Freedom. That’s what washed over me when I pushed the “Submit Homework” button one last time yesterday. 2 ½ weeks and a total of 79 hours of work was completed with a click of my mouse. Today’s the last day of the semester! I’m excited to be DONE with linguistics work (for now, at least), […]

Turning ALMOST 30 last week caused some nostalgia/where-did-the-time-go/I-can’t-believe-my-20’s-are-almost-over moments. That’s why today is all about pictures from BEFORE I even turned 20. Ha! So young… 2004. Visiting my (then) boyfriend in the USA after not seeing each other for almost a year. This is one of my favorite pictures of my handsome (now) husband 🙂 […]

Which is easier: 1. Enter text and hit “Google translator” OR 2. Do a thorough text analysis of the source text by researching the communication situation and discourse genre, dividing up the text according to grammatical and semantic cohesion and boundaries, separating the grammatical structure from the semantic structure, removing all skewing, and breaking down […]

Throwback time! Pre-kids, pre-wedding, pre-engagement, pre-moving-across-the-world. Enjoy 🙂

Watch out, Batman’s in town! Two of them, actually. Wait no, three… Must be time for Halloween! We don’t really “celebrate” Halloween, but we did have fun dressing up the boys and participating in a campus-wide trick or treat night. Judah’s strategy was to stand back, let his fellow German friend knock on the door (see […]

Haaaaappy Fall, everyone! Time for gloves, hats, collecting leaves, pumpkin muffins, and a 4-day camping trip including long hikes and self-made-one-tarp-shelters, of course! (More to come in the near future on that last one in case you’re wondering) Side note: As part of our Simple Living class, we will be “off-line” until the end of […]

Whose husband goes to Walmart at 5AM in the morning to get flowers for his wife and food to make a delicious breakfast for his family? Mine. What a great surprise to wake up (after sleeping in! Yesssss!) to the sound of sizzling bacon and the smell of hot coffee.     As Judah would […]
