Und es geht los – we are moving today and this weekend

I might not be online for a few days…we still need to order internet for our new address and until then I will probably use the internet at uni, which is unfortunately now not around the corner anymore; more like a 30 minutes drive. Well, I will see. Don’t miss me too much. Haha!
We have been to our new home today, not really moved stuff in, we rather inspected it, took photos for the property condition report and so on.
Papa, Nathan carried me over the threshold, as you suggested. Felt very good….so 
-like.
I already met the opposite neighbours. A very nice old couple. Bob and Claire. Could be my new Australien grand-parents. *g* Very cute and friendly…Bob talks very strong Australian accent, but his smile is just to-fell-in-love-for-gorgeous. They drove with their camper van through Europe (also Germany) on their honeymoon…and when Bob told me that he smiled all over his face, so that it just reminded me of Nathan and me traveling all over the place, camping and….yeah. Well, I’m sure we will get along very well with Bob and his wife Claire.
Our direct next door neighbour (I didn’t understand his name) is very Australian, too. His car number plate says he might be from Queensland. He is over his 50ies, Australia’s sun gave him a good dark colour and he is very relaxed, mate. Very cool drauf, would I say in German. No worries here either.
When I picked Nathan up from work today to drive with him to our new house, we saw two cars parking in our front yard (on it). When we were inside the house Nathan saw that someone was getting into on of the cars and he jumped out to let them know that this is now our front yard. I heard them talking very almost over-friendly to Nathan, it was a woman’s voice….when Nathan came back inside the house I only said “don’t tell me you just met the American woman living opposite left of us?” and he nodded, wondering how I could know that?! Bob. He told me earlier this morning. This is a neighbourhood where everyone knows each other. Cool, that’s how I like it. Having a chat with the nieghbours over the fence or over the road.
What a great feeling we already have about our new home, before we even moved in really.
Tomorrow will be our main moving day. We will have the ute (small truck) from a good friend of mine. We probably only need two loads, because we only have two bulky armchairs (the green ones), one wardrobe that we transport in one piece, a bed frame and a small but heavy table.
It is almost ten at night. I have a headache, haven’t eaten dinner yet, and still need to pack all my clothes in a box to put what we can in the car, so that we can leave tomorrow morning early.
Nathan wants to be at Ikea at 8am. To avoid crowds. We will see if he really will leave his bed so early, because he has only slept 3 hours last night, and he is still at uni at this moment. We also plan to cook dinner and watch a movie…okay guys…the night is young….cya soooon!!!!
