My last post was very long winded. I will keep this one short :)
Things are pretty much the same here.
Construction is still going on and taking longer than expected........that's no surprise!
Still no snow....we were teased yesterday for about a half hour until it just stopped. I could really use a snow day. It would be nice to just go out and play in the snow with the kids. Go sleighing, build a snowman, make some snow angels. Where is the snow?
The house is a complete wreck and I've decided to ignore it, but it's not working out as well as I planned. I will have to do something today!!!
I've made contact with Rob who is living in Stuttgart. You can check out his blog lifeinstuttgart.blogspot.com. He posts the most beautiful and inspiring pictures. Very talented.
Thanks Rob for answering some of my questions.....or should I say, addressing some of my concerns.
The more people I talk to and meet from Germany, the more confident I become.
I'm up to the challenge and I'm actually looking forward to the adventure. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I've always wanted to go to Europe. This is my chance.
After talking to Rob, I'm thinking of trying to get by without a car for awhile. If the buses and trains are as good as he says, I should be able to pull it off. He's gone 3 yrs without one.
That will be a first for me. I've had a car since I was 16. Here in the states you have to have a car if you want to go anywhere. They have buses here but they are far from reliable.
They say life in Germany is at a much slower pace than here. It will be nice to slow down a little. I'm looking forward to long walks, going to the town markets/stores, quiet Sundays (no shopping, stores are closed), sight seeing, learning German, and spagetti ice.
So who's my Knight in shinning armor? Why it's Ethan of course!!!! I'm really enjoying the time the two of us have together every morning before he goes to school. He's growing up so fast. I need to see if kindergarden is half days or whole days in Germany.....wouldn't it be great if they were just half days!!!!!

Hi! I've been clicking through blogs and am not even sure how I got to yours. I just moved to Germany in September - Heidelberg (about an hour from Stuttgart). It really is pretty great and though it can be tough at first, it's most certainly worth it. Good luck!
Thank you for visiting my website. If you want to read about someone going crazy in the process of trying to move a family of 5 to Germany in about 4 months keep cheeking my blog :)
Hi again. Children in Gemany go to kindergarten from ages 3-6 in Germany (elementary schools start at first grade - no kindergarten) and is really more like a pre-school in the U.S. The fees depend on your income and you can choose half-days for your child if you like.
