Life of Reilly: One Year

Friday marked one year since Matt and I stepped off the plane and began our German adventure. It's pretty hard to believe that this year has gone by so fast. Here's a quick update of things that have been going on:

1. Matt and I have been serving at the Saturday evening masses on base. He's serving as a lector and I've been singin' it out in the choir.

2. Indy is getting SO big. He looks more like a dog now, and less like a polar bear cub.

3. It's been crazy hot here. And by crazy hot, I mean about 90 degrees. I know, I know, all you folks in Texas are laughing at me right now. And I'll be the first to admit that I'm a total wuss when it comes to the heat. But when you don't have AC, 90 degrees feels pretty toasty. We've actually been sleeping in our guest room because it stays so much cooler than our master bedroom. Indy, on the other hand, loves the weather and has started migrating through the house during the day, following the sunny patches on the floors and basking in them.

4. Matt and I are planning a trip to Rothenburg ob der Tauber in a few weeks. Those of you on Pinterest have probably seen this photo a time or two:

I am so excited to finally see this town, which Rick Steves describes as the "King of Medieval German Cuteness". Gotta love that description. You can read more here.

5. School starts again on August 27th. I have to go back on August 22nd. Let's just say I'm optimistic, but not thrilled about this upcoming school year. Summer has been too short.

6. Matt's been busy with work and writing his masters thesis. I've been busy with Indy and a whole lotta nothing much else besides Pinterest projects and crocheting and trying to clean out our spare room which, until a few days ago, was looking like a scene from hoarders.

So that's pretty much what's up around here.
