Last post from the US!

Hey everyone!


This is, I'm sure, my last post from America. I'm sitting on my bed with my dog curled up next to me (Shh! Don't tell Tess that Maggie is on my bed).


I am a little bit nervous still, but at this point I am so excited to be heading off. I'm looking forward to getting my own rooms over there, meeting new people, learning German, eating good food, and having some great stories to share with yall.


My mom and I called Guenther yesterday and he offered to send me home at Christmas so I will be back then. I did not think I would be so I am so thrilled that I will be back. This news made me repack my suitcases (which are overflowing).


I had a great last week here - the going away party with family and friends, going to a soccer (or football game if you prefer), the "Last Supper". It was good times with family and friends. It was a good sendoff. Of course, I cried like crazy, but given that this is me that was expected.


Well I am going to sign off now. Take care!

All my love as you travel over there! I hope you fall in love with Germany as deeply as I fell in love with France!

Hope you made it safely. Sorry I didn't get a chance to see you before you left. When you find out the dates of your Dec visit let me know so I can work something out. That's just a bad time of year for me to get off work.
I know you will embrace this journey in your life like all the others. Have fun!!!
You may even find your knight in shining armor. A german beau???
Love you
Jan
