November-Love



Thanks everybody - you guys rock - it worked!!!! :-)

We.Have.An.Apartment!!! Yay!!!

It was all too weird, too perfect! Here it comes:

Ingo called the guy on Sat evening.
Nothing.
What do we do???
I said, wait 10 minutes and try one last time. Before the movies start.

He was there! He said, "so glad you call! Our daughter wants you to have the apartment and I fogot to take your names and number! Come over tomorrow at 11, ok?"

We were so excited!! Called my Mum and she said, let me know tomorrow!

10:45 Sunday morning. We found a parking space nearby. Like immediately! Which means we were too early.
Turned on the radio and there was a song we haven´t heard in ages.
A song we were partying to in Braunschweig - we were together for only a while back then. I was living in Hildesheim, Ingo in Rhüden - we were visiting my friend here.

Let´s do the Time Warp again!!!

Hello??? Isn´t that funny, is that a sign?

Three hours later I called my Mum. She said, what happened, what took you so darn long????

Well. We went into our apartment-to-be. Said our hellos, sat down. Chatted. And chatted.... it was like making new friends!
After I suppose over an hour we all signed.

And then we chatted...

Mind you! The daughter joined us certainly and Ingo asked her how school is (hello???? what a dumb question is that???)

Daughter: "I have to stay down a year..."
Ingo: "So did I!"
Mother: "So did I!"
Me: "So did I..."

You know... Seems like no one will notice there are new owners/residents in November!
Except that the girl will be gone.
And roles will change... Woman is quiet, man is loud - this is reverse atm!

So many similarities!

The woman even lived in Karlstreet before. The house beside ours.

Ingo really said, btw, to the fact that the Daughter has to repeat class 7, ah, yes at this age boys become more important, huh? ;-)

How terrible is this man???? He said this in front of her parents!

Well. Finally we made it to the door.
Both were very quiet. The woman said she´s really having a hard time to let go of the apartment.

Ohhh, boy. Seems we´re getting something good, huh?
We can come back anytime, in case we want to see some details again.

Guess we won´t. But... this is the first time in my life I look forward to November!!!
Guess we moved in here in November, too.

I´ll miss this place. Not the landlords, I tell ya!
But this has become home, too.

Ingo get´s his village back, btw!
Next weekend there is a "Street-Party" in our Department-to-be. Just like in a village :-)
We´ll go, Ingo says.

Oh, the pic?
Guess you know Jägermeister, it´s made in Wolfenbüttel, some 15 km from here. I don´t like it, but in the cellar was a Jägermeister-chain-of-lights from the last house-party.

A house-party!!!! Impossible here, normal there.

I´m happy!!!!
Thanks for your fingers and toes! :-)

I was so happy to read this on Facebook. Congrats again. Househunting can be stressful!
