Study Abroad with Deb!

Today we dropped Deb off at O'Hare so that she could catch her flight to Berlin. She's doing a Study abroad for 5 weeks! Yay!

While she's out there, she'll be able not only to study German (and some other courses), but also take a few days to zip down to Leipzig to witness the wedding of her brother, James, and her new sister-in-law, Tabea!

It's going to be an interesting time. We'll be coming out at the end of the month and staying for three weeks. At the end of our time there, which coincides with the end of Deb's time there, we'll hang out with Deb in Berlin and see a few touristy sites. Three American babes-in-the-woods, not being able to speak (much) German, floundering our way through the (wonderful) transit system and not being able to ask anyone for directions! It is sure to be a lot of fun.

Meanwhile, Mason is watching the cat (Lola) and making sure that the apartment stays clean and orderly. I think. Either that, or he's going to be doing a last-minute whirlwind cleaning rampage on the day before she returns (which is what I usually do when Cheryl is away on a trip).

I can't wait to see everyone out in Germany. Because this will be the first of many, many trips to Europe for the entire family.

Now if I could just convince the girls to do a Study Abroad trip to Paris ... and London ... and Madrid ...
