Short Rambles

Another week in Germany!
Today is the official day of our move. A large amount of furniture was delivered to the apartment yesterday while I was at work. By the time I came home, half of it was magically assembled! Elizabeth is terrific. We still have some work to do today, but it's already starting to feel like a home. It's remarkable how good it feels to sit on our own furniture. We'll post some pictures soon.
UNFORTUNATELY, internet connection is a problem. Elizabeth has spent weeks talking to Unity Media trying to get it set up. As it turns out, the internet cable isn't long enough to reach our floor of the apartment. The landlord is working with them to extend it for us, but we have no estimated completion date. Best case scenario, we'll only be internet-less for a few days...
You might not hear from us for a week while we wait for Unity Media.
Living in the center of Schwäbisch Gmünd will be a huge improvement for us. We love the idea of being able to walk everywhere. But the little town of Bargau has been good to us, too. Obviously we will sorely miss having internet and a kitchen, but I'm also going to miss the Bargauer Horn. I've been running up that hill 2 or 3 times per week! From now on if I want to run it again, I'll need to bike 10 kilometers first to get there!
Now it's time to build the furniture! And time to figure out how to dispose of all of the packaging!! Chances are, we won't. We'll just dedicate a room to keeping the garbage in. Come visit us and we'll let you sleep in our garbage room! Yay!
