One year ago, we got on a plane and flew from the USA to Germany. We really had no idea what it was going to be like, but we stepped out into the unknown and JUMPED! Come celebrate one year living in Germany with us.

Come Celebrate Our Best Times with Us

Today, we celebrate with all of you, our dear community, who has made this year so rich, fun, and much more fulfilling! Grab a bottle of Champagne (or your drink of choice), and join our wild and crazy family as we celebrate all we’ve accomplished and done this past year. From traveling to trying new German foods and drinks, to learning and speaking lots of German, to learning how to recycle, and so much more! It’s been an amazing and wild year!

Our Story

In February of 2021, we packed up our American family of six, with four kids ages 11 and under, and moved halfway across the world to Germany to follow our dream of living in Europe again! When we were first married, we lived for two years in France and fell in love with the European way of life. Moving to Germany has been a whirlwind, especially with four kids in tow, but we’re already growing stronger and better from the experiences we are having. It has NOT been easy, but that’s how it usually is in life when you go after your dreams!
