There is a “game” which has been going around Houseblogs.net and I was beginning to think we might be overlooked…but alas, the time has come to reveal 5 things about us that you probably don’t know already. House in Progress tagged us a few days ago and I’ve sort of put this off because it’s honestly not all that simple. I’m going to try to do them for us together which may prove to be more complicated but it makes more sense than doing them alone… I have read some wildly interesting facts about other housebloggers and I’m not sure I can compete but I’ll try to keep it interesting at least…and since I try to focus on just the house in this blog, I should be able to find SOMETHING to talk about…
- We got engaged after knowing each other for about 3 months. Crazy for some but we did actually wait a while to get married…not because we were having doubts but because we were moving from Miami to Germany and the time for planning wasn’t really there. We’ve been together almost 7 years now and married just over 5…how the time flies!
- The farmhouse is the 5th place we’ve lived together…and the 3rd here in Germany. I personally have moved somewhere around 25 times in my life. Hubby has a much more “normal” number…but I guess neither of us will be adding new digits in the near future now.
- We both feel like expats here in Germany. Since I’m American, it was definitely a culture shock moving here. But hubby spent his younger years in Germany, than a few in Japan and finally lived about 12 years in the US before we moved back over here. He speaks fluent German still but since his really formative years were spent in the US, he feels like a foreigner.
- We come up with a new idea for a business every few months. That could be the Gemini side of hubby showing but we actually have had some really great ideas…now if only we can reign them all in and start making some money from them.
- We would be lost without the Internet. Most of our projects around the house have been heavily researched on the Internet. We keep in contact with the majority of our friends and family over the Internet. And if we have no Internet access for long periods of time, we feel like we’re losing touch with the world (especially hubby lol)….but this is getting better now that we have the farm.
So now it’s someone else’s turn. I get to tag 5 other housebloggers…which should be interesting to find that many…and hopefully I don’t get someone twice.
