Full Circle

We are here! After an uneventful flight (we were upgraded to economy plus) we are happy to finally be in Deutschland after a fun filled summer with family. The kids did great on the flight. Thankfully they slept about 7 hours of the flight...yes, it was such a nice treat! Emma was so glad to see us when we landed. I am not sure how she did, but I don't think she will want to do another overseas flight anytime soon.
We fought the jet lag and stayed up waiting for our hotel to be ready to check in. Ramstein is very nice! They just built a new shopping mall, BX and hotel which is still in the opening process. Since we have Emma we can't stay there, but we do have a great place not far from that. It is pretty much a 3 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and our own washer a dryer. It has a dog park behind us, which Emma loves! This is the place we will call home until we actually find a place to live. As far as the househunting process goes...it is a process. There aren't many "big" homes out there. As soon as they are listed, they pretty much get taken. So hopefully we will be the lucky ones and jump right on the listing as soon as it's posted. We are able to stay here at the apartment...errr....hotel for the next 60 days. So, we are able to take our time and look for exactly what we want.
Everyone is doing great adjusting. We went over to one of Jason's friends house who he met when he was student teaching here 8 years ago. Kelly is a mother of 3 and opened her home to us yesterday. She has a chicken coup with 14 hens, 2 roosters, and 5 baby chicks. The kids love seeing the animals! We had a great dinner and the kids played on the trampoline until almost 9! Unfortuntely, Grace is sick so we needed to get home and tend to her. She has a massive cold, fever, cough and just feels terrible! It's so hard to be in a new place, sick and miserable! I pray she starts to feel better so we don't have to find a pediatrician after only being here 3 days...
As to the title, Jason and I have come full circle back here in Germany. As many of you know this is a very special place for us...it's where we met! It is so fun to be back here together, married and with children. I only hope and pray that this place gives our family good memories, just as it did for the both of us 8 years ago.
I promise I will post some pictures. ;-) I will make it my mission today as long as Grace is feeling better.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we adjust to our new home. With so many changes still coming our way we are going to need them!
Auf Wiedersehen!!
