We Made It!

After months of planning, packing our lives into a storage unit, finishing every possible checklist, and flying for over 15 hours.... We finally made it to Germany!  We live in a gorgeous village called Korb.  It is a vineyard town, so every mountain surrounding it has a vineyard on it.  There are trails throughout all the vineyards that you can bike, jog, hike, and just enjoy!  This is the view from the top of a vineyard.  I went on a long run our first day here and it was amazing! 

This is the street that we live on.  It is called Rosenstrasse.  This is the view from the outside of our apartment.  Our landlady is quite the artist, so her paintings are on display inside of our windows.  This is so that people can't see into our apartment.  She described every one of these paintings to me, but I couldn't tell you what she said because it was all in German!

Here are some pictures of our cute apartment.  We really love it.  It is in an awesome location.  We are able to walk everywhere.  It is also a small town so I feel much more safe going out.

This is our own little porch.  


Brock's first big day at Bosch looking so very handsome!


Brock couldn't wait to get to Germany to eat a "Duner Kabob."  This has been dinner two nights in a row and we aren't sick of it yet.  If you have never had one they are delicious.
