This is a post that I wrote two years ago, when my husband had just lost his job in Germany, and we were trying to figure out what in the world to do… I know that we all go through these crazy times at some point(s) in our lives, but it’s never easy. I wanted […]
So, I get a lot of emails from readers, asking questions about how we got here. How did we get the job? How did we get up the mojo to move? What were the steps and logistics? Some people don’t ask about how to move overseas; they just tell me I am living their dream. […]
