WOW! WOW! WOW!!
It really has been a while since I last wrote huh?! What can I say, I'm sorry! I hope you all haven't given up on my blog. I will try harder to keep you all informed of what's going on with us!
Let's see... since I last wrote the kids have had their birthdays! Sean is now 4 years old and Kayla is now 2 years old! I decided to do their parties together. That way I didn't ask all of our friends to come over two saturdays in a row. We had a really great turn out and the kids had a blast! I decorated the house with two themes. My dining room was Iron Man for Sean and my living room was Cinderella for Kayla! Sean's Iron Man cake was made by the commissary and I made Kayla's cinderella cake! I wasn't sure if it was going to turn out well or taste very good, so a friend of mine made a sheet cake and brought that over too! We had plenty of cake so that was good!
The kids and I have taken a couple of trips also. One trip we took was with the hospitality house here in Graf. We went to Rothenburg and had an english speaking tour guide. It was very fun. I love to learn the history of a town and Rothenburg has GREAT history. When my parents come to visit this septemeber, I want to take them there for the "Night Watchman" tour!
Sean and Kayla did really well during the tour. They were able to walk with the group, so they liked that! One place that I thought was really interesting was a church that we went into. There is a wooden hand carved statue of "The Last Supper." They say that inside the bubble that's in the cross are three drops of Christ's blood. Now I will leave that up to your own interpretation, but I thought that was just a cool 'fact'.
Other than trips, some more news is that I started selling Partylite! It's a bunch of candles, home decor, and even some spa stuff! I love selling it and my business is doing really well! I am book solid up until the day befor I leave! It makes my schedule a little hectic, but it'll give me some spending money for my trip back home.
Speacking of... I'm going to be going back to the states for two months! I am so excited!! We will be leaving around the 2nd of march. I say 'around' because the kids and I will be taking a Space-A flight so we're not sure when we'll be flying out or even where we'll be landing! My parents are going to be on stand by to come get me. I have about 4 friends here in germany with all of my contacts back home and their numbers. That way when I do finally fly out, there is a way to get ahold of SOMEONE and tell them my flight schedule!! :) It'll be fine, but maybe a little hectic. God has always been there to help us with our travels before and He'll be with us this time too!
Chris will be taking R&R while I'm home as well! We thought that since we probably wont be able to go home when he gets back from Iraq, that we would meet stateside so he can see his family and friends again! I cannot WAIT to see him again. It'll be about 9 months since we last saw him. The kids are SO excited! We've made plans to go to this hotel called "The Great Wolf Lodge." You should look it up online. It is so cool. They have a HUGE indoor waterpark that we can swim in from 9am to 9pm if we want! It'll be nice to have family time just the four of us for a couple of days! The grandparents might come up and see us for a day... we haven't really talked to them about it yet!!
Well, I think that is about it for us. You're all caught up. I hope you all enjoy the blog and the pictures! Have a great day!!
The Browns!
