This has been Crazy!

Been crazy!! The hotel we have doesn't have TV or Phone so we are watching movies on my laptop, which means I can't use it! We arrived in Hamburg Wed at 12:00pm got to our hotel long enough to shower and change then we went off to look at our apartments.

We had 2 that we liked and our first choice got taken hours before we put our papers in! SO frustrating, but our option 2 is a newer home but a lot smaller, but we put in our papers in for that one and got it. I tried to find the online pictures and its gone, so I will have to wait until we are in to post some pictures. Honestly even though its newer, it just doesn't feel like home. =( BUT at this point we will get what we can.

Yesterday we got a bank account and as for transferring money over, sheesh you would think we were all the way back in 1990's its insane how "wiring" funds over can take so long! We are hoping to have funds and move into our apartment next Friday. Which is hard cause Jed only has this week off and then he starts work on the 15th. So I guess I will be doing all the heavy lifting! 

Next thing is over here you look at school firsts and when you find a school that has availability you search for a home around that school. Out of the 12 schools only 1 had availability for both Bridger and Jocelyn. The house we found is 16 minutes away from that school ( which apparently is SUPER close) and the S-Bahn ( which is the subway station) is 21 minutes away from our new home. The closest store is approx. 25 minutes away, So I am finding that I am going to be doing a lot more walking than I anticipated. We took the kids to the Lego store today and they had a blast building individual guys, they were doing a promotion where every child got a baby sheep and mommy sheep for free. When Jed got to the front of the line, and the clerk saw he had 3 kids the guy said, you made bank! lol. See its nice to have a "BIG" family every once and awhile! 

Until later!
