My First Week as a Floridian - Meine Erste Woche in Florida

Today I finally feel like a Floridian. I got my license today. Yeah for me! :-) 

This means a lot to me because I won't have to carry my German passport with me anymore and it feels good to have something official with my address on it!

My social arrived yesterday already. All in all, everything got here pretty fast. I'm happy that all the running around last week paid of!

Besides going to all the different offices last week, I've done quite some shopping to stock up our fridge and pantries. While I was out looking for some ethnic food I remembered the Word Market. So I stopped there and found some things I was looking for (tahini or sesame paste for hummus).

Home, Sweet Home! - Zu Hause

Finally I am finding some time to write. It is Thursday already, so I lived in my new home for about three days. It feels so good to finally be here, it is hard to describe the feeling!

I left Germany on Monday, May 14th in the early morning. My parents brought me to the airport.

But they weren't the only one.

Visa approved - Visum genehmigt

Yesterday my visa got approved! FINALLY!!!

This are the best news. I am so happy! The whole processes started almost a year ago. Around May 25th last year we send the petition to the USCIS. I should get the visa by the 14th, maybe a bit earlier... I'm so excited! I can't hold back all the exclamation marks, sorry!!! :-)

So, let's start over in case you want to know how my interview went:

I took a train to Frankfurt on Saturday. There I met my friend Isamae and we had dinner together at this wonderful Asian restaurant, Coa in Frankfurt. If you get a chance, you should go. I had an amazing coconut-pumkin soup with shrimp and Thai curry with shrimp and fish. I was able to stick to my diet the whole time I was in Frankfurt, believe it or not!
