YAY! We finally have our German cell phones! It was very weird going four days with no cell phone. Lucily one of our friends gave Daniel a little prepaid one so he could stay in contact with his unit but even so we were both in smart phone withdrawl mode! haha We originally bought iPhones back in the states so that we could just switch out the sim cards and bring them here but we ended up getting a really sweet deal and got two new Samsung Galaxy S3's for 1 Euro each! They are awesome phones and I am really glad we got them. I missed having an android phone instead of an iPhone. We can't call or text the states without it costing us a large sum of money so for those of you with smartphones we will be using kik for messaging. Just download it in the marketplace and create an account then let me know and I will send you our user names! We also have tango for video calls.
We haven't done much yet. Thursday was our first full day here and we mostly spent that getting food and neccesities for the hotel room and took Luna on a walk. Friday we spent the whole morning in Daniel's inproccessing class filling out paper work and getting his appointments. We are so anxious to get housing and we have our appointment on Monday; I cannot wait! Then we had some lunch with friends and rode the bus for the first time. After we got back we headed off post to get phones. The way it works in Germany is that you go in and then they set it to activate which takes about 3 hours then you come back and get the phone. Our phones weren't ready by the end of the day so we had to wait and come back this morning.
Today we slept in until 10:30, which was nice becuase we had to get up very early our first two mornings here. Then we walked up to T-Mobil and got our new phones. We brough Luna walking with us which she loved! Then we came back to the hotel and had some food and spend almost an hour setting up our new phones exactly how we wanted them... did I mention how much I missed having an Andriod phone, because I definitely did! After that we hung out around hotel for a while, and I caught up on the vice presidential debate that I had missed on Thursday. We had to go over to the commisary again to get some more food; the snacks went faster than I expected! Now that we have had dinner we are just enjoying a night in so we can rest up so hopefully we can do some exploring tomorrow!
On an exciting side note I finally figured out how to add pictures. Hopefully tomorrow I will find lots of neat things to take pictures of to show you all! I am off to shower and hit the bed!
Gute Nacht!
