Over the river and through the woods...

ohk, so no river.. but we did go into the forest!.. sadly there was no wolf, or little red.. but there was an amazing castle! It was beautiful!!! Part of it was turned into a restruant and hotel, so we had ice cream and then explored.. holy cow!!!.. ohk so you know that feeling when you have a crush on somebody and you feel so complete and excited and you have butterflys and you are all warm inside all at once, well.. i think im IN LOVE with Germany.. seriously, standing at the top of the castle looking out was so beautiful.. if one country can be so gorgeous i cant imagine what the rest of the world looks like.. and you bet i plan on finding out.. This whole experience has been able to teach me a lot, but one thing for sure is that I am not going to be completely satisfyed living my life in one place forever.. i plan on moving to different countries or at least visiting as many as possible.. It is the most amazing feeling in the world to look out on the land after it just rained and the grass in glistening and for miles it looks like patchwork becuase of the fields and the sun is poking out through the clouds and you can see the rays of sunlight.. oh my gosh, kshdglahldgnladknk (excitment spazz) AMAZING! MY DAD IS COMING IN 4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait becuase i seriously am so fascinated by the history there is in germany.. i want to be a knight in the 1700's in a castle in germany.. HOW COOOL!!!!!!!! I cant belive my trip is almost half way over, the thought of it makes me want to cry!!.. I want to get married in germany.. ahah these are the random thoughts and day dreams i have when i look outside because its sooo wonderfully beautiful!!! I am working on planning a trip to visit austin over the break that is coming up so i can see Hamburg and get another taste of the city life.. side thought ** why dont women wear bonnets and dresses anymore?.. i want to wear bonnetts and dresses and aprons and cook in simple kitchens and dust with goose feathers and... haha ohk this castle has my mind going into super imagination mode.. haha sorry.. back to whatever i was saying.. uhmmm oh yeah well im working on that trip to visit austin, which will be cool!!.. this is exerpeince is amazing but having someone to share it with is even cooler.. someone to get excited over weird little things so im not the only one fascinated by the toilette.. haha sounds random i know but i saw the cooooolest toilet the other day!!! oops i just realised i spelt toilet the german way a few sentences ago.. haha oh well.. my languages are all confused.. haha back to the toilet!.. i finished aand pressed the flush buuttonn and then all of a sudding this rectangular thing shoots out and grabs the seat rim and then the rim rotates around while it gets sanitized and cleans.. HOW CRAZY ahha.. i was scared at first but seriously, coolest toilet in the world. haha My brain is so spaztic i apologize.. haha not sure what i have said and what i ment to say but today was fun.. a fairly uneventful weekend until today.. seems like sundays and thursdays are my favorite days of the week!. One of the counselors from CBC (carolina bible camp) has been sending me a bible verse every day for me to wake up to in the mornings.. and its so refreshing.. a great way to start everyday and something to reflect on and think about! thankss! .. well i suppose that is all for today.. no wait.. i lied its not.. i remember what i ment to write about! haha we are having an american bakesale at school friday!! im excited!!.. turns out, surprisingly enough, that in germany cookies, brownies, muffins, donuts, and cakes are not commmon desserts because they are considered "american desserts" haha.. so i gave all the kids from school receipts for fudge, and peanutbutter cookies, and cheesecake, and apple pie.. and all sorts of yummy desserts and we are going to sell them on friday at school to raise money for their graduation party thing.. haha im not exactly sure but im excited about the food! yay! well thats all for real this time.. haha hope everyone is doing well!! my host grandparents left for scottland yesterday for 10 days =(( but i cant wait to see my dad and explore germany with him! we are even going to Achern to visit Pia and Gül and maybe go to europapark!!
