Art, Horses, Kids and a Finn

Work is amazing still. Lately I've been given the possibility to decorate some of our doors and walls of our rooms we use for the after school program. I never knew that it would this much fun to paint huge pictures on walls...I love it!

Birthday calender, I drew the background and we had the kids cut out animals and then put their birthdate on it
my friend brought the clown (He's made of wood) and we put it on the wall and I drew something to go along with it

some stuff i drew on our windows to have a background for our easter bunnies 

that's the sign to our art's and craft's room 
sign to our office

Wendy ( did you know that I love my name ^^ )
We have a magazine here that shares my name. It's a blond (what?!) girl whose parents own a horse ranch, so obviously a lot of people like to joke about that. A lot of my kids at work ask me if I have my own horse just like the magazine-Wendy. So, I decided I should get one...



naaa, just kiddin :-)  A couple of weeks I went on a walk with my friend Kerstin and we met two of our other friends at a lake where they took their horses. So I got to ride a horse again after ages and had some pictures taken. :-) 

Au Pair

Last week we decided to have an Au Pair meeting in Cologne, where I was finally able to meet Sam, my new dear friend who will be moving to Minnesota as well, and some other great girls too that will be going to the states too.
We met at the train station then went to Starbucks where we hung out for a while and just talked, then went down to the Rhine where we sat again :-) and then to Subway for some dinner. It was a lot of fun! :-)





Minnesota!!!

I got a package from my family on Minnesota the other day!!!
They sent pictures of the fam and our little addition Matty!!
I also got tags for my suitcases with my name and their address on them, two great notepads with my name on them that my HostMom made, and local magazines. I am super excited and still so thankful that I met them!


Lunch with friends

The last couple of sundays I was invited to a friends house, where we cooked together after church It was a lot of fun and we had some good conversations.



One thing that made my month! (so far ^^ )

Last week I got a message on FB from my finnish friend Anssi telling me that he would be coming out to visit. So, he made it here and it is so great to see him again.
We've been hanging out the last days and I can't describe how happy I am. Spending time with him and Mike is great and reminds me so much of earlier times when we were all together at the BC! 


Ok, I guess I could think of a million more things I would love to share, but I am running out of time (it's getting late) and I need to look through my other pictures to see if there are any more I would like to put up.

I will be visiting my family in Scotland next week and I am super excited, it's almost been a year since I've seen them last!

Take care my friends!!
