Good-bye, German driver's license! :( Hello, Austrian one!

Over spring break, I started the process of getting my German driver's license changed to an Austrian one with Ring instead of Kidd.  I did not realize that having an American passport and German license would be so challenging when trying to get an Austrian one.  I had to go on a wild goose chase to find paper work showing that I was in fact in Germany six months prior to receiving my license.  I was pretty annoyed when I found that out...I like to start a task and get it done!  Plus the hours for the DMV are kinda hard to work with ... being open only in the mornings except on Thursdays (the only day where we have staff meetings) makes it hard to get out there. So I was really frustrated when I couldn't get it taken care of during my break.
I'm very sad to have to give this up ... it only cost a bit over a thousand euros and SEVERAL tears ...
all the crazy paper work and copies (the blue paper is a list of things that need to be copied!)....can I just say craziness...again...
 

THE FINAL PRODUCT:

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...

6. chair

Z is loving her new "chair"- no more laying around in the buggy for this little one. {unless of course she's napping} She loves looking around and taking it all in. I love being able to see her better this way and laugh together. Just today I got stopped at the grocery store by a woman that asked me if I knew how adoringly my baby was looking at me.  It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
