More than Nutella & PB...

Although it would appear that we have spent the last 2 weeks doing nothing but eating Nutella & Peanut butter, we have been up to a few other things.

We are continuing to search for a place to call home. This has been a pretty frustrating aspect of our every day life. Our realtor here is making us promises he shouldn’t and continues to show us places that we are not interested in. So the house hunt is consuming a lot of our time and thoughts. Hopefully we will find something soon! We never imagined it would be this hard. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe this is the week:)

Work is going pretty well for Jeff. He is getting adjusted but the language barrier continues to be a challenge. We are waiting for Mubea to approve our language lessons, so hopefully we can start our classes soon.

Cooper and I are walking a lot and becoming very familiar with Attendorn. It is a very nice area to walk with a lot of neat sights and fun trails. I am reading a lot and am finding it amazing how many books I can read when my time is pretty much uninterrupted. I have found a few book stores with English sections and Aimee has been sending me lots of good stuff!

We have made some really great friends who we have been spending a lot of time with. This Friday they took us to the Attendorn disco. We walk by the disco all the time and never realized that at night, it turns into a techno hot spot for people of all ages. It is a bit weird going to the bar and seeing kids that are like 15 and 16. It makes us feel a little old. Then after the disco we went to the American equivalent of a Coney Island. It was a Turkish restaurant that served some sort of pita sandwich with pork and all sorts of other stuff. It tasted really good at 3:30 a.m. Our new friends have really taken us under their wing and we are having a great time with them. They are very kind and fun and we feel very luck to have met them!

It was really cold and rainy here this weekend. On Friday night is was under 40 F. We could see our breath when we were walking home. Now we understand why they don’t have air conditioning in Germany. Next week the forecast says it will be in the low 70’s and the Germans think that is really HOT!
