Robert enjoying a King's Hawaiian Roll
My family.
Our beautiful houseWell here I go. I'm pretty dilligent on MSN spaces and MYSpace, but I'll get this thing figured out. Right now we live in a small town called Althengstett, Germany. My husband works at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. Oh yeah he's in the Navy. We live about 30-35 minutes from work/base, but it's totally worth it for our house.
Our son is 16 months old. He's an absolute joy to us. He's still not walking yet because he has some muscle tone issues. He gets to be in physical therapy. The interesting thing about military medicine in this area is we get referred out to the Germans for anything above basic treatment. So tricare (our insurance company) had to scour the countryside for pediatric physical therapists. The tricare liason had a list and called me with a couple of places. She then went through the task of calling them to find out if they spoke English and if they would take us. The first place she called spoke NO English, but she referred her to a small place right here in town. Yes we were very blessed to have a place 4 blocks from here. It takes me 10 minutes to walk there. They have a therapist that speaks English.
So that's about all that's exciting here. I'm learning to deal with going from big city life to tiny village life. I haven't had McDonald's since we've been here. We're savings about $100/week not being able to order pizza!

Welcome Bridget to blogging life. It is pretty fun to see what everyone is doing. I am glad we can keep in touch now that you are in another country. I am glad that you are adjusting well. I think it would be hard to move somewhere "strange", but then again I don't want to move anywhere. You are brave.
I am glad that Robert is getting the PT that he needs and he is responding to it.
It was great to hear from you-keep blogging and many will chat with you.
Wahoo for your blog!!!
