5:15 a.m.

7, Dec 2009

Saturday night, well actually Sunday morning, we went to bed at 5:15 a.m. Adam was sick, and I was uploading a million photos from our trip. Go check out our photos page. Then I slept until 2 p.m.
Last night, we went to bed around midnight, and we’re both awake now at 5:15 a.m. unable to [...]

A Felicitous Encounter

20, Nov 2009

Today was our fourth and final day in Balti/Falesti, Moldova visiting Felicia. We’ve had an amazing time. Everything has been even better than we had imagined, and I think we were able to encourage Felicia in addition to spoiling her with some nice things. On top of that, we had two nice afternoons getting to [...]

We’re Going to Meet Felicia

9, Nov 2009

Four years ago, Adam and I saw this adorable photo of seven-year-old Felicia Stavila, and we knew we had to love her. Felicia lives in an orphanage in the little village of Falesti, Moldova. Moldova is one of the smallest and poorest countries in Europe– a tiny crescent between Romania and the Ukraine.
Moldova has an [...]

It’s a gas, gas, gas

11, Sep 2009

Seeing as a person is completely stranded in big-wide America without a car, Adam’s parents have awesomely lent us one of theirs while we’re in town. Although I’m a good driver, I don’t love to drive. I happily let Adam drive almost all of the time. Add to that the fact that we don’t have [...]

Back to Nashville

3, Sep 2009

It rained and stormed last night and echoed through our empty house. I got out of bed, which is a mattress on the floor, and watched the rain through the window in the front door and listened to the unfamiliar sounds reverberating through the empty house. It was so peaceful.
Now it is morning , and [...]

Venice!

11, Jun 2009

It seems free wifi is not as plentiful as we had hoped, so I’ll make this short for now.
Venice. Wow.
We parted with London this morning, for the time being and rode the flying bus that is Ryanair over the Alps into Venice. London was a really nice and relaxed way to start our trip, staying [...]

A-Z in Europe

8, Jun 2009

During our night in Tokyo and then again on our flight into London, Adam and I took a few minutes to really think about some things we were looking forward to in these six months in Europe. Here are some things we came up with:
Jessica’s Euro trip alphabet:
Airports and the anticipation of arrival
Barcelona
Climbing hills to [...]

Airport hotel

4, Jun 2009

We’re spending the night at the Nikko Narita Hotel, just across from the Tokyo Narita airport. Airport hotels are such strange, time warped limbo zones. We’re in Japan. But not really. One could stay a week in an airport hotel and could not honestly say they had been to the city in which it was [...]

A flurry

3, Jun 2009

My body is all jittery and my belly fluttery. You’ve probably seen the flurry of activity on this site recently, what with a new layout, maps, CDs, tweets, art shows, and a new professional site… that flurry of cyber activity is moderately indicative of the frenzy that has been our life in the past few [...]

Available now! Hooray!

3, Jun 2009

Look! It’s online now! You can order CDs to be shipped anywhere in the world. You can also buy mp3s on CDBaby. We’ll be up on iTunes and such soon, but that takes a little longer to process. We’ll let you know when that’s live.
We’re so glad that the day has come to share our [...]
