We are still unpacking and purging our stuff! We are making a lot of progress but still have a ways to go. Monday, I had the day off as part of my in-processing to continue the unpacking process and we all spent the whole day shifting items around and putting stuff away. We were supposedContinue reading “Week 10: Unpacking, Heidelberg, and Bad Wildbad”

Week 9: We Have Our Stuff!
We finally have our stuff! I am actually able to write this while sitting at my own table, drinking wine from my own glass, instead of sitting on the floor and drinking out of a disposable cup. It is so nice after being in transit pretty much since January. We got back from Mallorca superContinue reading “Week 9: We Have Our Stuff!”
Week 8: Moving and Mallorca
We are a little behind but just wrapped another fast-moving week! Monday we had our move-in inspection for our new house. A few days prior, Matt and I had come by the house and talked with the previous tenants about the quirks of the house and certain issues they had. Thanks to that, the move-inContinue reading “Week 8: Moving and Mallorca”
Week 7: Out of Quarantine!
The kids are finally out of quarantine and we have been busy running back and forth to appointments and doing some exploring in between. Even though Germany ended its quarantine requirements for travelers from the U.S. the prior weekend, the base did not update their own quarantine policies in time for the kids to makeContinue reading “Week 7: Out of Quarantine!”
I’m in Germany! One Week In!
I can’t believe I have already been in Germany for almost a week! I have been super busy, which has been great since it is so lonely being here on my own. Monday was emotional, to say the least. So many friends and family came by to bring coffee, notarize last-minute documents (thanks, Jess!) andContinue reading “I’m in Germany! One Week In!”
Saying ‘See You Soon!’
The absolute hardest part of this whole process has been saying goodbye to everything about our life: our house, friends, and family. We are so lucky to have so many great friends and family that we are going to miss so much. I keep saying that we are so lucky to have this sadness aboutContinue reading “Saying ‘See You Soon!’”
Last Week at Home
It was another busy week! I had my last day at work on Thursday, we successfully got Matt’s truck shipped last Friday, and spent the final weekend with family and friends. Prior to shipping Matt’s truck, we had a checklist of things to complete. We needed to gather a bunch of paperwork and Matt hadContinue reading “Last Week at Home”
Packing and Shipping
We just wrapped up our three day pack-out–Wow! In the days and weeks leading up to the pack-out, we ran out of time to get a lot of things done that I wanted. We have been spending a lot of time catching up with friends and family, and that was much more fun! In theContinue reading “Packing and Shipping”
We Have Orders!
We finally have our moving orders! Well, actually we have had them for about two weeks but have been so busy, we haven’t had a chance to write an update. The “orders” are what we have been waiting for to start the moving process; nothing can happen without them in hand as they prove yourContinue reading “We Have Orders!”
We Are Moving!! By: Brooklyn
We are moving to Germany soon, and we are very excited and scared. Before, we would always say about how fun it would be to move, and when we got the option, we started thinking more about the people and places we would leave behind if we went. All of the shows we watch aboutContinue reading “We Are Moving!! By: Brooklyn”
