Next Stop: Celle Germany

As most of you know Nathan is in a rotational program for work (Baker Hughes). Well we got our assignment for the next 6 month rotation; We will be in Celle Germany. Our start date is not yet determined, still waiting on the actual date we depart Houston, but it will most likely be either the middle of December or the first week in January.

We are so excited to go to Europe and experience the many different cultures there. I have to admit I am a little nervous about traveling with the kids but I know that if I stay relaxed and flexible then it will work out just fine. Anyone with some good travel tips please feel free to share your experience and advice! Tips for international travel with children are especially welcome.

Celle seems like a really neat town. It's in north central Germany. It's about 25 miles northeast of Hanover. The town has a lot of half-timbered buildings and looks really traditional. I am so glad that we have the opportunity to travel with our children and help them gain an appreciation for other cultures and people. I think that it will be a great blessing to all of us to open our minds to new traditions and make friends all over the world.

Below are some pictures that another rotational employee took to help us get an idea of what life in
Celle is like.
