Today we got a chance to visit our new ward. I was totally anxious, as I know most of my closest friendships will probably be created amongst these people. It's amazing that no matter where I go in this world, I literally have brothers and sisters (a whole freaking ward family of them) waiting to make sure that I am happy, healthy and loved. These wonderful Saints did not disappoint. Not only did we get a ton of offers to help us out, but we also got a dinner invite for this evening and a play date set up for this week.
The ward is half foreign nationals and half native German. Sacrament meeting and Relief Society are in German (it's translated for me through headphones) and gospel doctrine is in English. There are quite a few nursery/primary children and a handful of young women (babysitters!). We stayed with Abby for a few minutes to get her settled in nursery, then she showed her independent spirit and kicked us out. Some things never change.
This is snapshot of my big tummy (28 weeks):

These are some of the awesome houses around the church. The church is located about 15 minutes from the neighborhood we're going to live in.
