You are so brave. My country is made of immigrants. Many people in my country forget that, but except for Native Americans, everybody in the U. S. had ancestors who left their home countries and traveled to this continent. It's kind of amazing.
As read about your departure from Germany, I think of all those people. Brave. As you say, no one to make the way for you in the new country. It's a fresh slate. Without courage, there is no progress.
I really admire you and your husband for making this break. Most people lack that initiative. I will be watching your blog to get updates. I especially am interested in how your daughter acclimates. At her age, it will all seem ordinary in very little time, I think.
Good luck with the garden. I think it is begging for attention.
Thank you. Yeah... we couldn't know if things would go smoothly and if we would be able to live better or at least at the same standard as before for the long run..but we would never know if we never try.
Anyway I actually have already had this kind of mindset since young, that it's better to try out and fail than to never try and regret it someday in the future cos I'd wonder if my life could have been different if I had tried.
I left my family without hesitation 14 years ago all alone too pursue love even if my whole family against the decision LOL, and now I'm still married to him with a little daughter and jaki won my family's trust and love just in a year. We went to indonesia for a visit the next year after the wedding and my family welcome him well :-D.
However it took much longer for me to finally agree with my husband's long lost dream to migrate outside Germany..the only reason is because I now have a child to consider. It's no longer only me and my life to risk :).
Neverthless we finally did it...and it's also because I noticed that our daughter is not averse to the idea..she is just as excited as her parent.
She's a much more positive minded than her parent I suppose, so... I eased my worries a lot :).
Let's see how the adventure is going :).
Have a nice weekend @agmoore
