Celebrating on year in Germany!

Hello everyone,

I don't do too many Facebook statuses, yet, here is the one I've made for this very special day:

"Today September 15th marks a year! And I hope the celebratory fortune cookie message I got comes to fruition in the next: “Sie werden häuslichen Frieden, finanzielle Sicherheit und gute Gesundheit genießen.” My first year in Germany has been nothing like what I anticipated. I experienced a great deal of loss, disillusionment and uncertainty in addition to those bright spots of friendship, love and now optimism for the future. ..But I couldn’t have managed get this far without you Manuela and Thorsten .
— in Germany."

And THANK YOU too Spark friends, if you've read previous blogs you know exactly what I am talking about.

Bless you,

Samantha
