One year ago yesterday we left our family and friends to start a new adventure in Germany. What a year it has been! With lots of ups and downs, fantastic trips and learning to live in another country on a daily basis, it has definitely been the epitome of an ADVENTURE. Even though there have been difficult times, I am still very grateful for this adventure. It is a way to explore and travel throughout Europe while experiencing every-day life and every moment with my amazingly wonderful husband. There are definitely those days when I long for our family, friends, my job/clients, Mexican food,
Target, Hobby Lobby, Swimming Pools, American television, seeing a movie when it first comes out in the theaters instead of weeks later, Lions Head, barbecues, Sonic, fried okra, my mom's cooking, Brandii's pretzels........ You see where I'm going with this ;)
I know that our life here is short, but God has blessed us with this amazing new life. So I am learning to enjoy it and this experience because it is definitely an adventure of a life time.
God is good, boy is He ever!
So with that being said I thought I'd share our first year in Germany. And what better way to do that than ..... you guess it.... through LOTS O' PICTURES!
If you are not one for pictures, you might want to just stop here ;) I post loads of pictures so that I can have these memories documented for the future.

Question: How do you guys get so many pics of ya'll together. Do you just ask people? Or do you have a tripod. I'm always nervous asking people cause I'm afraid they'll take off with my camera.

Well congrats on your big one year European anniversary! I'd be lying if I said I don't think about how sweet it would be to live there every time I read your blog! Basically I use all of your pictures and posts as propaganda for Ryan and me to start planning a trip! Haha!

Wow! You have done quite a bit in this past year! We have been here two years and it took me quite a while to get settled...and of course kid/school-related activities seem to take over somehow :(.
Have a great next year!
