where do i start?... how about summer 2010. adriana and the kids go to brasil for the summer. i packed up the house in germany, got both cars shipped, and joined them for a couple weeks. we returned to germany for about a week to tie up some things, visit with some friends, and then flew out for good.
fall 2010. hello california. brrrrr! so much for that california heat. not so much here in monterey. anyhow... stayed in lodging (i.e. studio apartment) for a couple weeks which was wayyyy tooo long with two kids. then we moved temporarily into a townhome down the street. gabby started kindergarden. i started school. our stuff arrived. filled up said townhome with boxes. our new car arrived with some new dents. good times...
winter 2010. went to oregon for thanksgiving. too long since we were there last time. it was awesome to see everybody again! grand folks from brasil came to visit us for christmas. townhome + 4 adults + 2 kids + 1,000,000 boxes = time to move again. so we did. down the street.
spring 2011. school ramped up. took 4 classes. long days. i survived. unpacked all the boxes. we can now park both cars in the garage. victory! weather is warming up. yay california!
