Blog Name Change Update!

June 27, 2019June 28, 2019 ~ Hollyon8 ~ Leave a comment

(Bonus mini update on life included 😀 )

The time has come to change the name of my blog! This is happening for several reasons:

I never really liked “GermanLyon” very much to begin with, and
I am returning to Germany this fall (!!!) and I feel that with this new chapter, a new title is appropriate, and
possibly the biggest driver of all, I GOT MARRIED!! 😀

Somewhere near the Ravensberg

It's deer hunting season in California, so I thought I'd share some photos from trips that Kyle and I took several years ago in the Tahoe National Forest. I miss these views!

I recently spent a week at Uni Potsdam's research center, located in a nature reserve at the border of Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. We were mostly inside, working on methods of plant population biology analysis, but we spent our mornings outside collecting data or conducting experiments. It was a beautiful week! 🌞🌱

In the past year, we've also celebrated birthdays and our wedding anniversary, attended medieval swordfighting classes, and enjoyed boating and biking in the beautiful rivers, lakes, and parks that Potsdam has to offer.

Yesterday marked one year since Kyle and I moved to Germany! It's been an incredible year, filled with stresses, joys, laughter, tears, and everything else. Moving and settling in here hasn't been easy, but life here is good, and we are so glad that we made this choice.

It's already been a year since Kyle and I were married! So much has happened since then, both in our personal life and in the world, and I am continuously thankful and overjoyed that we have each other through the highs and the lows. AWWFSFADBHFTTUMDD 💜
