Trying ... To... Stay.... Awake.....

So I bet you are wondering what the heck we have been up to since we got here!

Well, as you know, we are living in a hotel. The SAS Radisson to be exact. When we first arrived we were in a standard room because the hotel was booked and they weren't able to put us in a Jr. Suite. So we dealt with the small room for a 3 nights and then got moved to the 18th floor to a Jr. Suite. It is much bigger and we now have two rooms. a bedroom and living room. And our stuff all fits in here! yea!! It was a tight fit before. With the Jr. Suite we also get free breakfast. (we were paying before)So we like our room. There is a gym on the 4th floor. Not a cheesy little hotel gym, but a real gym!! We are happy about that.

Michaels work has started off great. He is really enjoying it, loves the people he is working with and I know it was nice for him that he already knew everyone and didn't have to waste time having to figure out who was who. Currently his commute is about 45 minutes... which isn't bad considering that is the same amount of time he was commuting in Dallas.

While he has been at work, I have been trying to figure out ways to eat here. We haven't really eaten out all that much and have been eating salads and sandwhiches for dinner but they are quickly getting old. and we have no forks so we are eating salad with our hands (good thing we don't eat dressing) We both miss having a kitchen! And it is really hard to eat well (meaning healthy) when you can't cook! But we are making it work. It will be nice to have a kitchen again.

The darkness is crazy. Talking about it and remembering it, and actually being in it and experiencing it are two totally different things. While its not pitch black all day long, it is still pretty dark from about 9-3. Last time we were here we were able to ease into the darkness, but this time it has been a little more difficult since we were just thrown into it. Usually for me about the middle of the day (right now) I start getting really tired. Almost like my body isn't sure if it is suppose to be waking up or to start winding down for the day. There have been a few days when the sun makes its brief appearance that the clouds are so thick and low to the ground that it makes the day super dark.

I've also been wondering the streets and have been to a couple museums. Ones I had been to previously, but was fun to go back. The state museum has a nice exhibit on the history of Denmark from the 1600-2000's. The last time I went through this exhibit we had only been here a month or two so this time through I appreciated it so much more after knowing so much more about the country.

We also went and watched the mayor light the big Christmas Tree last Sunday in the Town Hall Square. We will post that video soon...

Ill start posting more again... Ive been so tired during th day that I don't even have motivation to post on here. Michael has been dragging alot as well. And apparently a lot of the Danes are too, or so we have been told, so I know its not just us. Now I think its time to go get a cup of coffee and lunch.

I've been having some problems uploading pictures, but I'm working on it.. bleh!!
SOOOO stay tuned, for photos! Call it anticipation if you will.. ;)
