It has been snowing since yesterday morning. It is really beautiful down our street. I took the train to work and brought the camera along. The weather is predicting 4-6" by Friday. That would be great! We love snow!!!

The Big Move
Sunday was our first night at the apartment. We spent the afternoon cleaning, went grocery shopping and did some much needed laundry. Dinner was none the less Pizza! We slept on the camping air mattress.
We expected the movers between 11 & 1, so at 10:45 we were wondering if they were going to be on time. Brian looked at his watch and we realized that it was an hour too early. I set the alarm clock an hour earlier than I should have! So, we took a nap.
The movers showed up at 11 sharp. Brian stood outside in the cold for 3 hours while I watched the door to the apartment. The move went well, EXCEPT when the mattress was coming in they drug it across the floor!!! I saw it happen and looked at the floor right away. So, I told the crew that they scratched the floor and showed them. They looked at me like I was crazy! They kept telling me no, no, no. I said "new floor", no scratches. Then they said yah, shook their heads, and looked at the swiviling trail from the front door to the bedroom as I showed them. They knew they made a big boo boo once they got down and felt it. After all furniture and boxes were in the apartment, the "lead" of the move came to take a look at the floor. He told us that a mattress would not have done this. Well it did!!! I watched it happen. When he finally realized that the floor was new, the floor in the rest of the apartment had no scratches, dents etc., we started the damage claim paperwork. He turned to the crew, exchanged a couple of words in a not so nice tone and the crew left. We told our landlord and he was to say the least, not very happy. I wonder why?? Well on the bright side, nothing (that we have unpacked so far) was broken.

Below are pics of our place without furniture.
The LAST night in the hotel, after 2 months
Our last night in the hotel was Saturday! We packed up all of our stuff on Sunday morning and headed to the apartment. All of our junk filled the Jetta to the brim. Thank goodness we didn't have much more or we would have to make 2 trips to the apartment. We decided to take a picture of the room before we left. It looks a lot bigger in the picture than it actually was. The picture was taken from standing outside the bathroom door. Yep, you guessed it very small.
The Hair Cut
I have had many questions about the hair cut. There wasn't actually a drastic change. Long and short of it, I got my hair trimmed about 3 inches. I was scared that it would be short to my shoulders or something.

Trip to the German Hairdresser
Today I went on my first adventure to a German hair stylist. A lady I work with gets her hair done at Hair & More and she called to make an appointment for me. I will admit I was telling her that I might just want to get a cut and wait on the color. I was thinking of every possible scenario of hair gone bad! So I decided to go through with it.
My appointment was at 5:45. I arrived at the mall around 5. There was NO parking anywhere! After I found a spot, off I went. I arrived at the salon and was greeted with a smile. I was seated and offered some drinks. Nicole, the hair dresser, came to speak with me about my hair. She told me that her English isn't the best. She spoke excellent English! I did the best I could to speak in German. So, she colored and cut my hair. Right after she rinsed the hair out I told her the color looked great, and it did. I figured if this was the part to get right it was the cut. All went well. I will be going back to see her.
