Schwedelbach Germany

 This is our new home in our village!  We love it!  It is so much nicer than what we were gearing ourselves up for.  We are in love with Schwedelbach village.  Its safe and the kids can have so much freedom here.  This is one of the main reasons I wanted to move here.  I will post later about the inside since we are still kind of camping out in it.  Although our first 2000 lbs. of stuff arrived and it does make it feel more like OUR home.  The loner beds, couches, and tables from the Air Force are very functional, but not the most comfortable.  We feel blessed however to have these loner items.

 Jared purchased a new car about two weeks after we got here.  Its a 500 series BMW.  Its used, but just barely.  The previous owner babied this car and it hardly had any miles on it.  It takes the German curvy roads very well according to Jared and handles really nice at 120 on the Autobahn.  Not that he would know:)

 This little field is right kitty corner from the edge of our backyard.  It has some goal posts in it for practicing soccer with all the German neighbors.  Our kids have made fast friends with Max, Leeza, and Paul who live across the street from us and don't speak a lick of English.  (Thankfully their parents do) They play a lot of soccer together.   We have since met more neighbors.  Moritz, Leo, Luka, Ben and Jula (pronounced Yula).  After meeting our German neighbors..... it kind of hit me that we live in a different country.  

This is a close-up of the field.  Behind that goal is path that leads to the outside edge of town where there is another sportsplatz.  This one is finished really nice, is enclosed, and has turf inside.  Its like an outdoor mini indoor soccer pitch if that makes any sense!  They have paths and trails all over around the villages connecting them through the hills.  Bike rides will be common for our family.
