DTS

IM HERE!!!!!!

I finally made it!

I have been waiting for this for as long as I can remember.

I remember being a kid and thinking, as soon as I do a DTS Ill be in the loop.

Now Im here.

For a very different reason then just being in the loop...but Im here.

Ive got a room with 5 other girls on a floor with 30 some girls in a water castle somewhere to the East of Dresden somewhere in Germany.

Im excited...kinda nervous...still shy...happy...full of anticipation for this stage in my life!

Pray for me, Ill need it!

Rambles

How quick time goes.
It seems like only yesterday i was on my way to Auckland to catch my plane.
Now I'm 5 days away from starting my DTS. WOW!!!

I'm so excited, nervous, anxious...I don't know too much about how everything's going to be once I start (how many people, what the bathrooms\bedrooms\toilets are going to be).

haha but I have complete trust that God will take care of me and the little things that may be important to me. He always does.

I've had a wonderfull time with my Grandma and family here (i leave on Friday).
It's been interesting being here for the first time without my family. But good.

Last week my Grandma and I were in a smallish car crash. A car hit the back of us and ruined the axle. But we are fine, Thank You Jesus!
It was still an interesting experience to be in a car crash. hmm...

Weekend

My first weekend in Germany!

Friday i went to a youth small group-was great to see people i hadn't seen in 4 years.
After that i went with some cousins to a pop teens feast thing in Baden-Baden where i met more people that i had known =) funny to see what 4 years does to some. I'm sure i've changed a fair bit.

Saturday me and Mutter (my grandma) had a relaxing day.

Sunday went to church and once again met more people that I haven't seen for a while =) it's all fun! The youth of the church had a hang out time that evening, it was pretty cool...volleyball, food, movie, friends.

Aaanyway! that's just a little update on my life =)
hope i didn't bore you.

(what are you supposed to write on these things anywho???)

Family

I know it's been a little while...sorry guys.

I am now in Germany at the 'family' home.

It's so nice to be here. I love it so much!

I had an amazing week in America with my Grandparents.

They live on Camano Island in Washington state.

Was so pretty and such a fun time!!!

I just love spending time with family. I only get to see most of them bowt every three 

years, so I apreaciate every minute of my time with them.

I've had a cough for about 3 weeks now and I just can't shake it off. So tomorrow I will go to the doctor. We'll see what the diagnose is. Hopefully nothing :)

Anyway, thanks for the prayers. Travel went well, and I made it safe.
