Coin Pooper

I told myself that I would blog at least once a week. Considering the fact that my only real obligation right now is to make dinner every night, I thought "Eh, that will be easy...I'll probably over blog." Well, my friends, I have been mentally and emotionally exhausted this week. I needed some time to process all the changes that have taken place in the last couple months. The first part of the week was rough, but it's getting better. I've absolutely adored all the emails I've received even though I have not responded to any of them. However, one of my goals for next week is to do just that. Get excited.   

Last weekend was awesome. First we bought a car - a silver VW Golf. We don't have it in our possession yet because we needed an address to be able to register it (more on that further down), but the whole process of test driving it, negotiations, and getting financed took less than two hours!

Saturday we went on an overnight adventure to Bamberg to visit our friends Andrew and Desma. They showed us around the city, treated us to Rauchbier (smoke beer), and took us to ice cream that looked like spaghetti. It was amazing!

Are you a believer now?   

Many of you might remember Josh and I talking about an apartment that we really liked when we came over to visit in May. The whole building was being renovated by the owner's son, but we thought the it would be finished and gone by the time we moved here. Well, it wasn't! He finished up some of the other apartments in the building and then took a holiday. WE GOT THE APARTMENT! It's in a fantastic neighborhood, two floors above a bakery, and the private entrance to the building is through a locked gate off the street and a small patio courtyard available to all residences for use. It only has one bedroom, but the living room has it's own door and can be closed off for the privacy of our guests. That being said, sleeping accommodations will be limited to my beautiful couch or a full sized air mattress on the floor. The landlord is going to put a brand new kitchen in and we'll be able to move in October 15th. Yay, I can't wait! Living in a hotel isn't the most awesome thing ever.

Tomorrow we're going to check out the Alstadtfest in Nuremberg. One Josh's coworkers put together "drinking group" and we're all going to meet up at this festival and then go on a pub crawl. I'm sure there will be more to say on that next week.

Oh yeah, you may be wondering about the title of the post. Here you go:

None of you should be surprised by this...
