So.....this is a little map of the area where i live. To be specific, i live in Neumünster. Right between Hamburg and Kiel. It is not a very exciting town but it is growing on me a bit. The area around the city is beautiful. Lots of forest and green.
I have lived here now for almost 10 weeks. Although it feels a lot longer but that is probably because the days feel so long with all the snow and lack of sunshine.
The first weeks we had to organize quite some things. The most important one was to get us actually registrered as married....i know...what?!! We just showed up at cityhall with our international papers thinking it would be a piece of cake. But no cake there. Apparently they have gotten a lot of false documents here in the past. What (after talking to a lot of people that couldnt really tell us something) we needed was an: Apostille. Given out by the courthouse of Den Haag. This is basically a big official stamp on your papers proving that your documents are real. Changing my last name is a story still in progress. We went to offices so often....also here in Germany they just close at 12 in the afternoon most of the time.......
Anyway, David was lucky to be off more from work in that time so we could go together from office to office.The apostille is like a magical paper....now we get everything done really quick. So remeber that word: Apostille.
It has been snowing here since the end of November and just like the rest of the world we are ready for Spring.
I am happy to be here though. David leaves the house every morning at 4 or 5 and bikes through the snow to get to work.....and afterwards has to go to school a lot as well. So.....i am sort of entertaining myself a lot....i am getting better at it:) Not working is weird but hopefully that will change soon.
And now i will realy have to make my way through the wind and snow.....i really have to....1.2.3.go.
xoxo
