This page is specifically
for family and friends who are interested in me and my new live
in the USA. See also the page with maps.
October 26th, 2003, I moved to the US. Below you will find a list of things I did, encounters I had, pictures, people, etc.
It will not be super detailed, but it will give you an idea ...
By the way: More pictures I made can be found at DevianArt.

First
Family Visit!
My mom and my aunt had this really nice plan to suprise
me for my birthday (october 22nd). My mom, my sister Patricia, and my
brother-in-law Dave gave me a suprise visit. This was definitly a suprise,
and a very nice one too. It seems they enjoyed themselves here.
Before they visited me though, Fall kicked in. Man
those colors here are awesome. Not to forget; Joe (co-worker) grows mega
pumpkins;
