Kind of moved in!

Hey everyone,

it's been a while since I posted anything - life has been busy - sorry.

We kinda got everything set into place and feel home now. Here are a couple of pictures of our new home. We have wonderful neighbours and already found friends. Its a really "slow" place and kinda like Malta - you know lots of people and it's not that anonymus.

We haven't hung up any picutes or painted any walls... snice we haven't found out what we want jet.

This is our kitchen:

our sun deck:

Sunset view:

upstairs bathroom:


The empty office.... we are a little further by now - but I don't have a current picture yet.... sorry


I noticed that I don't even have any good pics yet - I will get some done tomorrow and then post some up-to-date ones...

Finally moved!

It's been forever since my last post....!

We have had some tough months - lots of work, trouble and long nights... until we finally moved in into our house.

We moved last friday - the 11th. And we already feel home. It's great.


Our friends were great helper - we were 12 guys to carry all that stuff downstairs and up in the house. The last night - we slept in between all those boxes and stuff.... a horrible night.



Since we were a little scared about damaging our couch - we wrapped it into foil - and carried it downstairs by ourselves - it took about 3 hours to wrap it, carry it downstairs and bring it into the new house - but it was worth it - it didn't get a single defect.
This is what one piece of the couch looked like.


We do have to much stuff.... we almost filled this truck twice....

These are a couple of our great helpers - thanks a lot to everyone....
In the back you can see the range where the horses stay.




I will post some photos of the house soon.... gotta get the boxes unpacked first :-)

WE found a HOUSE!

Yeah,

we finally found a house. We have been thinking about moving for a long time, but now we dicidesd. It took us a long time to find out, whether we wanted to move to Hamburg downtown, or stay close to our parents. (althoug its only 10 miles away - it takes almost 60 minutes to get downtown, since there is so much traffic).

Now we found this cute rowhouse. How do you like it? The address is grüner Weg 63b - greenway! :-)


I guess it is weird for you guys, to see houses that close to each other. Since you have so much space in Idaho and Utah... but maybe your cities are more cramped than I remember.

The house has 5 rooms and a really nice roof terrace, which is about 330 sq ft.

It also has 3 bedrooms, a big living room and a nice studio (office) in the top, whcih is also almost 500 sq ft.

Over all the house has an are of about 1.400 sq ft.

Another cute thing about the house: On the back side, there is a horse pasture. So in the summer there will always be horses in our yard... isn't that cute? Although I think moose would be better.... :-)

This is the view from out bottom terrace - too bad the yard is so small - but a small yard is not as much work - so that makes it good.



Since the house is not finished yet, and the workers are still working, I can't show you any pics of the inside. But I will as soon, as we see any new stuff.

Last week we decided on the fooring and the bathrooms. We chose a beige for the floor and a white bathroom with a nature-stone border and light brown floor.

I bet you guys will like the kitchen. I will post some pictures as soon as I get them.

I will keep you updated..... love ya tons

Where do I live?

Well, I think I have to start with something in this blog, so that there is something to read about. I decided that I will show you first, where me and Christoph live at.
We live in a 3-room-apartment in the 2nd floor. It is pretty big and light. It's not too far away from the railway station, so that we can ride our bicycle every day. Good friends live in the same house and we love to chat across the inner courtyard. Lots of familys with kids live here.

This is the view, standing on the balcony

We don't live very far from our parents (just about 2 miles) and often visit them.

I made you a screenshot out of google earth, so that you can see, what our house looks like.

This is where the house is at.

Please excuse my bad english, but I really unlearned a lot of it.
