I'm in Europe!

Again! Today we arrived after 4 train rides, 1 bus ride and a gondola (airial tram) in Gimmelwald, Switzerland. It's BeAuTiFuL! In the Swiss Alps. We're all having a lot of fun! Yesterday in Germany was great too!
There are no forms of transportation here except bikes and walking, and no tvs here. No grocery stores.. and the resteraunts only serve food like every 2 weeks.

ONE week from today! :

.. I am going back to Germany! I haven't been this excited about anything since I went to Germany last year! This year it's going to be way different, but still way fun! I'm going to stay with the Christians I met last year, and also meet up with some friends I met at school over there. And the best part.. besides actually going to Germany, is that some friends are going with me! The only sad part is that I won't be there for long. I've never gone over seas and stayed for less time than a month.

ONE month from today :

.. My little sister gets married! How crazy.
So I'm supposed to give her a bachelorette party.. Does anyone have ideas for that? I think she wants it the Wednesday night before her wedding after bible study in KY. Any ideas for fun things to do..?
And we have some family friends coming in from California for her wedding to stay at my moms. We're SO excited to see them! It's been forever!

Seven months from today :

I will hopefully be getting ready to END my college career! Yay! And I'll turn 24 :/ Then I'll be worrying about what to do next with life. So while I look forward to it, I also dread it.


And that's as far into the future of me that I can see!

So.. comments, suggestions, questions.. :)
  • tweedledee
    Wow!! Soooo excited for you!! Let me know if I can help you with anything... I'll try to help. =)

    So, I guess that means that they wouldn't let you take the last class you need in the summer? What a drag! I have no idea what you would do in BG for a bacholorette party. My friends rented a hotel room for my party and we hung and did everything there.

A little bit cooool...

Handmade Challenge
I got this from Jennifer's blog.. :) just copied and pasted..

The first five people...
to leave a comment on this blog will receive something made by me. However there are some limitations:
1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make. I'll do my best, but there's no accounting for my crazy taste.
2. What I create will be just for you, unless you specify that you want something for a spouse or child in your post.
3. It will be done within a year (might take a while).
4. You have no clue what it is going to be and I'm not going to give you any hints.
5. I reserve the right to do something really crazy or fun.


Here's the catch: if you choose to do this, you must post this on your blog and be ready to make something for five people too. This will be fun! When you receive the fabulous item I make you, you must post a picture of it on your blog.

Let the challenge begin!

J and I found this cute root while hiking!
Photobucket
He made me walk up a mountain for 7 miles over rocks and it was hot. I almost didn't talk to him again after this. But it was such a nice view at the top, I reluctantly forgave him.
Photobucket
Ok. Keith with his head stuck in the bird cage... at a few different angles. haha. His head was in there for like an hour!!

Amanda and Matt. Matt just rubbed tooth paste on Amanda's nose, which then evolved to all over her face. :)
Photobucket
I couldn't keep a straight face like I was supposed to.
Photobucket
I really had to go.. After seeing this, I realized it wasn't an emergency.
Photobucket
Alex and me.
Photobucket
This just makes me laugh. It's the bottom 1/2 of my dad. Getting something out of his plane.
Photobucket
Me with Mitch on a fun day.
Photobucket
Cause she's so incredibly cute.

It's been a very rough few days.. Up to the point that if someone looks at me wrong, I'll cry. Sorry to those who've had to endure it.. *cough J cough* I'm not usually like this. Promise!

Hopefully everyone else is having a fun week! I will too. Starting tomorrow! :)
