Prefect Princess Picture!
The view was breath taking!

This weekend, Mark the art teacher, took me around to 3 different castles. So of course I had to buy a tiara and wear it when we went to the castles:-) It was so much fun! Sara and Matt went to Amsterdam this weekend and I stayed on base. I do miss her:-) Mark and I had a great time. It was nice too because we drove a lot so I got to see some country side and I realized just how beautiful Germany is. I am loving it here!!

I start my new placement tomorrow in preschool! I am super excited and a little nervous at the same time. It should be great. I am putting up my first bulletin board for tomorrow. My mom comes next week!!! Next Wednesday to be percice!! I am SOOOOO excited to see her and hug her! We are going to Salzberg, where sound of music was filmed! It should be super fun. She leave Wednesday the 8 and on that day Jeremy arrives! He is also coming out to see me! We are either thinking of going to Garmish or Pargue. Still working out some details but I am so excited he is coming out!!

I have 8 weeks left. The time has just flown by! I will be home before I know it. I miss you all so much!!

Sickness

Hello everyone! Well I have been here for all most 8 weeks. I am all most done with my first placement. I can't believe it! The time has just flown by. I am looking forward to starting my second placement in preschool. It will be a big change from 2nd grade to precshool but I am looking forward to it.

Last week my superivor from NAU came, Marilee. But sadly I did not get to spemd much time with her. I started to get sick on Monday and it just got worse. By Wednesday I had to take a half day cause I was so sick. Kathi was sick also, and Kathi NEVER gets sick or takes days off. She took a half day on Wednesday as well. Come Thursday I was feeling a little better, Kathi took the whole day off. I still was feeling pretty bad but came to school casue Marilee was going to obsver me. But I was out of it pretty much all day and just wanted to sleep. Come Friday it was worse. Marilee took me to a German doctor. The Doctor told me I had a virus and need to stay in bed and get some rest. I did. I slept all day then went to bed around 7. I don't think I have ever gotten as much sleep as I did over the past few days.

Yesterday was a very very rough day. Sara and Matt went to Salzberg for the weekend, so I was by myself. Which was fine. I was still not feeling all that great, so I watched movies and played my DS all day. Just relaxed. I decide I wanted to talk to my Mom so I went to the bolwing alley to the Skype her. But the internet was out. Okay no big deal. I went to the school and emailed chated with my mom for a bit. I told her I would try the bowling alley later to see if the internet was working. I went back a few hours later and it was still not working. I tend to be a little but if a baby when I am sick, and I really wanted to talk to my mom and the internet not working jst pushed me over the edge. I started to cry casue I was still not feeling good and I wanted to be home with my mom. I could not stop crying so I had my mom tell my gramie to call me. My wonderful Gramie called me and she got me to clam down. We started to talk about other things. My mom coming for spring break!! Jeremy:-) and just life. My gramie got me to clam down and just breath. After that I went to bed. I was mentally, emtionally and physically tried.

Today I woke up refrehed and feeling better!! I am happy to finally be feeling better. I think that this being sick business needs to go away:-)

My mom is coming soon! We are going to go to Salzberg and Munich while she is here! I am so excited she is coming! And When she leave Jeremy will be here! I am very excited he is coming too! We are going to hang in Munich and somewhere else, just have not figured it out yet.

Thank you all for ypur prayers and support. I could not be doing this with out you guys! I love you all!!!

Snowboarding!!!

On our way to the slopes!!!
Getting some lessons on the basics of snowboarding!

On the ski lift!!
I <3 her!!

Last Saturday we went snowboarding!!! It was so fun!! We had to be up at 4:30am, cause the bus was leaving at 5:15am! It was super early. The drive was about 3 hours long. I pretty much slept the whole way there. Once we got there we had to take a bus to the slopes. We had a snowboarding instructor to teach us the basics of snowboarding. After about 30 minutes of teaching we hit the slopes. There "bunny hill" was no bunny hill. It was big and a little scary. But we got in 2 runs before lunch. There was a lot of falling, a lot of falling. But it was so much fun. After lunch we got in 2 more runs. Not as much falling but still there were a couple times I totally biffed it. Overall it was SO much fun!! But the next day I could hardly move. We were both SO sore! I am loving it here!!

Vienna!

One of my all time favorite pictures ever!
we had no TP where we were staying, so Sara and I took some from parliament:-)
Just being us!
The most awesome crew ever!!

Last weekend all three of us, Sara, Matt and I, went to Vienna for the weekend! We kind of went not really knowing what were going to do there. Someone one base set us up with the US embassy and we said in one of their apartments for the weekend. We took an ICE train to get there. They are pretty sweet trains. At first we were in the quiet train, we did not know this. Once we realized we were in the quite train we moved to one were we could talk without getting dirty looks.

Once we were there we went to out apartment and went to bed a little early cause we knew that we would be walking a lot the next day. And boy did we. Again we did not really know what we were going to do, so we walked everywhere! We went to the musem distract which was cool. the place, which was also cool. And parilment where we "borrowed" some toilet paper:-)

The weekend was awesome! I like doing stuff with out really knowing what the plan is. Just going with the flow. So now I have been to France, Austria and of course Germany. My mom is coming in about 3 weeks!! I am going to take her to Austria. I am really looking forward to seeing her!! And Jeremy is also coming to see me in abuot 4 weeks!!! I am really excited he is coming out too!!
