I'm happy to say come July my address will be changing. We are moving back to the States....woot, woot! I wish it was to our home in Salt Lake City, Utah. But I'm excited just them same we are moving to Western New York. We visited there over Spring break I loved the area it reminds me a lot of were I grew up in New Jersey. Small towns or villages as they call them with main streets and lemonade porch houses. We found a few houses we like but haven't decided on one yet. We are looking near my husband's corporate offices in East Aurora. So East Aurora, Orchard Park, Elma area. We are all really excited about the next chapter in our life. I have had a especially hard time living in the North of Germany and need to be back in a comfort zone of America. The sad part is I have been Frau for the last two years not sure what my name will be do I go back to Kathy or take on Lady Liberty or Buffalo babe. All I know is the JayZ and Alicia Keys song "Empire State of Mind" is my new theme song. As Miss Alicia sings " these streets are gonna make you brand new" "where dreams come true". Right now it's what I need to feel new again or at least like the old me.

This is GREAT news. You must be over-the-moon! Now-I think we should work on a huge blog-gathering at some point~ wouldn't that be fun? Isn't Paris coming up soon?
what exciting news! will be so nice to be back home, even if it isn't Utah! you made it and will reminisce about your crazy time in Germany!!
xoxo
Wow, I am happy you get to return to the states! I grew up in CT, so the East Coast will always be my home. I am getting really excited to go back to Portland, although it will be hard to be there without my husband for my temporary move. We have loved living in Germany so far, but I definitely miss the US too!
Best wishes to you and your family as you start the next adventure! Hope you enjoy your last few months in Germany and good luck with the move!
Congrats Frau! It's not Utah but at least it's the same country!! Yay!
Welcome back, Mama! Western New York is lovely and guess what -- they speak English. No more stern teachers that ask if you let just anyone in. I'm so happy for you. And you can visit Salt Lake without your passport.
Happy News!
