Meet Aaron and Meghan - scuba diving, traveling, and recovering expats! They just moved back from Germany, where they lived and worked for two years and are now making their home in the great state of Texas, quite a change for these northerners! Follow along as they dive and travel all over the world.
They say that communication in a relationship is key, right? Well then, how does that work underwater, and how can it be good for a marriage if you can't actually talk to the other person (unless you have a full face mask equipped with communication)?
Read MoreYou're sitting there on the boat, in between two dives. You're relaxed, enjoying your surface interval, perhaps grabbing a snack and some water, talking about the dive you just finished, when suddenly, another diver pops up, flailing and yelling for help. What do you do?
Read MoreAfter our German lesson on Saturday, we headed to White Star Quarry for some diving and camping during the long weekend. First up was a night dive on Saturday. After a quick dinner at the local bar/restaurant, we geared up and hopped into the water at dusk.
Read MoreI feel like this month has been very educational. It started with our rescue diver class (which finishes up this week - yay!) and then continued with German language class (which shall continue for the foreseeable future).
Read MoreWe're switching topics a little bit for today. Instead of talking scuba diving, we going to talk about (wait for it) gardening! On Saturday, we went to the Belle Isle Conservancy Spring Plant sale to pick up some heirloom variety tomatoes any anything else that caught our eye. The plant sale is a unique partnership between the conservancy and Detroit Public Schools. The students start the seedlings, market the sale and then help with the event. All proceeds benefit DPS's Agriscience program. Helping a local group and getting heirloom tomatoes for cheap? Sounds good in my book!
Read MoreOne of the best benefits of working for a large corporation has to be the fact that there is a manufacturing facility in almost every state in America, and Tennessee is one of those states. This week I had the great fortune of travelling to our compounding facility to assist with their electrical safety training program. My last trip to Tennessee involved visiting another large waterfall which was Burgess Falls. This trip involved a short trip to Fall Creek Falls, one of the many state parks that has a waterfall as the crown jewel of the park.
Read More...Thank you.
Today, we would like to take a minute to thank all our mothers and grandmothers for all they've done. Without you, we wouldn't be here today (figuratively, and quite literally too). Over the years, your love, sacrifices and support have molded us in to the people we are today, and for that, you deserve more than just a day of recognition, you deserve a lifetime of thanks, our love and respect.
Each year, the alumnae chapter I am in hosts a Mother Daughter Brunch. My mom and I have attended for the past three years. It's always nice to be able to spend a couple hours with sisters and their mothers. Some sisters even bring multiple generations of their family (which is really cool to see)! Click through the photos below for some pictures from the luncheon.
In the summer of 2014, the Oaks' packed up their life and moved to Mannheim, Germany. Now they live in Texas! Follow along as this former expat couple travels the world with the two girls, doing some scuba diving along the way!
Welcome! We're Aaron and Meghan. This is a place where we blog about our travels, scuba diving, our experience living as expats in Germany, and now what it's like to be repats in Texas. Please join us on our journey!
