We finally landed in Frankfurt am Main on Tuesday, February 17th at 9am. A day and time that has been on my mind 24/7 for the last 3 months!!!
It sure was hard to say good- bye to my friends and family, but to be honest, I have the BEST friends in the world and so I know we will be in touch often and see each other as much as possible!
It was quite rainy and cold when we landed…. Very Portland indeed… So of course we felt at home instantly;)
The boys and I were x-tatic to see Mike and after a little GPS trouble we made it to the new house! Our airfreight got there the day before, so the kids had their toys and other familiar items waiting for them!
Notice how I’m not even mentioning the flight? EXACTLY! Don’t want to talk about it;)
Yesterday was great, breakfast and a nice long walk thru the woods behind our house… There’s a huge adventure playground right next door! Pool and all!
The grocery stores are quite exciting…. Sooo many yummy Italian, French, Indian, Turkish things, I will gain 10lbs for sure;)
We also spent 3 hours at a electronics warehouse (media mart) getting TVS, an espresso machine, a micro, a hair dryer, a radio, a DVD player and of course most importantly of all for the 3 boys…. A wii! I was hoping for the wii fit (since we don’t have a gym yet…) but that – of course- was sold out!Now I have to bring my mom to the airport…. She has been helping us fir the last month…. I’m so grateful for that and I will miss her!!! My dad is coming tomorrow …. To help with all the IKea items we will have to purchase!
I am so happy to have this incredible opportunity to be here in good old Deutschland with my family, I really feel home here already – I have been here a whoopin’ 36 hours;) loves and loves and loves to all of you back Home in PDX and elsewhere…. I will write again tomorrow when our Internet at the house is finally installed!! Tschuess!
