Rain....

It rains a lot in Germany. I love rain and snow so it's nice. The thing is that I lived in Las Vegas before and I don't have any clothes or shoes for this weather so that means SHOPPING!!! I have to get some rain boots for me and the kids and some nice coats that can be worn in the rain and snow. Okay, I just wrote a "To Do List". Force of habit!

Yesterday my husband came home from work and it was pretty cold in the house so I told him to get some wood from the shed and start a fire in the fire place. I love that!! It made it feel so homie! Then for dinner I made butternut squash soup. It was a perfect night.

My parents are coming to visit us! Very soon. They should be here on September 5th. I am trying to set some trips for them so they could visit some places. They want to go to Spain, Italy, and Paris. So far I have Paris and Spain. I think that they will be happy with those two! We will be going to Paris with them but Spain is going to be only my mom and dad. I am so happy for them. They deserve to do something like this. My mom works so hard and my dad does too. They deal with so much stress that I think this trip is going to be very good for them. Germany is a place that is filled with seranity and peacfulness. My dad likes to go for walks and Germans do too. There are lots of trails here and I think he is going to love to take several walks and enjoy the trees and all the beautiful things that are around here. I usually don't like to walk but now I love to because of all the nice things that I see while I walk.

So I am looking forward to the month to come.... And my kids are too....

Making friends...

Yesterday I went out to Karaoke night and met some girls. They were a very fun group of ladies! I enjoyed spending time with them and talking to them. I didn't even sing but I had a great time! I have been in Germany for 3 months now and it is going real well. We are still trying to catch up with everything we had to spend but the kids have been enrolled into school and I have bought them everything they need for school already. Now we are just waiting for school to start. As soon as school starts I am thinking of going to school myself! Going to do some things for myself! Someone told me once, "A happy mom equals happy kids". So I am taking care of me so my kids are taken care of.

Life in Germany is good! And it will be getting better....
