Lots of pictures...

Some views of our new apartment; including the walk from our U-Bahn stop to the building.
Our first walk through the inner city of Vienna
BBQ at the Richards family home. They have been at VCS (now ICSV) for 8 years. One of their daughters will be in my AP class this year. We had a great time of fellowship and dinner. Smores for dessert - Austrian style - were great.
Part of being a teacher at ICSV is manual labor.
Enjoying a knockoff Chipotle burrito at a park in inner city. Pretty dang good...and, it was the last day before they were going to close the restaurant for 3 weeks, so we got extra meat and sodas for half price!
BBQ at the Spooner's house. Awesome place on the Alte Danau...unfortunately, it rained the whole day. Still very fun!

  1. Awesome pictures and enjoyed your play by play of your departure from home, flight, entry, and first several hours. Let me know if you find a good way to upload video...I'm trying several through Picasa but they are taking forever (huge files and slow upload speed) - I found a better way to do the pics on picasa to post to the blog. After you load your pics on Picasa into a new album (folder) you can put a star by each picture you want to upload later - you can caption each picture in Picasa - click upload to web album (make sure you have selected the whole folder) and there will be an option to upload only pictures that have a star - once they upload to your Picasa web album there is a blogger link - if you do it correctly you will see a single picture in your blog and if you click it will open to your picasa web album where you can do a slide show and see the captions - much easier than uploading one at a time via blogger with the 5 at a time limit...let us know when you are on Skype too OK?

and baby makes four...

that's right...our little family will soon become a foursome. We have found out that Rebecca is 6 weeks pregnant! There is definitely "something in the water" as all the families that live within our block have recently had a baby or are currently pregnant. Our baby will be the 6th baby born to ICSV staff in a span of less than a year (first one was born in early November and we will be welcoming our new addition in September). So, kind of unexpected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless!

The day that changed our lives...

Today (Nov 10) is Justin's birthday. Obviously, the birthday of your child holds a special meaning. Over the course of the last three days, I have been reminded of how exciting a birthday truly is. His excitement reminds me of the excitement we felt in anticipation of his birth, and, I think the excitement that God feels as his children enter into relationship with HIM. Justin seems to think that we will forget that today is his birthday. I base this on the simple fact that he has reminded us no less than 5 times/day since Sunday. I'm not sure exactly why, he hasn't quite been this excited about his birthday in the past; maybe it has something to do with this being the first birthday in Austria...I'm just not sure. But the joy that he carries (and expects from everyone around him) in anticipation of this day is a bit infectious. As many of you are aware, Justin was born in the middle of our senior year in high school. We were so emotionally unprepared (being so youn...

First days in Vienna

So it has been awhile since we have had the opportunity to update the blog…and as I sit here typing, I realize that I’m not exactly sure when I will be able to post what I am writing to the actual site…. I figure I should give you a rundown the last 2 days in Vienna (our first days in the city!). I’ll try to chunk it down into bite-sized chapters…I hope you enjoy! Departure from LAX, and flight to London Had a pretty easy time getting our baggage checked and then going through security…in between the two, we were able to meet up with Amanda Howard and had a chance to sit down and talk with here and her family as we waited. I’ve included some pictures of us waiting in the terminal… The flight was uneventful; little bit of turbulence, decent meal, movies galore, and minimal sleep. I was able to sleep a little, but Justin didn’t sleep until we were about 7 hours into the flight, and that was after a little mini-freak out session (his legs were hurting him and cramping). Arriva...
