Residents of Germany

We’re officially legal residents of Germany until June 30, 2013! Alex got a letter in the mail saying that his residence permit was ready to be picked up in Osnabrück. Everyone knew that his wouldn’t be a problem, but I was overcome with fear when my letter didn’t come in the mail. My 90 visitor days were wearing thin…
The two of us had only been to the immigration office in Osnabrück by car with Katja, and Google Maps told us it was a distance from the train station. The only thing to do was to take our bikes on the train. That was even more annoying than the luggage fiasco.

Once we got to the city, we rode our bikes to the office. They gave Alex his brand new residence permit, as promised, and coincidentally, had mine ready to go, too! It was so exhilarated! Everything was falling into place, and all the exasperating paperwork was worth it!
