The New Digs

Our second look at the apartment was even better than the first - it was a beautiful sunny day - so we could really imagine all the possibilities the giant terrace has to offer us. We have the contract in hand and can move in anytime after April 1st. Anyone want to help?!?

The Apartment

All Fun and Games

Ok it's not really all fun and games here - but that just happens to be what gets photographed. In addition to some long work hours over the past couple of weeks, we're gearing up for Silke's wedding and have plenty of related projects to work on, and we've started the search for a larger apartment. We've fallen in love with a "penthouse" apartment (which just means that its the top floor!) with a spacious terrace and a great view of the city. We'll take a second look at it tomorrow and if we're still smitten we'll sign the lease and start packing.

In January we got away for a weekend retreat with my GEM colleagues from around Germany - where we experienced a nice time of encouragement and refreshment. We kicked off this year's Karnival celebrations with the annual "day-on-the-town" with Ralf's office. No worries, the long hair tickling his face and the challenge of blowing your nose with a "piercing" were sufficiently annoying to Ralf to ensure that this look won't be permanent!
