Sometimes go running out this direction. Recently the fog has been so thick that you'd think only you, the road and the fog ever existed.
It was just a cute wagon, it needed to be photographed!
Bavaria is mostly agrarian, creating such beautiful landscapes as these.
Typical of Europe, there are lots of little stone places like this to be found in the side of a hill. I wonder what it once was.
It's apple season! I'm going to try my hand at making some apple butter within the next few days.
The main road we drive in and out of every day. This direction is coming from the post and going towards our house.
Just a couple minutes down the road from the last picture (walking). The white building on the left is the Getränke, where we go and get our crates of beer :).
A little walking path right behind the red building with the red ivy. There's a little sign to the right that tells you that you can buy honey from the man that lives in that house.
The Glockenturm! Meaning, the bell tower! I look at it every day, and every day I think it's picture worthy. I'll probably have about 50 pictures of that bell tower before I leave Germany. I really do have to restrain myself!Etcetera
The big news: Matt's coming home! I can't say when, but very very soon. Right now he's in Kuwait just waiting to catch a flight. But! Some day soon I'll get the 48 hour email notice. Then when they leave Kuwait, I'll get a phone call saying they'll be here in so-many hours. The last notice I get will be a phone call saying I just have a couple of hours before we meet them in the gym. At that phone call, I get all dolled up, frantically straighten up the house, put a few special touches here and there for Matt to notice when he gets home, and then head to the gym. At the gym we wait for who knows how long, and then finally the boys come in formation, some guy gives a speech (I hope he knows that if it's longer than 2 minutes he's gonna be mauled by every wife here), and then we have our men back! He'll have to go back to work every day for the next seven days after he gets back. The rationale behind that is to kinda soften the shock of going from a war zone to a place with lots of kids and wives. But, it will suck.
What will I be doing with those days? Well, I hope to hear in the next week or so if I got the job with the Army Corps of Engineers. It'll be so nice to finally post on here that I have a job and am not longer in the process of finding one. This is decidedly the longest job search I've ever had, by like 3 months, but, if it produces a job, then I won't complain! What will my title be? Civil Engineer. How cool is that?
We're also doing an extensive car search as well. I've done so much research on cars it's ridiculous, I just hope we find one within our price range, that will last for a while, is a car that we'll both like, and that we can get before I need to start my job! I'll let you know how this all comes together. But in the meantime, pray that Matt comes home on the first flight he can!!

Beautiful photos, Rachel! I can understand why you'd take your camera with you when you go out, especially at this time of year.
Hope Matt's return is sooner than later!
Thanks! Yeah, I needed to take the camera otherwise I'd be photographically frustrated for the whole walk! Not to mention Matt has never seen Fall, so I wanted him to know what it looked like here before it all went away. He'll catch the tail end of it, but not in all its brilliance.
He's been pushed back a day or so because of a sandstorm, but still, very soon!
LOVE your pictures!! I'm so glad we were there...I can totally picture everything in its fall beauty. I think I took 25 pictures of the clock tower, so you only have to take 25 more! Ha! Can't wait to hear that Matt is HOME!!!!!
