Let's FF>> (fast forward) a few days (about a week) in the whole German Trip :-) I always enjoy talking about it.

On January 4th, Tim and I dropped off his family at the airport in Munchin (munich). I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute with the Haugrud family as we journeyed across Germany/Italy/Austria/Slovenija together - so this was a hard departure. We enjoyed a nice ride to the airport listening to some amazing Bing Crosby music - I had no idea that "Silent Night" could be sung in so many different ways! When we arrived at the airport, we got some kaffee and some donuts and then went to the line to tell them all goodbye. I miss them all so much still! Thank the Lord they made it home safely on the plane :-) Here is a picture of Tim and his family before they all left to go back home.


Once we left the airport, Tim and I headed into Munchin (munich) to walk around and find a place to eat an authentic Bavarian meal. We enjoyed spending loads of time in the car trying to find a parking place/parking garage. Some of these parking garages were very strange - one of them looked as if you would park your car on an uphill slope with a metal bottom...then when you press a lever the bottom would come up and basically hide your car from view. Yes - very strange. Thankfully, Tim found a more normal parking slot and we took that one. After exploring the town, taking pictures in front of lions (Tim did this), and visiting some old cathedrals we stopped at a great restaurant where we had *drum roll please* bratwurst and saurkraut. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! If there was such a thing as smell-a-blog I would try my best to make sure you could experience it with us!


Here are a few pics from Munchin

The other city Tim took me to visit was Nurnberg, about 90 minutes away from his home. It was a good day - Tim did a good job planning :-) We walked around the old part of the town, enjoyed some more yummy bratwurst and saurkraut, walked around an old fortress, visited about 6 old cathedrals (all beautiful and ornate), and just enjoyed being in a beautiful city on a very cold winter day. The pictures from the day are few but nice, so here they are - hope you all enjoy them! The last week with Tim was so nice - certainly will always treasure it and am, of course, looking forward to when we can spend more time together in-person in the future :-)


Ahhh - this picture is our last day together. We were finishing up some loose ends at his place before he dropped me back off at Brian and Aimee's place so we decided it'd be a nice time to stop and take a picture....or two...


Yes - that is me and the Norwegian flag...about as close to Norwegian as I'll ever get ;-)

Learning About Him

Where do I begin to describe all that the LORD has been teaching my little heart about Himself? He is such a patient Shepherd and the past two weeks in Europe have given me an even deeper glimpse of how much I need Him and His guidance in every area of my life : ) That is a little tid-bit as to what I am Learning About Him - but perhaps you all would like to see a few pics of the adventures the LORD has put me on in order to bring me to a deeper realization of my need for Him and His help. Yes, I went all the way to Europe! For 2 weeks (and I still have one week left in Europe) I have been traveling all over. From little Zettlitz to the huge Berlin and then driving through the Alps to seeing beautiful Venezia (Venice), Italy. All of this was something the LORD has been bringing about for some time and I have had the priviledge of spending these journeys with a dear friend of mine, Tim Haugrud. Yep...a boy : ) It would take too long to tell the whole story, but all I can say is that the...

There is no way I could resist the tempation to put this little "story" on here that happened to me today - I have never laughed so hard nor been so stunned by a 2-year-olds perception. Here it goes: I was at Target in between class period just browsing around...being really bored because I didn't need to buy anything and I wasn't looking for anything. But I found a cute and modest dress on the 75% rack for only 4 dollars! It was black and had red flowers printed abstractly on it. I picked it up and was rummaging around to see if there were any more great dress deals (because I LOVE a bargain!). Suddenly, this little boy with blond hair and blue eyes comes up to me...he looks up at me, scrunches his little face and says with utmost curiosity, "Why are you buying a spiderman suit?" My mouth dropped open. What? I had picked up a spiderman suit? Then I looked at the items hanging on my right arm. Oh yes - that 4 dollar dress was the culprit. So I looked at the ...

People Need The Lord

Last weekend was quite the adventure...my stomach was constantly filled with many butterflies flying around in my stomach. Hahaha - but as Mr. Kelderman says "If you train them to fly all in the right directions...then it won't be so bad!" : )- Perhaps you are wondering as to why I was overtaken by nervousness last weekend. Well...Anne-Marie G., Emma, Marie, Kimberly H. and myself were all asked to come speak at a Ladies Missionary Day at the Northside Bible Chapel. The idea of me speaking made me quite nervous : / It was hosted by a group of young girls called the M&M Club; which stood for Mission & Ministry...isn't that wonderful? These girls get together (their fearless leaders are Emily Peters and Jenny Keane) every month with a desire to grow closer to the Lord, help out their chapels and encourage other believers across the world. They put together a Saturday that was set aside for Missions...we all came to speak and share what the Lord had done in our l...
