Life as a Country Girl

While life on a small Army post is rather dull, life in the German countryside is awesome! We are within walking distance of miles and miles of trails through the most enchanting forests and country I have ever experienced. For the last day of Justin's time off we decided to take Riley on a long hike. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining (a miracle in Baumholder) and we woke up early to get a good start. We hiked an hour and half up the side of a mountain to be greeted with a gorgeous panoramic view of the area. 

My Boys!

It's hard to imagine life getting any better than this! Especially because the trail that led down the backside of the mountain was steep, icy and essentially a death trap. Luckily the three of us made it safely down despite the ringing artillery fire in the back ground and drastic drop in temperature... Life has been more of an adventure than I could ever imagine and I can't wait to see what is in store for us next!
