It's true! We will be leaving Germany this summer and moving back to the the States. Our next (and last) duty station will be Ft Lewis, Washington! We are excited to move close to family. We are actually a little nervous about living in the United States again. We love America and we are proud of our country, we just have seen a different way of life here in Germany. I guess you could say that we have learned how to live a simpler way of life. We know that it is really easy to spend money in the States and have realized how CONSUMER driven it is!
What we will miss about Germany:
1. The simpler life
2. The beauty of the land- Alps, green hills, the farmlands mixed in with the trees, the vineyards
3. The old buildings and castles
4. Traveling
5. Driving on the Autobahn
6. Friends we have made in our church ward
7. Being able to relax at restaurants (because they are a lot quieter than those in the states)
8. The fresh bakeries
9. The Chocolate!
10. H&M (although I hear there getting one in Seattle!)
What we are excited to come back to in the States:
1. We'll be close to Family and Friends
2. Big Grocery stores with lots of variety of foods to choose from!
3. Applebees
4. The dollar is actually worth something there
5. A bigger church ward
6. Target
7. American Commercials (yes, you do miss them when you don't have them)
8. Country Music Stations
9. Stores will be open later than 6:00 PM
10. James is excited to be able to find Jeans that are not "crotch-lovin-butt-huggers!"
