i just got home from work a little while ago, and its easter. i officially hate holidays here, i pretty much spend them alone..and it gets very boring. so was work today, there was nobody there and i had nothing to do all day. also i get no day off til we leave for paris on friday. im not excited about that either. paris should be fun though. were staying in a hostel near the bastille and were going to drive to disneyland paris both days, its about 43km away from the hostel, so about a 45 min drive or so. i cant wait to get out of this area..the countryside here really doesnt do much for me..i miss target and walmart in the middle of the night. and DENNYS oh man do i miss dennys. the food sucks i know, but being able to go places after 5pm sure was an adventure. there is absolutely nothing here. ugh. im cranky and tired and i think im going to bed. i have to get up early tomorrow morning to get my international drivers license..then of course work, no fun
ugh. ive been so busy lately with work. the store officially opens on march 4th, and i hope well be ready for it. i definitely deserve a vacation after all this! my overtime will be insane! as of now, i just got off work and i plan on sitting on my couch for awhile. tonight is karaoke at the e-club, so thatll be fun. i love being able to hang out with my friends, sing, and just goof around..it sure beats working. i mean, dont get me wrong, i love what im doing, but honestly, i cant wait to get a vacation in! i want to go back to the states and see my mama <3 germany is great, but living here is making me realize how much i miss florida! i want to travel and see europe, its just so hard with my schedule. tomorrow will be a busy day..i work from 9 to sometime after 5. i guess were promoting the shop around 5 at the e-club, so i have no idea when ill be done..im so exhausted. it feels so nice to just sit here and play around on the computer. but on that note, i think ill go jump in the shower, then make something small for dinner..then rest before karaoke. mama, if youre reading this just know i just called you a few times and i love you <333
now its finally 2008…and my resolutions are as follows:
1. lose 20 lbs
2. grow my hair out
3. eat and live healthier and happier
4. have more energy and motivation
yea, thats pretty much it <3
im getting a little restless…i really need to get to belgium for my flight to the states to see my grandma. everyone seems to be busy or suddenly cant take me. good news is aaron has his license, so it looks like we may be getting a rental car. but thats the last option. im going to get him to ask the fire dept guys..i really have no other option bc i dont know anyone else here, so its really hard. i thought about asking my neighbors, but i honestly havent met any of them and i would feel really awkward asking a stranger for a ride to a foreign country, ugh. God please help me out on this one…
Post Script: the cheapest rental car ive found on base so far is 44.11 euro with unlimited kilometers…and its a VW Fox or similar, so it shouldnt be too bad on gas either…so well see…
Aaron, yes and i do mean Aaron, my husband…GOT HIS INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS LICENSE!!! HE passed with a 94!!! I could not believe it!! i mean, i knew he would pass, but a 94??? oh man. i was very proud of my pooper <3
Germany is absolutely beautiful. Its been hard getting around, without licenses and transportation though. Our truck is still in the ocean, on its way here. As well as all of our belongings. Everything weve consumed has been microwavable. ugh. no pots or pans. I hate living in an empty house, all i do is sleep. Its so boring here when you cant get around. Walking to Speicher isnt bad, but the weather has been cold, rainy, and windy. So i havent been out much lately. i feel like i have cabin fever. its also hard because we dont really know anyone yet, all our neighbors have young kids. So nobody really has the time to go run around with me. To be honest, i liked it better in temporary housing. At least when i was bored i could watch tv, or walk around the base. Im out in the middle of nowhere, besides Speicher, and my German isnt that great. *sigh*
But at least im going to new york on sunday!! i cant wait to see my family..poor aaron, hes going to be so bored. im just glad ill get to see everyone..i felt bad leaving the country and not getting a chance to say goodbye…
But its about 230am here…so i really should try to get some sleep..aaron gets mad when i sleep all day. maybe ill actually do something tomorrow, instead of sitting around the house…
until then i suppose…
tschuss!
im sitting in the event center at goodfellow afb with the best hubby in the world! my trip over here was really long and now i can say im almost settled in. it feels really good to be only 5.3 miles away from aaron. i come on base just about everyday to see him. he wont be able to move in with me until 3rd phase which looks like july 30th. lame. but im not complaining because i still get to see him everyday. hes my world. <3 hes really cute in his bdus. <33
but i think what i miss most about being home is my mama, yea i know im a wimp. but i do. i miss her nagging me. haha. no i really do though, it sucks being on your own. but anyway, i need to go..ill probably head out shortly to continue my unpacking so i can get pictures posted on here, so Happy 4th everyone!!
love you mama <3
so i have 3 minutes left on my time card for the internet in the san antonio airport. it was so amazing seeing aaron, i loved coming to texas. it was quite the adventure. i cant wait to update pictures from the trip, which i will do tomorrow from home, i thought it would be really neat to write this from here..so here i am. 1 minute left..i think its about time to head to the gate. see everyone soon!!!
