Happy in Germany

I feel as if I can breath here. It's weird. I love this country. It holds wonderful childhood, teenage, and somewhat grown up memories. I don't consider myself a real adult yet, so that's why I used the phrase, somewhat grown up. I love coming back to Ramstein and seeing the changes. Until this trip, I have avoided going home to Zwei. I have even said that this area is my home now because I can't believe that Zwei no longer exists. But, it's time to face my childhood home. It's time to go back and see what I have in my memories. I'm scared to see Kreuzberg Kaserne though...it's going to be different from what I know and that's why I haven't gone back.

I think it's important to show someone that you love where you came from. It explains who you are as a person. I have come back to the base where I fell in love with Jeremy and now I will take him to the place where I fell in love with Germany. This is so exciting and scary and fun all at the same time. I love this country so much. I love being here!
