new season, new digs

Hey all! As you know we are back in Frankfurt am Main and we have a new place to live. We decided we wanted a change of scenery and so we are on the lookout for a new apartment. Until we find the flat of our dreams, however, we are staying in this very nice short-term rental apartment. Please enjoy the pics below.





We went to the foreigners office (Ausländerbehörde) today to get our visas all sorted out. Wouldn't you know it, someone at their office made a mistake and so we have to go back again sometime in the coming weeks. We are hoping that Brenda gets documentation saying we can stay in Frankfurt for the next three years. That way, at least, she wont have to go back every year for new papers. As I'm sure you know, I have to go to the foreigners office every time I get a job. The very sweet lady we met with today said she is going to try to get me some sort of special visa that wont make me come back in so frequently. I'm not holding my breath. The funny thing is, the woman that helped us at the foreigner's office is marrying an American in the next few weeks and will be moving to North Carolina in 2 months. That means she is going through the exact same thing we are going through just with the US instead of with Germany. She'll get to be the foreigner jumping through the various governmental hoops for a change.

Brenda has started rehearsals for the Tales of Hoffman and, so far, everything is going splendidly. She will be doing a lot of dancing during her aria which is heavily inspired by Beyonce's Single Ladies. It should be a lot of fun.

Well, there's not too much else going on. I hope you all are great and I'll talk to you next week!
