Official Vienna residents...

Visiting friends this summer

As of August 14th we've been:
Buying: new yearly transportation passes - we were then asked for our pass while on the u-bahn so it was very handy to have the new ones!  We were also able to pick up our new Schluesselkraft Visas and insurance cards.  Yay!
Considering: that there is A LOT of work to be done in our classrooms before the first day of school which is next Monday.  Anyone want to come help??!  :)
Cooking: Buckeye balls and potato salad
Eating: yummy ribs at the staff BBQ
Googleing : the difference between wakeboards and skimboards
Learning: it is going to take a while for our brains to turn on to German and that we have a lot to do and not enough time to get it all done
Listening:  Fee thanks to Chante and friends' stories of their summer adventures
Loving: our own beds they are as comfy as marshmallows
Planning: what order I need to do things to try and make a miracle happen before next Monday!
Reading: a women's devotional and a book about a small town doctor
Watching: Gilmore Girls and Chuck
Wearing: slip resistant Tevas that will help my toe heal
Wishing: that jetlag would pass quickly and there were more hours in the day
Thankful: for supporters and words of love and encouragement
Writing:  lesson plan ideas - specifically month-by-month phonics ideas 
Hoping: that the new staff at ICSV transition well and know that we care about them
