Settling in

It's been almost two months since we arrived in Berlin. Slowly we are learning how to navigate the city and we are finally starting to feel a little more settled. Last weekend we decided to add some color to our otherwise white wohnzimmer (living room)! We picked a nice earthy orangy-brown to compensate for our lack of pictures and wall hangings. The place is beginning to shape up and is feeling more and more like home. Besides our home decorating ventures, we have been busy with work and play. Matt is enjoying his position at Max Planck and I have recently become employed at the Berlin Metropolitan School! It is an international school right in Mitte, Berlin's historic and exciting center. I am currently a long-term substitute but I have been offered a full-time contract for next year! So thankful for the opportunity to gain international teaching experience as well as some new teacher friends!
