my last week in Germany...

and who knows the next time i'll be here... or traveling again... or seeing these amazing people.


life is such a grand adventure. it's so cool how God gives us these pleasant opportunities to enjoy life in such a way.
this week seems to just be dragging along... which is good thing in a sense cause i really want to enjoy every moment of it but at the same time i want to close my eye's and when i open them be at home again. that would be so lovely. 

i think everyone's a little antsy to go back home, wherever that may be... for most it's the states, for one Japan, another New Zealand, one more to Belgium,  a couple in Holland, and a lot going back home to various villages here in Germany. For me,  lucky i live Hawaii. i miss the sunshine, but i hear its been raining non-stop over there. but still... to smell the warm air and that island breeze. i never thought i would miss it this much. so i think it's safe to say that my island fever has reduced to a cool temperature.

  i'm ready for home again.

tomorrow a couple of my friends and I are going Köln for the Christmas market! i'm pretty excited about it. i was there for an hour or so a couple weeks ago but it was kind of just a passing through type of thing. so it'll be sweet to actually spend some time there and pick out presents for my family. maybe get some coffee at Starbucks. (: that's always nice, even though it's super expensive here. it'll probably be fuh-reeezing... that's the downside. i'll have to bundle up...

rose! you'll have to be sure to go to both of the christmas markets in koln.. there's one right behind the Dom, and there's another if you walk down the main shopping street for a while [past about 3 H&Ms] :) and then turn right.. maybe somebody knows how to get there. anyway, it's got more stuff than the one by the Dom.
i love you!! and i'm beginning to miss you already, but not quite!
