Big News

Some of you may already know, but TJ has been promoted and we are soon to leave Germany for the United States once again. It is very bittersweet for us as we have much enjoyed the opportunity to live in and travel around Europe...and there are still plenty of places we would like to go here (i.e. Greece for one). But we can always come back as Europe is a simple plane ride away!
We will be going back to Augusta, Georgia where we once lived for 3 years. I couldn't be happier about this destination! For one, it seems I have dodged the Iowa bullet once again! Its not that I don't like Iowa, it is simply that I loathe the weather and would prefer to live where it is sunny and warm (and without snow). Also, we have some very good friends there, favorite restaurants, the best gym in the world, and the beach only two hours away. And the people are amazing too! TJ will soon go to spend a few weeks with his new team and I will join him at some point for a house hunting trip (FYI, I can't wait to live in a house again). Then we both will be back here by March for my parents to visit for a few weeks, and at that time we will be traveling with them to Paris and Normandy. As soon as they leave we will be packing up and in Augusta by April 1st. Its going to fly right by us!
With this news and inevitable move will also be the end of this blog. I have much enjoyed chronicling our time here, but a blog about living in Germany just wouldn't be the same living in the Southeastern United States. I plan to take it through our re-patriation to chronicle things that will be different to us on the other side. Some of these things might include our first grocery trip, and our new home. Who knows, maybe I will start another blog chronicling our time there...it could be called Southern Belle in Training or Georgia is Peachy. It might not be as fun or interesting as this one, but from experience I know the area has a lot to offer!
That's all from here, and a big congratulations to TJ for another job well done!
Auf Wiedershen!
