Better Late than Never

Well, it's been 2 1/2 months, so I suppose I should post again even if no one is reading...Maybe some day I will get better at this... So here are our updates...

We moved to Rosenheim (SouthEast of Munich in southern Germany and about 8 hours from where we were living.) in the middle of July. (I will post pics soon hopefully or you can just look on Facebook.)

We are all settled in now, and Karl has started his apprenticeship to become a chef. He is loving it, which is great because he is working his butt of 5 days a week and about 14 hours a day. Craziness! In the meantime I had a really good interview and should get quite a few teaching hours around the end of the month. I am working on my website for private and business lessons which I also hope to have up by the end of the month.

We love it here! Our apartment is really nice, and so are our landlords! Their 5 yr. old daughter visits our apartment often and as she only speaks German, is giving me a lot of practice. I'm having fun biking everywhere as Karl takes the Karl to work almost everyday.

Okay, that's it for now! Above are a couple pics of the mountains near where Karl is working!

It's official!

After 10 months, I am finally Elizabeth Seume (in my passport). The driver's license and Social Security and tax stuff was all easy, but we never had time to change my passport. So this month we finally sent it off, so that in Germany, and for taxes here, I can officially be a Seume. Now all my students will have to call me Frau Seume (really they will probably just keep calling me Liz :-))

Residenz Heinz Winkler

Here's a video I found about the place where Karl is going to start working in August! You can see the town and restaurant a little, and get to see the chef - Heinz Winkler! Check it out!
