Moving Day!!!

Well, the long-awaited day finally arrived. 9 movers showed up Thursday morning and had our apartment packed up by about 11:30. This was great because instead of keeping the boxes at their warehouse overnight they were able to deliver them to Bundesratufer the same day.

Our new view is great--right in front of us on the river is the turn-around point for the sight-seeing boats (David is excited as this gives him extra time to get the water balloons launched).

We still have boxes everywhere because we are definitely down-sizing as far as cupboard space goes and trying to figure out where to put everything. We did check out our new grocery store though and it's pretty nice.

The Diplo-cat is not happy--a trip to the vet on Wednesday and then all these crazy movers invading the apartment on Thursday. After about 24 hours of pouting under the bed he is starting to explore the new place a little bit.



Am Hegewinkel is clearing out--3 other couples moved on the same day as us. The last few people move next week!
No, that whole box is not full of Christy's shoes, contrary to what David may claim....
The first thing set up in the new apartment--the TV. We were feeling pretty lucky to have both the TV and internet working on the first try.

Last night we found a yummy and inexpensive Greek restaurant a few blocks from the apartment, and today we had lunch at a small deli right behind our apartment--the owner was so excited that people are finally moving in to our building. She is German but lived in New Jersey for a few years so it was nice to be able to chat in English. We are just excited to be able to actually walk to a restaurant. Well, now that we've been to the grocery store I am off to attempt to cook our first dinner in our new home (we'll have to eat it at the couch because the dining room table is still covered with junk, but it's something).

We will post pictures of the apartment once we get everything put away and cleaned up.
