Our Family Adventures: We're Learning
http://thehintens.blogspot.com/2015/07/were-learning.html
A little window into our crazy world. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. We have been here now for almost four weeks and are getting more settled into our new world. While we knew there would be quite a few differences/changes from what we were used to, we are still learning more every day. This is our washer and dryer. Both are much smaller than our American ones. The washer can hold up to a whopping 6 kg. This means I do laundry. And then there is the refrigerator. Pretty different, right? And speaking of outle...

Our Family Adventures: Disney!
http://thehintens.blogspot.com/2014/08/disney.html
A little window into our crazy world. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. A few months late in updating, but time to finally share more about our Disney vacation! Our entire trip was amazing! Our first day was the Magic Kingdom. I really wanted the girls' first Disney experience to be walking through the gates and seeing Cinderella's castle. There is just something so magical about that. And we did the classic rides- Dumbo, tea cups, It's A Small World. Day four was a resting day. We knew that we would be prett...

Our Family Adventures: September 2013
http://thehintens.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
A little window into our crazy world. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. We finally had "the talk" with the girls. The "Daddy is going away for a little while" talk. He's been bringing home some gear lately and the girls have been interested in some of it, so it just seemed like a natural time to bring it all up. I pretty much choked back tears the whole time. I know we will have to keep talking about it over the next few months, but the girls now know that Daddy is deploying to go help people. We got into the...

Our Family Adventures: June 2014
http://thehintens.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
A little window into our crazy world. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Getting Ready for Disney. When we found out that Zach had deployment orders, we talked about taking a super fun family vacation when he got home. We ended up deciding on Disney World. Months of planning led to an absolutely perfect family vacation. We didn't tell the girls about the trip until a few days before. I'm not sure we could have handled all the "When are we going to Disney? Emily promptly yelled out "We're going to Disney! Eventual...

Our Family Adventures: June 2015
http://thehintens.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A little window into our crazy world. Monday, June 22, 2015. We have made it! It has been a long few weeks, but it has all been worth it because we are finally here. The girls finished up school that first week and we immediately packed up (after some celebratory end of the school year ice cream :) and made our way up to Oklahoma to see Zach's family before we left. The girls got some good playtime in with cousins. It was certainly a welcome break from packing and thinking about the move. We'll keep you ...

Our Family Adventures: A New Adventure!
http://thehintens.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-new-adventure.html
A little window into our crazy world. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. It's time to dust this baby back off, because our family is heading for a new adventure- ENGLAND! Yeah, we were just as surprised as you! And we move a lot sooner than we would have thought. We have to be there by the end of June. That gives us just about THREE months to get everything figured out, and trust me, there is a lot to do. We have already been asked quite a few of the same questions, so I'll just put it out there for everyone.

Our Family Adventures: January 2014
http://thehintens.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A little window into our crazy world. Monday, January 20, 2014. Today we are three months down! Halfway done and on the downhill side of this deployment. About once a month we'll get a card or note in the mail from Zach. The girls enjoy getting a letter in the mailbox. He sent a Christmas package with a few goodies that was actually delivered on Christmas morning, talk about something from the movies. He even sent flowers right before Thanksgiving. But three months down. Halfway there. Thanksgiving (whic...
