It's pretty fun when you're closing date and time get set and you take off work and your parents take off work to help and then they tell you the day before that the closing may not happen until the next week.

That ain't cool.

Well that sucks, hope they can get back on schedule for you. When will the house warming party be?
 
Only CG and 55 are invited. Sorry

Ooops....

I won't tell you about our "diehard Hawkeye" daughter who scheduled her wedding for the weekend of the ISU/UI game AT ISU...but "didn't realize it was that weekend"; we were planning on giving our tickets away to go to the wedding. One of her brothers clued her in...and we assured her we wouldn't miss her wedding. She then got married in late June (without telling us or inviting us to be there) and decided to have a reception/watch party on the original date at her in-law's house. Her in-laws, husband, and various family members, all diehard Hawkeyes. Let's see: give away our tickets and watch the game surrounded by people we don't know in a living room in the heart of Waterloo, none of whom recognize ISU is a real university with students and all...or use our tickets.

I won't tell you any of that because we are VERY bad parents. We used our tickets.

In retrospect, though...it might have been fun watching the game with them after all. It was the 2011 triple OT game.

*evil grin*
wait, wait, wait, you've got to explain this more. I get most of it, but your daughter didn't invite her parents to the wedding?

We were invited to the "formal" wedding that never happened. They decided to get married a couple of months early (they were already living together). Supposedly they "couldn't reach us". Only his family were there; none of hers (in addition to us, her mother & stepfather were left out, along with her brothers & sister). It was really strange all around.
 
I'm heading out to go deregister with the government (tell them I'm no longer living in my apartment) and I'll get there about 10 minutes after it opens. The over/under on how long I'll need to wait is an jour and 20 minutes. I'm taking the over

Yeah, that is weird. That's what I couldn't understand

Where WILL you be living? On the street, or is the internship over?

It might help if you knew that it was her third wedding (and we were not paying for it) and they probably figured out they couldn't afford the big splashy affair they wanted. Most of her life has been entirely focused on herself and what she needs/wants. In that way, she's VERY much like her mother (I'm her step mother).

Ah ok.

Today's the last day of the internship so I'm staying in my apartment tonight and leaving for my summer class tomorrow where they'll have housing for us. Also, I was smart to take the over. I sat that there 2.5 hours (which wasn't too bad, I just worked on a writing sample and read) before my name was called. And the best part? They wouldn't let me deregister once I finally could talk to them. Apparently Germany gives you about 7 days from when you deregister to when you leave. So they won't do it since I'll be in Giessen for a month. Even though I'll be there legally and everyone agrees I don't need to register there. So I have three options: I can register and then deregister in Giessen, I can come back to the Bürgeramt in Frankfurt and deregister before I leave (except not really because I'll get back into Giessen on a Saturday and why would a worse version of our DMV think to be open on a Saturday), or (and this is an option I've given myself) I can just say **** it and leave without deregistering and just screw over future woo making it a real hassle if I ever want to work over here or follow a so or wife over here (this last option is really tempting).
