Where is New Jersey?!

Back to our life (last year) in Connecticut…

As I already mentioned we adapted very fast and well in Connecticut. We enjoyed being so close to the ocean, just one block away. I took my cup of coffee to the beach every day and spent hours reading, walking or just watching the ocean. Jakob could not get enough of swimming and spent every single day of his summer vacation there. Our friends lived nearby, so we had always many visitors. Some of them even came from Germany.

Life could not get better for us, so it really hit us hard when we heard that my husbands company was moving to New Jersey. Where is New Jersey??

On the first free weekend we went for an exploring trip to this foreign state. It was very devastating. Obviously, we did not see the right area, so far… Hopefully. But the worst part was to tell Jakob that we would have to move again, after not even two years in Connecticut. He loved his school and his class mates so much and I knew he would take it hard. But there was no other option, except go back to Germany, which we could also do but did not want. We did not want to leave the USA. Two years were definitely not enough for us. New Jersey, we are coming!
