Real AND Surreal

It actually happened. Since we found out in late October that our visas were officially approved, we have since spent many {MANY} hours, days, and late nights dreaming and planning for our move to Hamburg, Germany. And after two crazy months of planning the move, packing up our southern California home, spending time with loved ones for the holidays, an almost 6,000 mile plane ride, a pit stop in Scotland to celebrate New Years…we finally arrived to our new home!! Even though we feel more and more settled each day that passes, it still sounds and feels so surreal at times to know that we are now expats living in a foreign country we have never been to before. And to tell you the truth…we are absolutely loving it! Our world instantly became 1,000 times bigger, and slightly stranger, but we are doing our best to soak it all up and make the most of this experience by embracing all that is offering us. : )

Lots has happened in the past two weeks, and I am excited to catch everyone up!  We are currently living in a cozy Airbnb vacation rental that we have until the end of January while we search for a flat and get ourselves set up here. There is LOTS to share, so be sure to check back soon.
