So here I sit on the floor of the Phoenix Airport waiting to get to Chicago. How I started in Salt Lake and ended up back in Arizona, I'm not quite sure. But none the less I'm here.
So if things started going right, I should be in Germany within 24 hours. Which one of those 24 is still the question. I can't really put in words how excited I am to get this going. Its seems like forever ago now that I first started getting things going to get over there.
I had someone suggest to me that I put my hopes and expectations and such in my first blog, then as I go, I can see how close they were to reality. I can't say I have a lot of specific things that I'm hoping for. Of course a major hope I have is that I have an amazing family that I will be working with. I can already count that hope as completed. I've spoken with the Mother, Christine, via email and on the phone and I love her already. She is awesome and the rest of her family sounds just as amazing. Another hope I have is that I will be able to communicate with people. I have a very basic knowledge of German right now, and in a funny way that makes me even more nervous. I'm weird, I know. But Brittney keeps reassuring me that I will do just fine, as long as I have confidence in myself and make myself speak German.
Well I guess those are the two big hopes on my mind right now. I'm sure once I get over there and get a little more situated, I'll have some more expectations for myself.
I just saw a girl eating Pizza Hut and realized how hungry I am, so I'm going to sign off for now in hunt for some food. Hopefully next time I have an update I'll be in Germany (or at least out of Arizona).
Toodles... Amy!!
Amy
Here I am!
Amy and Poseidon
Okay, so funny story about this picture. I am sorry, but this is going to turn PG-13 here for a second. So while I was on this statue taking pictures, some lady walks up and says in English with a really thick accent, "Think of sex!". It was hilarious! So to please my audience I caressed Poseidon's chest and made my best suductive look. Thus we have the above photograph.
Christoph and Amy
This is my beloved Christoph and I with the gorgeous Heidelberg Schloss (Castle) in the background.
The Heidelberg Castle
We didn't actually take this picture, but I thought I'd give you a sneak peek of what it looked like. There is more color in the trees than we saw because I'm guessing this was taking a little earlier in the year. Either way, it is really pretty.
Shot of the House
This is the house from the front. You can see that it has kinda two sections, with a huge gate and "courtyard" thing in the middle. The outside doesn't look like much but the inside is pretty cool.
My Humble Dwelling
This shot is of my "pretty cool" bedroom. You can see that the bed is on like a loft, with my clothes underneath. It isn't much more than some 2x4's and plywood, but it gets the job done. And yes it is messy, it wouldn't be Amy's room if it wasn't!
The Dorf (a.k.a village)
The view out my bedroom window isn't much, but upstairs off the balcony I got this great shot of some of the little village.
Red Rooftops
Here is one more shot from the balcony. I think I was facing East, but am not 100% sure. I love the classic red roofs and the church steeples. And you can't forget the gorgeous blue sky, of cousre. Love it!!
