Boy, Oh Boy

First off.... I made a new header. First attempt at this and not too bad if I do say so myself! I just wish the pictures weren't so blurry. Like I've said in the past, I am not computer savvy... I'm slowly learning how to figure out computer software. Isn't it weird that I worked in an office for years, I can type 70 wpm but don't know how to do much else.......Patience is a virtue that I am always learning and with patience I can figure this computer stuff out ;)

Secondly, you never realize how much you miss something until you don't have it anymore. My point being.... in Germany they don't have garbage disposals. Or maybe they do and our building just doesn't have them. I just got done doing a load of dishes and was gagging at the leftover food in the sink that I had to remove with my hands and fingers. I felt like I was working in a restaurant again. It never bothered me before back home. Dishes were just something I didn't mind doing, because we had an awesome garbage disposal. Now I CAN'T STAND doing them. I think that is why I put them off for a couple of days and then when I don't have any counter space I am forced to do them. I don't have a weak stomach but doing these dishes makes me feel dirty. I wash my entire arms up to my elbow and then rub that Purel antibacterial hand gel all over my arms and hands.

I don't know how my grandmother did dishes for all of those years without a garbage disposal. I'd watch her cook three solid meals a day and then do dishes! That's a real woman ;)

Speaking of Grandmas, I feel like one today. I've done something to my lower back on the left side. I keep getting sharp pains that make me freeze in agony and make me want to cry. I don't know what I've done to myself. Where's a massage therapist when you need one!

Enough complaining for one day, jeez!
On a bright note, we're scheduled to leave for Austria on Sunday.



This is a beautiful picture I found on the internet! Oh my goodness I can't wait. For those of you who know Jon and I, we LOVE being outdoors, hiking, biking, well really anything that has to do with being outside. I can't wait to do a little hiking while we are there.

I have been really looking forward to this trip. It is such a blessing to be able to travel to all of these amazing places and see new exciting things. God has blessed Jon and I in so many ways and we are so thankful to him.

I hope the weather is nice so we can enjoy our time there. I can't wait to take a trillion pictures!

Well, off to do laundry and get this house in order.
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
