Upon our arrival in Germany, we checked into the Kelley Hotel. Our reservation was for up to 90 days, but we were determined to be out of there WAY before then! We wound up living in the hotel for 15 long days. Once we were inprocessed enough to actually look at houses, that's all we did...all day EVERY day!! We saw LOTS of houses...a few that definitely weren't for us, some that COULD have been for us, and ONE that totally WAS for us! We saw houses that were out in the middle of corn fields; houses that had 32 steps up to the house from the street; houses that were beautiful but WAY outside of town; houses that reeked of cigarette smoke; and even one house where our neighbors would have been from Arkansas!! But through it all, we just kept looking for that feeling of being right...maybe not the perfect house, but the house that was perfect for us!
Hotel living was absolutely not for us! Having all 5 of us in about 400 sq feet, 24 hours a day, with no room to move around or escape each other was tiring, to say the least. We had one queen size bed, a full size pullout couch, and a rollaway bed. Every inch of floor space was covered!! Luckily when we got here, the weather was very warm, and there was big playground outside the hotel...so the kids and I spent quite a bit of time out there....everyday! : ) It was truly a lifesaver!!

| A didn't believe she was a bed hog...proof is in the picture! We had to get a 2nd rollaway bed for poor T...so she slept in the dining room the rest of the time! |

| We were sooooo happy when we found our house!! And even though we have loaner furniture and we are sleeping on airbeds, it is so much better than the hotel!! We absolutely can't wait to get our household goods and really turn this into our home!! |
