Guten Tag! Ok, so I have decided that I am going to try and document our adventures in Germany by writing this blog. It should be interesting as my current level of speaking German is probably the same as a four year old child. As long as no one counts higher than 12, sticks to the primary colors, and does nothing besides run/walk/sleep/eat/drink/play/read/write I will be good to go. I figured if worse comes to worse I am very good at Charades or like here in America you flash enough money around someone is bound to help you or all of a sudden speaks perfect English. I will let you know how this lingual adventure goes. ( I literally just wrote that last sentence so I could use the work lingual. So fun to say, sounds dirty but in no way is, and you hardly ever use it. I mean when was the last time you used the word lingual????)
Anyways.....we are currentlly residing at the Hampton Inn here in Knoxville as the movers finished packing up all of our stuff yesterday. That is when it finally hit me that OH CRAP we are really moving to Germany. For some reason up until this point it had seemed unreal, I mean how many people just hop up and move overseas unless you are in the military or have severely pissed off the wrong people and need to leave the country ASAP. ( And NO that is not why we are leaving the country. I may speak my mind but I am smart about it.)
Tomorrow we head to Charlotte, NC and Tuesday we have a direct flight from Charlotte to Munich. 9 1/2 hours on a plane with a 19mth old. Should be loads of fun. Lucky for us he is super cute, so if I get him to flirt enough with the flight attendant or some unexpected bystander maybe they will want to hold and entertain him for awhile. I had also been contemplating what drugs I could legally give him to make him pass out since it is an overnight flight (by overnight it merely means leave here at 5:00pm and miraculously get there at 8:15am when really to me it is actually 2am), but decided this was probably not the best way to go. I mean you never know how a 19mth old is going to respond to Prozac. Just Kidding.....please do not report me to CPS or if you do wait until after 5:30pm tomorrow. Thanks!
Well I may try and write one more post before we leave on Tuesday if anything exciting happens along the way, but if not my next post will be from Germany!
