Home Sweet Home
On September 15, 2005, I became the proud renter of my very own Flat. I couldn't have been more excited - not that living at work was very convienent, but it's always nice to have a place to call your own. It took awhile to find the "perfect" place for me, but I am glad I waited and didn't take the first place I saw. Verena Mueller, a co-worker, knew of an empty flat in her building. I gave it a chance and loved the place.
There are about 10 people who live in the house - everyone is in their 20's or early 30's so it is "young" house. Everyone is very nice.
The house sits on a quiet little street. The exact area that I live in is called Plittersdorf. It's about 15-20 minute bike ride to work in the morning - A little farther from work than I wanted, but I really enjoy where I live. I have everything near me that I could need - a gym, 2 grocery stores, a couple of restaurants, my bank. It's wonderful and it is very, very cloase to the River, which is wonderful for running.

My first Dinner Gathering
And After Dinner, we went to the basement of my house and played Kegel Bahn - 9 pin Bowling. Yes, I have a "Bowling Alley" in my basement - a major selling point for me!
So, as you can see, I am now set up for visitors. It's not very big, but it's cozy, and I can call it home for my stay in Germany.
I hope everyone is doing well. I look forward to hearing from you all.

Betsy, I am so jealous that you have a bowling alley in your basement. I hear Grandma Liebsch is a big bowler? Maybe you'll be able to give her a run for her money.
Hey Betsy! Its your cousin Wesley. I heard you were living in Germany for a year at the reunion. I'll be in Germany in late June or early July. Ill be staying with a host family through my school. I'll spend 2 weeks in Germering going to school and site seeing and then travel through Munich, Dachau, Salzburg, and Neuschwanstein. I am very excited about it! It would be nice to arrange something so we could meet up. It would be funny because we hardly see eachother when we live just across the river but when we are across an ocean! Ill keep you updated on the trip!
Hey Betsy! Sounds like you have finally settled in. The place you found is super cute...I love the IKEA-esk furniture. I hope that all is well. Take care! ~Camila
