The good:

Husband “bumped” into the person who we have been anxiously waiting to hear from, regarding whether or not we are actually moving to Germany, and sure enough he confirmed it, congratulated Husband on his promotion, and told him that they were working on the budget which should be sorted out within the next two weeks as they still plan on having  us over there by April 1st. Yippee!

I know that for months we have been told that it was a sure thing but I still had my doubts. Anything could go wrong and it seemed almost too good to be true. But now I can say with certainty that we will be taking Germany to the next level very very soon.

Now, what I am most excited about, other than the fact that we will be living in Europe (hello!!) and having all kind of neat adventures, is moving out of the crap-hole apartment we live in currently. I never wanted to live here. In fact, I remember the very first time we came to have a look at it I ran out of the building in tears. We only moved in because his brother was moving out and it was under rent control, so it was dirt cheap. It is just plain ugly. No amount of feng shui could make this apartment pleasant and I certainly never felt inspired to do anything with it. So, to say that I am excited to live in a house where the windows actually CLOSE, in a building which has been properly maintained, and that doesn’t smell like a dirty russian pickle, is actually… an understatement.

The Bad:

Facebook.

Hangover.

Tooth Sensitivity.
