Delays.

Haven't been here in a while. My apologies.

Well, things really did not go according to plan. We really wanted the house sold by now.

So the waiting game continues and I'm getting tired of it.
Now we even have a plan B; renting the house, finding a smaller apartment and downsize. I'll use my student aid over here to at least finish my associates degree in Computer Science.

Would probably be the right thing to do, but I still have this urge to just leave everything behind and start fresh, instead of dragging on this misery. Debt is a bitch. Especially credit card debt.

I also have the opportunity to start an internship at BMW in Thailand before 2015. My uncle is manager of the new data plant they built and he said he needs some good programmers. So I need to hurry up and finish some classes in programming ASAP! Don't want that amazing opportunity to slip away.
In case you guys don't know, I absolutely love BMW, so that would be like a small dream coming true.

Anyway, our contract with the real estate lady is over in October. We'll see what happens then.


About indefinite days till lift off. :(

Tears.

Last weekend my friends did something incredible for me.

They planned a surprise party for me, and boy did that work. I had no clue whatsoever.

This guy played a big part in it;

My best buddy, Mario.

He invited me over to his house, just to chill, watch movies or something. Then we had to pick up Oliver, another good friend of mine, and his location on the GPS was in the middle of the woods. I still didn't get it.

Anyway, we picked him up and then Mario drove up to this Grill hut and ALL of my close friends were there lined up. I was shocked, didn't know what to say. Then it finally hit me that these people are throwing a party for me.

That was wonderful. Nobody had done something like this for me before.

I finally teared up when I saw the banner they made for me;

The awesome banner they made.

The last part on that banner isn't actually an insult, even though it sounds like it. We had a catchphrase like that for a while after we watched Hangover (In German) together. Leslie Chow is in the car, says: "Toodaloo mothafuckaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-" and rolls up his window.

Still has me laughing. Here's the video: 

Anyway, I'm taking that banner with me for sure.

And if anyone is reading this who was part of the planning I have to say a big 

THANK YOU 

again! 

I have the best friends in the world over here. This will be harder than I thought.

Oh, and on a closing note, someone who looked at the house last week was interested in buying. Here's hoping it goes through!

About 28 days till lift off. Even though we don't even have tickets yet, dammit.

Slow Progress.

Hey there.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still here. This blog will get more posts when actual stuff happens.
So bear with me until then and stay tuned for some great pictures of me boarding the airplane, in the airplane and getting out of the airplane.
Also a lot of pictures when I arrive in Texas.

Small update though, I'm sure we are not going to leave in June. We still need to sell the house and a bunch of crap we still have laying around. Next closest date I guess would be the first or second week of July, but who knows.




On another note, I'm still stumbling over stuff that remind me of her and I still can't believe how attached I was to her.
I never want to make that mistake again.

I really just want to go now.

I'm getting there.

About 35 more days to go.

Preparation.

Things are getting serious.

The planing phase is done and now we are moving on to the "Get rid of everything" phase.
We are going to sell our house over here so that we're going to have a financial pillow to fall on when we first arrive in the states.
Basically we are selling the whole household. And our cars.

I'm scared of losing it all, but it's also exciting thinking about a debt free life.
I've also finally overcome some personal issues I had and I'm content in leaving the country for good now.



.....At the moment everything is so unreal.

Empty walls.

My room looks so bare now. She has her couch, her closet, her bed and a lot of little stuff you get used to having around, like, for example; her clock which was hanging above the door. It's just such a weird feeling.

At least I have my bed now which I bought for a little cash so I won't totally destroy my back sleeping on the floor.



41 days remaining till lift off.

Introduction.

First off, welcome to my Blog.

Hello world.

I wanted to start this so I could look back at it in twenty or forty years and swim in nostalgia.

So, where to start?

As of this post I'm a 23 year old American-German half breed. Got both citizenship's, but want to pursue life in the USA. More on that later.

I was born in Germany as a military child. Dad was in the Air Force, met my German mother here and then I came along. We all lived in the states for three years, but came back to Germany when I was four years old.
Since then I went to German school until I turned 19. Went to American College, did three classes, decided to job around for a while.

Made some good money (sadly debt too) but now everything just broke apart.

• My girlfriend left me this month and most of the furniture was hers, so I'm giving her everything back. Less things to sell.
• Lost one of my jobs last week, so that's $600 less in my wallet.
• My Dad was getting sick of his job, since he is way over qualified for that job. Really.

Those are the main reasons we want to go back and start a new life.



And so here we are. Starting this blog to show whoever wants to know about me and my endeavours to reach the top.

Now you know who I am. Come join me in my new BIG chapter in life!
