Its a Monday

Wow my weekend was busy. Friday evening when i got home I felt like i had plenty of time to get some things done, but I was wrong. I was trying to close out my jewelery party(that i hosted the week before) and it took 2 hrs because our internet is so lame. Then my neighbor called and asked me to come over to her Candle Light party. That is how it is over here, everyone is always hosting or doing something, and i feel like i have to do it all, especially if they come to my stuff.... Anyway by the time i got home and ate, i had one hour to work on a few things. Pour Jess has been coming home to a messy house, ha ha. Now he has to pitch in more.

He's been busy too though because he is doing school, and trying to be the perfect air force guy so he can win an award, so he has all of these taskings all of the time. So our weekend off turned into both of us being pretty busy and exhausted this morning. He had to get up too, ha ha, because he is volunteering for career day at the base High School...see isn't he a good little NCO.

Sunday morning we actually had a brunch with some good German friends of ours...ever since we moved we don't see them too often....We use to live in the same town and saw them all of the time, now we live 30 mins away and they feel like its really far to hang out. European since of distance is really different in the since that everything in their Country is a days drive or so. For us in the States, i guess we look at it differently...most of our friends and family all live 20 to 30 minutes away, not necessarily in the same town, so we're use to driving far, especially for vacation. Anyway every time we want to make plans with them they say, 'lets me somewhere because its a long drive.' Craziness, but that is cultural differences for you. We had a great breakfast at this diner that is suppose to be American style, but there are no pancakes on the menu, among other things. Our friends said they were disappointed because it was more like German food, (which in my book was fine...the best croissants you have ever had.) I miss them so much. We suggested that we go out to dinner this Saturday to celebrate Jesse's bday (haven't even done that yet...sad)

Im working 3 days this week. Getting use to it and a little more comfortable, but it is definitely challenging (which is a good thing). Lots to remember and screw up, so they keep me on my toes. I really am enjoying the people i work with and the job.

I miss everyone, i haven't talked to anyone on the phone in a while, so maybe i will be able to catch someone soon.

ok, better get back to work
