new friend, german food and a long walk

hey there,

it's been a while again.

There are a lot of things going on right now and those close to me know about them so I won't go into detail here on the blog. It would be great if you could pray for my family here and me as well.

I personally am doing pretty good. I love being here at this time of year and have been spending a lot of time with my new friend Steffanie, who just moved here after a rematch about 3 weeks ago. She is from Germany also and we were actually at the same orientation at the beginning of our year.
We've been having some fun days together.

Friday we went to Albertville, an outlet mall about 35 minutes away from us. I bought a pair of converse shoes in purple which I love! :)
Today we get to go to my friend Sarah's birthday bbq, which will be great too.

Sarah is a nanny from friends of the family and we get to have playdates with the kids and hang out every once in a while.

Some weekends ago, she asked me to join her and her friends in a 5 K walk around the MOA for breast cancer. All the money made that day goes toward b c research! It was a fun event and there were soo many people walking, it was a lot of fun!

A couple of weeks ago, Steffi and I went to a german restaurant called "Black Forrest Inn", we hadn't had "german" food in 6 months (yes, that's ho long I've been here now, isn't it crazy!)
I got a "Sauer Braten" with "Spaetzle" and "Sauerkraut" and a "Semmelknoedel" . The "Sauerbraten" was amazing! I loved it and kinda want to go back right now and have some more. :D I also got to have a "radler" which wasn't as good as at home, but fine. :)

my first 5K run is coming up and I haven't been as good n training myself, so I really need to get of my backside and do some more running soon!

Well, that's it for now. Let me know how your week has been!!
