The past year has been full of ups and downs and I’m not going to lie, the last couple of weeks have been a pretty rough time for me, but I spent the day soaking in some beautiful German sunshine and I couldn’t be happier to have been living in this country for a full year now. 

I have learned so much. It’s crazy to think about actually. I left everything I knew back home (the only home I had ever known) to come here. My job, my family, my friends, my house. I stepped into this country a year ago not knowing the language, no friends, a new husband, and made it into my home. 

Don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t been easy but I have used my resources and made some wonderful connections that make me so grateful for this opportunity. 

I am the luckiest lady. 

Here are some shots of the beautiful country I get to breathe in every day.
