Mmmm...leather!

We can hardly believe it - our furniture is finally here! It is beautiful and was well worth the wait (total time from purchase to home delivery = 123 days). Next on the furniture list is a dining room table. We will probably check out what Belgium has to offer on that front - lots of good antiques there...and waffles.

John finished 3rd in the Rheinblick Open on Sunday - I'm so proud! We celebrated with some friends (and margaritas) that night. Way to go Johnny!

My copy of Gardening for Dummies arrived today and so I embark on my journey toward a green thumb. The balcony of our apartment has built-in planters which came stocked with a few rose bushes and boxwood bushes that need some love. I also plan to add other pretty flowers and start an herb garden. Should be fun.

Weather's nice in .de

Finally posted some pics from our trip to Prague (Czech Republic) back in April. Debating whether to publish our bar-hopping photos...can you say incriminating?

So Kim and I are finally settled back in Germany after being apart for 3+ weeks -- my golf trip to NC and her work training in the States. We finally got our pictures back from framing and we're getting our furniture delivered on Monday -- so the pad is getting some touch-ups. The weather has been awesome here for the whole month of May: mid-60s to mid-70s every day. Awesome golf weather!!

Speaking of golf, I'm playing in a tournament this weekend. Shot a 71 in round 1. I think I'm in 2nd - I played with a German guy who shot 68 with 7 birdies and a hole-out from 160yds for eagle (that's a skin). Not efficient scoring but he's up 3 on me... I'll let you know how I fair after tomorrow's final round.

We're hosting a margarita party tomorrow night -- to keep the Germans up since we have Monday off. Keep your eyes peeled for some fun photos...
