Good News and Bad News

We chose the Lindenthal home listed on the last blog post!
We move in February 6th.  That means only about two weeks of hotel living.  The place is fully furnished, but we will be able to add some of our furniture to the home (a sleeper sofa and a crib).  This will save us SO MUCH money as we won't really have to buy any furniture or anything for the kitchen (no dishes, silverware) - everything comes with the home.  And it is very reasonably priced and in a very sought after area.  We are about a half a mile from great shopping areas and there is a huge park with a lake and lots of jogging trails across the street.  Only a short metro ride puts us in the heart of Cologne.  I can't wait to move in.

Tonight there was a happy hour at the hotel where we are staying with all of the FedEx pilots and their families.  We were able to meet a bunch of the great people who are living here.  Kellan started getting really sleepy around 8pm, so he and I went upstairs and went to bed while Matt socialized.  I snuggled under my cozy down comforter with a glass of wine and prepared to watch the two most recent episodes of "Parenthood."  I clicked on the link, the video started to load and....the following message appeared, "This video is not available in your country."  I was not deterred.  I went to Hulu and started to try to watch videos there.  Click, click...same message.  WHY??!?!?!!?  Looks like we will be investing in a Slingbox.

Guess I will be drinking my wine while learning German from Rosetta Stone instead...
