Sometimes it ain't that easy

Well, we're here...6 weeks after departure from Taiwan and we are settling into Germany. We were naively thinking Europe would be an easier adjustment than Asia, but some things are universal...."Dorothy, you are not in Kansas anymore". We are adjusting to our new home in Duesseldorf as well as getting into the routine of our jobs. Buddy is still doing NPL work for Deloitte and Touche and yes, I have racked up 10 years with EDS...hard to imagine. Over the course of the next few weeks as I learn the blogger thing (thanks, Amber, for turning me on to this), I promise to share the quirks, challenges, and yes, emotional meltdowns of this Texas gal living abroad....

Love it! It's so much easier for people to keep up with you this way. You can also write less at time than you do on mass emails (since it's more frequently) so it's easier to read.
I'll email you with answers to some of your questions. Can't stay connected long. Keep it up!
