Finally!

Matt will no longer be "roughing it" at the BOQ's, he moves into the new place tomorrow. I love how he has described it and of course I can't wait to see it myself. I think he is going to try to get some pics tomorrow before the movers come, we shall see. If so I will definitely share them!

Things are going well for both of us. He is getting used to the new job and finding his way around Heidelberg really well. I have been busy with work, coaching, and trying to get some workouts in.

Unfortunately over the last couple of weeks Matt and I have not been able to talk too much, which makes me miss him. Our schedules have just been so opposite and with the time difference it hasn't helped much.

Oh well. I guess we will be sharing life together soon enough and this long distance thing will no longer be an issue.

I hope to be back updating you guys soon with pics of the new place.

. . . still waiting

Well, this is another post from Matt. As some of you know I recently left Schweinfurt and started work in Heidelberg. The job is going well and I'm learning a lot. I think it's going to be a good fit, but may take some getting used to running into the "big wigs" every day. Right now I'm staying in the BOQ in Heidelberg (it's like a hotel without the TV and maid service), so I at least have a place to put my head every night.

I FINALLY found an apartment. After looking at about 15 places I started to come to the realization that my old place in Alitzheim was pretty hard to beat, and that it would be tough finding a place that was even close to the quality and location that I had before. Finally on Monday I looked at a place I'd been waiting to see for a couple of weeks and it turned out GREAT.

It's in the small municipality of Angelbachtal. I like it because its got the feel of an old German town with a park and even a schloss, plus it has all the amenities like a bakery just down the street, a grocery store, even a gas station. My apartment is pretty nice too. It even has a two car garage, which is pretty hard to find in Germany!

Sorry I couldn't have my own personal pictures of the town. That's really for two reasons. One is that it's been rainy here for the past week or so and the other is that my favorite subject isn't around to be in the pictures for me! I promise to take some though as soon as the sun comes out even though Heather is still far away.

Well, I signed the lease today, but unfortunately I won't be able to move in until later on this month! I'm a little disappointed because I wanted to start getting moved in, but it looks like I'll stay in my "moving" status for a few weeks longer. I'm really ready to LIVE somewhere!

Anyway, just wanted to give you all the update. I hope everyone's doing well. Drop us a line when you can!
