Making our "haus" a "hof"

So we are taking advantage of Jordon's short weekend and trying to get a lot of things done! Today we went to the next biggest town (Kaiserslautern) and Jordon got his international driver's license which means he can drive out of Germany and all over Europe legally! I had my first doner kebab today which is basically a pita filled with lamb shavings and your choice of vegetables. I just told myself it was chicken.
We then had to rent a 9-seater van and picked up 2 couches for the living room which is a huge upgrade from the extremely uncomfortable Air Force couch we had. Jordon was pretty excited about the van because it was a Mercedes and apparently had more get-up and drove easier than the BMW. Next car???? I think so. It was quite the struggle to get the couches into the house (especially on my end) because German doorways are quite skinny. But all in all it was a success. We explored our town a little tonight and had dinner at an authentic restaurant and will definitely be back.
Pictures will be up soon of our much improved living room! Have a great day everyone!

  1. Ha! Mal, I can only imagine you trying to move in those big couches.... Jordon, I'm sorry. ;-)

    But I agree! Driving a 9-passenger van around Europe would be perfect for you guys.
