this week has been crazy and i'm so excited to sleep in tomorrow and catch my breath (figuratively speaking of course). on friday my good friend ashley (some of you know her as texas ashley) came in for the weekend. we went to cologne, luxembourg, trier and burnkastle, and saw a ton of chistmas markets. it was so good having her here and i love that God knew what i needed and totally provided at such a great time. ashely left monday night and tuesday was club. since john was still gone i decided to set club up as more of an
event than club so we made gingerbread houses and watched elf. even though we didnt have a club talk and it didnt look like a traditional club i think it was one of the best ones we had. we've been having several new volunteer leaders coming to club and i think this really gave them the opportunity to interact with kids, it was a good night. the next day i woke up at 6am and headed for amsterdam (i convinced my friend phil
that it would be a fun thing to do while we were in the airport with ashley), i loved it and it was such a cool cultural experience, hard to see in different parts but i'm so glad that we went. yesterday (Thursday) was spent getting work done in the morning and then i went with some friends to see maroon 5 and dashboard confessional (brooke, i dont know if youre reading this but i totally thought of you during dashboard), the concert was great, way better than when i saw them at the cowpalace (or wherever that was).
today i came into the office at 9am to hang out with rosanna (shes kind of like my intern, shes a high school kid that comes in during school hours and gets school credit for hanging out with us), i'm teaching her guitar which is kind of fun. tonight were taking the high school kids to trier to go to the christmas market, i'm a little nervous about them trying to get gluwein (its a hot wine) because the legal drinking age here is only 16, but hopefully we wont have any problems. so thats been my week, it know it sounds like a lot of play (and honestly it has been) but because of how hard i was working when john and shannon were gone they allowed me to take an extra couple days to play.

Sounds so fun. I'm so glad you got some quality playtime....just like we will in FLORIDA!!! (I'm actually not that excited about Florida itself, just getting to play with you there.)
cologne has the talest cathedral. its over 155 feet tall. i learned about it in art history.
yay for dashboard confessional! :)
(of course i'm reading...just not always commenting)
"on the way home, this car hears my confessions..."
