Here We Are Again

Hi Good Friends and Family. In case you don't know, we have just found out that John Deere is taking us over to Germany for a couple of years. Dan just found out Friday May 1st that we will be moving over to Mannheim. We will be taking a trip over to find housing and a school in the next couple of weeks.

How did I find out? I bet you think that it was told to me in GRAND WAY right? Oh, no.....Dan simply just called me on Friday morning and told me over the phone while I was getting the kids ready for school. It was like we were making plans for what we were going to do over the weekend. Instead it was what we are going to do for the next couple of YEARS.

We are very excited. I know Dan will do a great job over there. It will be a great chance for us to bond as a family, and get to see the world from a new point of view. We have told our immediate families. To say they were shocked is an understatement. As to be expected Mom and Becky were not very happy, but we do think Dan will live to see another day.

The kids and I won't be leaving for another couple of months. We hope to spend most of the summer with our families, visiting friends and hopefully learning some German. HA! I will be updating and letting you know how things are progressing. I am sure there will be lots of adventures on the way for us.
Please keep us in your prayers and enjoy the kids reaction to finding out...we made a little word puzzle game to tell them.
