Growing up in central California and residing most recently in sunny southern California, snow is not something I am used to seeing, even in winter.

Regardless, we are still enjoying this drastic weather change. It’s very new and exciting for us to actually experience a winter season, and before you know it snow and 15°F weather will be nothing!!

This week is a big week for us because we sign a contract and get the keys to our very own apartment in Hamburg! This step was a tough one, but throughout the process we are learning a lot, and will add it to our repertoire of things learned as expats. ; ) I will definitely be sharing more on this soon.

Also, check back soon for part two of our Scotland adventures! If you missed part one, check it out here.
