A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
I had the incredible, unbelievable, magical opportunity to go to Vienna. It was incredible on so many levels. Not just because I got to go with my super cute hubby all alone, but because while we were there, I got to spend a LOT of time ALL ALONE!! Oh my. Devin had training, so I tagged along. We're calling it our 15th anniversary trip (it's coming up in a few months), and we had a whole week of date nights! But during the day? The day was MINE!! I wandered all over the city and enjoyed myself more than I ever thought was possible. Oh, don't get me wrong--I LOVE my family! I LOVE my children, and homeschooling them brings me more joy than I ever thought possible! I LOVE my husband--I have the BEST husband in the whole world! But I've never just hung out with myself for extended periods of time. It was eye-opening and really wonderful. In the mornings, Dev and I would eat a lovely buffet breakfast together (CHEESE!! DELI MEAT!! BACON!!!), then I would walk him to his class. After that--the day was all mine! From 8am to 4pm I wandered. I walked past churches and cathedrals and marvelous buildings. I meandered through parks, smelling roses and watching water fall in ornate fountains. I sat on benches and pondered and wrote. It was magical. While it's not the same, I'm going to share all the places where I sat and meandered. I ONLY took pictures of places that I spent time in, so if the picture is here, it means it has a memory for me. I looked at it and enjoyed it, instead of clicking a pic as I wandered by. I decided it was more important for me to take meaningful pictures instead of ALL of the pictures! :) I hope you enjoy my walks as much as I did...

Emily's books
by Dan Brown
I like that the plot twists and turns a lot...and it makes you think. However, I don't appreciate Dan Brown's endings in his books. I find the endings incongruent with the rest of his stories--why make it a romance for the last chapter...
by Shannon Hale
I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!

I'm reading this one again. I liked it the first time I read it. I'm still liking it for the second time around. I like all of Shannon Hales' books.
**Still lots of fun the second time around! I do like this book for a comfortable...
