Changes

I find it amazing the power of faith. We have had spontaneous things happen to us since we have been here in Germany that there is no way it could be anything other than "God's plans".
For instance, When we were at the hotel for a month searching for houses. We honestly looked at over 20 houses in the area. They all had a problem, from being rented before we could respond back to deadly stares. Then one morning we found another AD they had just posted (literally 3 minutes posted). I called immediately and within 30 minutes the house was ours. The moment we walked into the house we felt the spirit, the wonderful feeling of peace. There we knew it was it!! Our home. The house is just amazing! Breathe taking!!!

Next thing, we had a rental car for the entire first month half in Germany because my car was not here yet and we haven’t found one to buy for "this guy". We seriously would go daily to the "lemon lot" (used car sales on base) looking for car. Test drove several. We also went to this online website with ads in the area and look at several and have yet to find a decent car that would work for us. One day while walking around at the lemon lot, I saw this lady driving this nice BMW and parking were the cars for sales were. I walked up to her and asked if she was selling it. Guess what? Just like that we found the car!

The Third recent God's plans, this guy got promoted when we least expected! Yes, least for one huge reason. We have just got here in Germany, no joke 3 days after we got here. They told this guy, oh yeah by the way you are testing for promotion in 10 days. WTH seriously? We just PCSed here, we are in a hotel, house hunting, trying to settle down with 3 kids one of them being a little baby and you are going to make my husband have a huge, very important test in just 10 days??? YEP YEP YEP, they sure did. This guy only had nights to study for this huge test. Many prayers were said every night and we knew if it’s meant to be it will be. HE MADE IT!!!!! WOOHOO! So proud of my husband!!!
It is amazing the things that can be accomplished when you have faith in the lord. Like a good online friend of mine who has been dealing with infertility for years now. They had Medicated cycles after cycles, had several IUIs and many testing. Drs told them that their only hope was IVF. They decided to stop all meds and trust the lord. If IVF was in God's plan they would somehow find the money to afford it if not the lord would bless them with a baby the old fashion way. All natural!!! And he did!
Anything is possible when you have faith and trust the lord! I think our sacrifice from Korea and the fact we never lost hope and faith for a brighter future has paid off. GERMANY ROCKS!!!!

Father's day

Today is daddy's day! This guy has the day to do whatever he wants. Guess what he decided to do?? Go for a bike hike...thats right, hike! We rode our bikes up this hill and it killed me. I havent had a real work out in years. Actually, 4 for be correct. Ever since I became pregnant with Kachow, my work outs have been light! My legs are shaky and weak now...it was so much fun though!!
Chubbs got This guy a hawaian shirt (I tried so hard to get her to choose a different shirt), Kachow got him a buttom up shirt that he really liked, Izzy got daddy Goodiva dark chocolate. I got him a secret present ( i will post pictures when arrives) unfortunately i ordered it online and it has not yet arrived.  so disappointed about that. But we got him one hour deep tissue massage gift certificate as a family. He needs it!

I cant wait till the main present arrives. He is going to LOVE it!!!

Today has been a good, relaxing day. Chubbs is in the playroom, Izzy sitting next to kachow and this guy watching them race Forza on Xbox. I am so blessed!!!

Luxembourg Trip

About a week or so ago we went to Luxembourg. Our first European trip and I loved it!! The country is very small but absolutely gordeous!!! We spent the night at Hilton which was a very nice hotel with the best breakfast Ive ever had in a hotel.

We took the kids to this amazing giant boat park. We all had a blast!

UDATE

As many of you know we are terrible with blogging. I have tried numerous times to stay on top of it but seems like there are other things that stays on the way and makes me forget about it.
How do moms with multiple kids can stay on top of everything is what I wonder!
Any who, the latest with us: We are in Germany and loving it! After a month in the hotel we finally found the perfect home for us. And I mean it!! Its perfect!! 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms , backyard and front yard on a quiet beautiful little town called Kottweiler. The only thing I loved at first and not anymore is the 3 bathroom. I hate cleaning bathrooms and now I have 3 large ones to cleam. Wawa!! This guy and I took the biggest room down in the basement, Dayza's room is the one next to us in the basement. Katchaw and Chubbs stays upstairs as well as my studio. In the main room we have the kitchen, huge living room and dining room and one extra room in which we turn into a playroom. Oh my goodness, playroom! Life saver, so is the backyard!!
Germany is beautiful and green. Rains off and on here which I enjoy very much. Everywhere you go its just beautiful. All the little towns around are gordeous. I didnt think it was possible to have such a beautiful country. Cant wait to see the rest of Europe.
This guy's work is pretty busy. He is enjoying it though (at least i hope). The only unfortunate part if that he goes TDY often, which is also at the same time a good thing because to some of those we are able to go with him (if money and time allows it). But one of the things I learned in Korea was not to make excuses about traveling with the kids. We kept ourselves from doing anything really in Korea because of 2-3 little ones. Really little ones! Well thats not the main reason it kept us from going anywhere in Korea but sure didnt help. Korea was hard in every way for us. Enough of Korea.
Photography is also picking up, my calendar is starting to get full and Im excited about that. I will share some pictures soon!
Stay tunned...or try to even if I dont come here often....WORD?!!
