The End of An Adventure
Like all good stories, the time has come for us to close the current chapter and move to the next. At the end of February, I was notified that I had been selected for a new job and that, despite our assignment extension late last summer, we'd be moving in Summer 2020 (subject to COVID-19 delays of course).
This news has been bittersweet for us. We've genuinely loved living in Germany and Europe as whole. The location, pace of life and the amazing travel opportunities have been such a blessing for our family. Yet, all the while, we knew that this was a temporary assignment. Yes, there are thousands of Americans who have made Europe their permanent home, but we have never felt such a calling. This has been an amazing season of our lives and we will miss our life here in our corner of SW Germany; but we are excited for our next chapter.
As we've written in previous posts, we love the mountains. We loved their proximity when we resided in Colorado, longed to be closer to them when we lived outside Washington, D.C., and have relished exploring sections of the Alps--even if we didn't do as much of it as we wanted to. The dramatic peaks of the Alps are a sight that won't be easily forgotten. How do they compare with the grandness of the Rockies?
We'll let you know in a few months once we move back to Colorado.
