Charlie has finally arrived! However, I should probably not only talk about him the entire post so we will get back to him later. My German language course has been going well. I am learning new things every day and I actually was able to have a (broken) 5 minute conversation with some neighbors yesterday! Yey me! German is an awfully hard language to learn and it floors me that some people who are in the course with me have been living in Germany for over 3 years and they still speak less German than I do. I can’t imagine…
German Language Course
Hello All! It’s been another busy week here! On Monday, I traveled by train to Augsburg to start my first German language course. I had went the previous week to take a test to determine my level and was put into a class that started back at the beginning of February since I tested at A2. When I first arrived at the school I had been told to go to room 401. Since I had to take the train, I was about 30 minutes early so I sat down in the room to wait. A few people began to come…
Augsburg
I am exhausted. I am not sure if that’s because we spent Friday and Saturday putting together furniture or the fact that I am getting sick.

I took a placement test to see if I could get into a higher class and luckily I tested at the A2 level. Since I tested at this level I will be able to join a class that started back in February. But I…
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! It is crazy that it’s already April and Easter is upon us. It doesn’t really feel like Easter here since it is (still) snowing… I am ready for Spring weather! This week I have gotten an outpouring of support from readers of my blog- and it made me feel awesome! Here I thought I was writing about my adventures only for my family. Clearly that’s not the case- if you are reading this then Thank You! Thank you for caring enough about me to take time out of your busy day to catch up on my life. I…
Apartment Hunting
I am a few days late with this post but it has been pretty busy here! Last weekend, we were sure we were going to move to Stuttgart. Then on Monday Manuel received another job offer in Augsburg. After thinking about it for a week, he has decided to take the job in Augsburg and will sign the contract on Thursday. He will mainly be working on designing and building engines- from a small engine up to huge ship engines. I think he is pretty excited about it! Since he will start the 1st of May, we have been frantically…
