Where's Crystal?
Just a little update.Yesterday the movers came and packed up all our stuff. They did, from what we could see, ahelluvajob. There were in-and-out from start-to-finish in just over 4 hours and Riccardo and I didn't have to lift a finger: no packing, no loading; in fact, we left and spent the morning shopping.
So now everything we can't carry on our back is en-route to the UK. Due to arrive next Wednesday morning. We've officially vacated our apartment. We are both supremely relieved to have sold our washing machine, kitchen and closet unit to the new tenants for a decent price. There was really no way we could have taken these things with us to the UK, so actually we're happy to have gotten anything at all for them. The new company will be buying us new ones anyway.
For these two days, we are staying a Riccardo's parents' place. We love it here, and actually it's a great ending to our Germany-saga; the same place we started out. A great opportunity to spend time with them before we relocate abroad (again).
We'll be weekending in a castle - lucky us - as I mentioned before, for our friends' Thomas and Jeannette's fabulous wedding extravaganza. I'm sure that will be a great time and I can't wait to post pictures of the festivities.
Monday afternoon we'll be back in Gustavsburg to tie-up loose ends, and hopefully sell the car (though that's wishful thinking as there are no offers as of yet. Thankfully we have a month of sponsored car-rental through the company which will leave us with a little more time to sell it) before we cross the channel and begin the next adventure.
I'll be sure to forward the new phone numbers as soon as they are hooked up, but in the meantime, in an emergency I can still be reached on my German cell number.
Love yas!
If you ever want to relocate, I suggest you ask Crystal to make the arrangements - she is awesome at these things!!!
Thanks honey for the fabulous organisation, your patience with a "going mad" boyfriend and the perfect way it turned out!
