Moving to Europe

Why wouldn’t I? I’ve been called a gypsy, a vagabond, a drifter, a wanderer … I’m okay with the labels and feel it is my responsibility to live up to them.

Last night as M&M and I discussed the lives that we are currently leading I stated the obvious solution, “Let’s move to Germany and live with Nays.” There was no hesitation, both responded in the affirmative.



I believe we’ll pack up this week and be driving the German country side by the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. We’ll live from paycheck to paycheck, working as little as necessary to keep us fed and clothed ~ Nays will have company on the rare occasion he’s home and we’ll be learning the rail system of Europe as we venture forth into the culture rich landscape of our ancestors.

You are more than welcome to come and visit … let me simply explain the parameters that apply to all that come.
• You mustn’t come during any period of time that might be referred to as a Honeymoon, this is a period where friends should not be visited – no matter the circumstance.
• You mustn’t come during any period of time that might be referred to as an engagement, we’ve noticed in our research that this period is full of high stress, tears, and unnecessary orneriness.
• We will allow those with fancy jewelry housed on the left ring finger to come but they must understand that it is not their duty to persuade those without said jewelry to get said jewelry.
• We believe in children, so you may bring yours and we will dote on them. We will strongly encourage you to stay at a hotel with adorable children, if only to allow us to unwind from the delight that your offspring offer and miss them a bit to increase doting the following day.
• We believe in romance but do not believe in the drama that many feel comes as its companion, so if you desire to kiss M/M/K understand that in our minds, IT IS ONLY A KISS ~ not a testament to abounding love and devotion.
o If you do desire to continue with this kissing for a long period of time, you better have some frequent flyer miles ~ it will take some awfully good kissing on MANY SEPARATE occasions to convince any of us to venture back to this America you speak of.
o We do not say three little words simply to help you fill a quota, nor do we listen to them … we believe that actions speak louder than words.
o If by chance you do convince one to travel back to the America, either K&M or M&M must give full approval.
• It is your responsibility to accept whatever accent we decide to speak in during your visit, it will likely change from day to day or perhaps even hour to hour.
• You must accept that Seth / Summer / Jim / Pam / Meredith / Derek are parts of our lives and should never be referred to as anything less
• We believe that all people have the right and responsibility to choose their own political views but if they must be vocalized through yelling and belittling of others they are not welcome.
• We encourage the cynical and sarcastic to visit often.

Once these are understood in their entirety, let us know ~ we’ll put it on the calendar.

I’m off to pack.
