Out of Touch

Even though we are now in our house, it is so hard to be without all of our belongings, without a car, without a phone, and without the Internet.  We hope to have Internet at the house by next week, and our belongings will come by the end of next month.  I am trying to be patient.
So how are we surviving?  We have loaner furniture and have checked out some necessary items, such as small appliances and kitchen gadgets.  Other than that, there is a lady, Kaylynn, who is in the band, who has tried her best to keep us as comfortable as possible.  She lives at the bottom of our stairwell, and has brought over several armfuls of things for us to borrow, such as a bathmat, a super-comfortable pillow, and even a few bath toys.  Just some little things that make a big difference.
By now we are adjusted pretty well to the time, although it is a little hard to get used to it being light outside until 10 pm.  Our next obstacle we are tacking is potty-training. I thought it would be a good time since we have no furniture, so we bought panties yesterday and she is pretty excited.  Hope it goes as well as I think it will in my mind!
A friend that Ben knew previously, Will, took us out one evening to downtown Heidelberg to eat and sight-see a little.  We ate at a place called Vetters, where I ate snitzel and Ben had a German sausage.  As expected, it was delicious.  The restraunt was located by the river and the castle, so we got to see that, although we did not take our camera, but we hope to return soon.
For now, we are still gathering essential items and trying to get settled in a bit.  Hope to have the Internet soon.
Take care and God bless!
