Its been a while since I’ve written on my blog here. As a part of me getting back at it. I’m going to start and write more. You might wonder why? The answer is simple, I like to write, however finding the time to do it is the issue. That changes now. From this point forward you’ll be able to find interesting things that are going on with me, while I’ve began a new journey. That journey being my life here in Germany.

I admit this really isn’t anything special, but check back and you’ll see so much more.
