I thought I would eventually make a detailed post about our road trip this summer, but I never got around to it.
Now, grad school has started and I barely have time to cook food let alone write blog posts. Seriously.
Education has always come extremely easily for me, even through undergrad. I remember starting my BSN program and the professors insisting that we were going to have "no social life" and "shouldn't work" because the program was so intense. I was rolling my eyes through the whole first semester because that was not remotely true.
This program, on the other hand, is extremely time intensive. I easily spend 80% of the time that I'm awake doing school work for the 7 classes that I am taking. Maybe I can pick this up again next December, but I won't be making any promises!

Stateside!
On May 3rd, Greg and I landed at Hartsfield Latoya Jackson Intergalactic Spaceport and Nail Emporium. In other words, we moved back to the USA!
Our first week was spent visiting my family, who we hadn't seen in three years. After that, we drove out to Texas to visit Greg's family before starting a two week road trip of the Southwest. It was nice getting to visit everyone and enjoy some time visiting a lot of the sights that we told ourselves we would explore while living in Colorado, but never made it.
I'll share some information about our road trip soon. Even though we moved back to the US, we're still impatiently waiting to receive all of our stuff from Germany. We're going on month three without furniture and it's getting old quickly.

Road Trip: Salzburg, Austria
Our last trip outside of Germany was to Salzburg, Austria. We've been to Austria several times, but never over night. We've driven and taken the train through Austria more times than I can count. We've even stayed in hotels only 5 minutes from the border, but never actually "visited" Austria. So, for our last trip, we decided to go to Salzburg. Salzburg was chosen as our last vacation over Prague, which is probably my favorite European city, but it didn't disappoint.

Long Weekend: London 2016
Originally, we planned that our last big trip in Europe would be a road trip around England and Scotland right before we moved back to the US. Then, we looked into the cost of such a trip and decided maybe we weren't THAT interested. Greg was very insistent that he wanted to the London one more time before we left, so we decided that one long weekend trip was probably within our budget.

Last Winter In Germany
Unfortunately, our time in Germany is coming to an end. It's been a roller-coaster of emotions the past 3 years, but we're excited to be moving on as well. The one thing we've agreed that we're strangely going to miss the most: Christmas Markets.
