a slice of this life adjustment because as cliche as it is, life really is too short. Take a moment to revel in this time period in your life, the age your kids are at, where your siblings are in their lives, your parents, etc. It will never be the same again.

5 :: Wine Fest Season – As mentioned a couple Monday’s ago, we are officially in wine festival season here in Germany! D and I took a road trip this past weekend to the Bernkastel-Kues Festival, one of our yearly favorites! The last time we went, we were with our dear friends, Tony and Jen {getting married April 2015!!}, and suffice to say they were dearly missed. I had forgotten though, how beautiful the Mosel valley is. Holy wine vineyards Batman! They are all you can see along the ridge slope as far as you eyes can see! Bernkastel-Kues is such a quintessential quaint German town, with lots of timer patterned architecture, dirndls and lederhosen, a castle, and insanely gorgeous scenery that doesn’t look real! The fest had all of the local vineyards sampling their best Rieslings both Spätlese and Auslese, trocken and halbtrocken…. D and I came home with three bottles, the best being a 2005 Auselese from the Mosel Valley. YUM! So I thought I’d share a little insight into our adventures from Saturday. Enjoy!
Happy Monday Ya’ll!!! It’s my hope that Monday In A Moment brightens the beginning of your week so you can power through to the end!
