Three weeks after my husband and I married, the military assigned us to Germany. We moved to one of the loveliest villages, Kusel. We began our new lives together in a new country exploring new places. We learned to appreciate an unplanned journey.
Fast forward two moves, 3 babies, several deployments, and retirement from the military, we had an opportunity to move to Asheville. The minute our plane landed, we felt transported back to Kusel, Germany. Asheville had the same small mountains and rolling hills, vibrant music scene, delicious beer, and castle (the Biltmore), just as “our” village in Germany had. We have enjoyed making this place our chosen forever home over the last few years.
