My partner's Family - First Impression

My decision of going to Germany is for one major reason! My love of my life (at least I hope it is)! Jan is my first boyfriend and I hope to have an experience of a life time. By coming to Germany, I get a chance to meet his family. I don't know anything about the German culture or what they like or don't like. I was in for a surprise. These are Jan's parents (picture on the left). They are very friendly people and had open arms and heart for my arrival. They are excited about learning about me and my culture. But most of all, they are excited for Jan, that he has found someone that he can live in laughter with. My smile grows very day with what their family does for me and what Jan provides for me. My view on Germans is that they are kind, simple and open to the community. They live a simple life and will live life with the people around them and lots of dinners as a family. Very family oriented people. :) I fit right in.

This is the rest of Jan's family. (picture on the right)
He has an uncle, in the back row, and these are his grandparents in the front. I didn't realize that German's have small families, but family is all that they need. They support each other and are very close. Although I wasn't able to communicate with them, they were still able to show friendliness and kindness to me. We weren't able to spend a lot of time with them, but  I know i'll see them again soon.
