BBQ, Swing Dance and Sad Goodbyes

I wasn't able to upload all my pictures, but they will be up soon!!

BBQ

A couple of weeks ago I went to hang out with the Bibel College Students at the semester BBQ.
We had a fun day with lots of games and food. :-)
We played a swedish game called Kubb which was a lot of fun. My team got had so much fun, mostly because we screamed out lungs out and tried to be all cool...haha but we lost anyway.. ;-)
I went for a walk with my friend Kelsey, (who's Mikes sister) and we took some fun pictures.
We were very lucky with the weather which was great too!



Swing Dance

Later that day we went back to the Villa and decided to have Kelsey teach us how to Swing Dance. It was sooo much fun!!! We had a great time trying things out and learning new things after we kinda got the basic steps down. :-)
A day later Kelsey tought me how to waltz too! :-D


Baptism

Sunday afternoon we went to a close lake where two of the students got baptized. It was a sweet time with worship and prayer. The rain stayed away long enough and it was even pretty warm out.

Graduation

Last wednesday it was time for the Bible College Graduation.
There were 14 Graduates!! We had a great time hanging out after the Graduation Ceremony and took our time saying goodbye to the few that were leaving the next day.

Sam's Goodbye Party

Friday after work I drove all the way to Sam's house to join her goodbye party.
The drive took me a little longer than it would normaly have, since there was a lot of travic on the way. So after about 3,5 hours I made it to her house.
There were about 17 (I think) people there and we spend time eating and just hanging out and talking about all sorts of things. :-) It was fun.
I spent the night at Sam's and the next morning we went into Hameln. (Google it if you have time:-) ) Her dad owns a restaurant there and so we met her parents and sister there and then went shopping from there. We were blessed with great weather again and I even got some bargains. :-)
I went back on the road a little later that day and made it home in about 2,5 hours since there was no travic this time, which was nice.

Sunday I was invited to cook indian food at a friends house. When I got there all the cooking jobs were taken and so I sat down with some friends and we hung out until the food was done. It was sooooo good! Good job Dami and Samuel! We were about 20 people at Daniel's house and it was nice getting to spend some time with them.

Ok, uploading pictures takes a long time lately, so I will come back later to upload some more!

Boys, Heroes and a nice weekend with Inga and new friends

Last tuesday and wednesday I watched "my" boys again and we had a lot of fun playing around with the camera, so here is one of the pics we took...it's hard to get 3 big heads into one small camera... :-)

Friday I had a day off, since it was a notional holiday here. Met my parents at a friends house for a little BBQ and then wanted to visit my friends at the Bible College. It took me super long to get there, since the police had blocked off half of the village it's in, because of some protest march that was going on. Lucky enough I know the area, so I was able to take the little side roads to school.

When I got there I found out that they were having their theme night that day and the topic was "Heroes and Villains" since I wasn't dressed up, Jessi said I could just be her hero. :-)

Some of the students really put a lot of work into their costumes, and it was a lot of fun to hang out with everyone again. :-)

Saturday my friend Inga came to visit me for the weekend. She will also be going to the states as an Au Pair for her second time and had an interview for her visa at the consulate in Frankfurt. She could have gone to one closer to her home, but wanted to visit me, so she traveled all the way here from her home, which took her about 5 hours.

We took the chance to invite some other Au Pair girls, who also came into Siegen for the day.

We had a great time together. It was nice meeting new girls that have the same experience ahead of them as I do, we were three return Au Pairs and two first timers. :-) It felt like we all knew each other already which was great. :-)

Inga stayed until monday morning and we had a great sunday together with some friend from church. I got to go on my first, no wait, actually my second ride in a convertible, which was a lot of fun! Fun for the wind too, as you can see! haha

hmmm, I can't upload another pic at the moment...but I will put it up as soon as I can!
