This week has been pretty busy!! Julian's dad came back with us on Sunday night, as we were up near Karlsruhe for a wedding on Saturday (more on that later, once we upload pictures!). Like my previous post suggested, Monday was spent intsalling most of the remaining parts of the kitchen. It was a holiday in Germany (apparently the whole country decided to celebrate my dad's birthday!) so it was a long but productive day. Yesterday, Julian's dad worked on the backsplash while I worked from home, and Julian helped out once he got home from work. The backsplash turned out to be much more complicated than expected, requiring trips to the hardware store to have them custom saw something, and then to another specialty store for specific screws. It's more of the same today, and they're hoping to finish it by 6:30 at the latest because Julian and I are going to the beach to barbeque with some friends tonight, and his dad has to catch a train back to Karlsruhe!
In even more exciting news (difficult, because not much is more exciting than a finished kitchen), our first guests arrive in less than 48 hours!!! Carrie and Adam are coming to visit Friday - Monday, and I could not be more excited to see them! We are working hard to prepare the place so that it's all put together and organized for their arrival :-)
The fun will keep going because on Tuesday morning, my parents get in!! I am so excited to have them here! I will actually go to Munich on Monday morning (Carrie and Adam have to take a 6am ferry so I will leave at the same time) for an Accenture Community Meeting, stay overnight in Munich, and then get up early to drive to Stuttgart to pick up mom and dad and then back to Friedrichshafen! Lots of time on the Autobahn! Julian and I have lots of fun things planned for both sets of visitors so I am very excited!
Still plenty of boxes to go through and stuff to clean up before Friday morning, so we will be busy until then!
I'll try to upload some pictures from the (unbelievable) wedding we went to this past weekend soon!
