Temporarily At Home

I find it very interesting how adaptable we are as a species. The family and I have been living in a two room family suite for 5 days now, and I am surprisingly comfortable. Maybe it's the outlook I've taken: This journey is an adventure to be treasured rather than dreaded or muddled through.

So far, I find Bavaria beautiful, pleasant, and hospitable. I think I am going to love living here.

Keats has also started school, and he's already making friends. We even have a playdate tomorrow!

I've already met a few key people in regards to finding work, and I've met with the high school principal. I'm hoping that a possible position there will come to fruition!

Ian has been working to get us a permanent place to live and transportation. Both aspects look promising for us to settle a contract for a place to live and to purchase one or two vehicles. Of course, we do have to get our driver's licenses first.

Kye, well, he's just taking it all in. Last night, he finally slept through the night, (Hallelujah!) and I got a full night sleep as well, so I'm definitely feeling like I'm shaking off the jet lag.

I haven't really had a chance to practice any German yet, and truth be told I'm a little hesitant to do so. I feel like I may butcher some sentence and end up unintentionally telling the person in German to do something rude. But, I have been watching the German news, reading the German newspaper, and trying to listen to every German conversation I overhear. I guess I must be hoping it'll all sink in soon.

Next on the agenda: study for my driver's license test! I'm ready to start seeing more than just the lodge where I'm staying!
