Or no Hockey???

So I went to this bazaar last Saturday and it was just awkward. First the girl I wanted to meet didn't show up. She did write me a text earlier, but I didn't get it because I've got a new number... :/ Also the people that were there we're everything else than nice and helpful. I asked for Nina. And the hobby-team, but nobody even attempt to help me :( I was pissed! I put like all my hopes in that hobby team...
On Wednesday I will meet Nina. Hope she can tell me something more and I may have the chance to play hockey. But I don't wanna get to excited about it. I don't wanna be disappointed again...

Yesterday Thomas and I went to a church with really nice ppl. I think we'll go on Wednesday to their smallgroup and to the service next Sunday. I am hoping for some friends there and also a church that might be ours...

Today was my first day of school. It was kinda cool and I am so happy to be back to school. I am so happy about not sitting at home all day anymore... I am excited!! I can't wait for English Class :D

Pancakes :)

Today Thomas' and I got us a little bit of America to Germany. In one store they sold 'American Food' - Stuff last week. So we bought this pancakes mix and Salty Microwave Popcorn ♥. Today we made our pancakes :) They actually tasted like pancakes :D Haha, I didn't think so before. It was yummy :) Here're some pictures...

Hockey

Hi guys. I told you that the Hockey girls team that's playing here is WAY to good for me. A couple of days I wrote an email to this goalie girl I talked to before. I told her that I still was fighting myself whether I should join and play with them, even though I feel sooo bad next to them and I asked her if there's any other team close to my home that I might be able to join. So now I found out there's like a beginners- hobby- group and I really hope they are on my level and I can play with them for the start. I mean, I haven't played in half a year so it might take me a while to really get into it again. I am really excited. Tomorrow is a icehockey- bazaar at the rink and I will meet Nina (the girl I talked to). She'll try to get me some contacts to those hobby guys and I will try to get a new stick. Waaah. I can't wait for tomorrow :)

On Monday school'll start for me. I'm kinda excited. I really hope I'll find some friends there!! And school doesn't piss me off right away ;) We'll see how it goes.

Miss you guys and America!!♥

Driving Thomas' car

I don't think I told anyone of you that I don't like Thomas' car :D I am used to big cars. Like when I first had my license I drove my parents car which was like even a little bigger than just a regular van. I loved it. I would sit higher than anyone else on the street. I had a great view of the situation and I knew how long, how big the car was. I never had any trouble figuring out how much space I had on either side of the car. Then in the US I had "my" Jeep. I loved it! Same here. I sat higher than in any regular car. I had a big car. I knew where the car ended. I didn't have any problems EVER figuring out how close I am to the other cars or the sidewalk. Now I am driving Thomas' car. A small one. I am sitting low. I have no good view at the street and the situation. I do not know how long or how big the car is. I do not know how close I am to the sidewalk. I do not know how close I am to the cars that are facing me. I hate it! So I didn't drive a lot at first and I noticed that every time I wanted to drive I would be nervous at first. And I hated myself for that. So now I try to drive as often as I can and it gets better :) I hope that I feel really comfortable in that car very soon!

Oh, and as most of you read on facebook: I cut my hair. I went to the cutter only once in my life and it was really bad. I hated the outcome. Usually my mom would cut my hair. But now that I am not living with her anymore I guess I have to start doing it myself :D I cut my hair twice in the past and I am really confident about my new hair cut. I like it! :D So here's a picture.

Babysitting

Life is GOOD :)

So I was on this page called www.haushelden.de and I tried to find a family in which I could babysit once in a while. There was one family on there, pretty close to where I live with a girl named Leonie (9 yrs old) that needed a babysitter. So I wrote my application and today I had my "job interview" there. The mom and her girl are really nice, Leonie has a bunny which she presented to me proudly. They also have a cat, but that is nothing I need to care about as their babysitter ;) Anyways it went really well and I will meet them again tomorrow. Tomorrow the mom plans to leave Leonie and me alone for a while so we can get to know each other better and see how it goes. I have a really good feeling about that family and I am looking forward to work for them. So yes. Life is good :D

Friends/Disco

I love my friends. Just wanted to say that :)

So, last week Julia was here for a couple of days and it was really great to hang out after not seeing each other for so long. We had a lot of fun and talking was really good!

Then yesterday Thomas and I went shopping. I got myself two new jeans and Thomas bought some really cool Nike T-Shirts. At night we went to a local disco and had a lot of fun dancing together. There was this thing "Sensation Bunt(colorful)". So everyone was supposed to come in RGB colors and they even had a DJ on the men restrooms. Ha! That was cool! There was more party than on the regular floors :D It was great.

Oh and I almost forgot: Thomas is the sweetest guy on earth ;) We had breakfast in bed on Saturday. I love him!!
We had such a great weekend together. It was like the best weekend since I am back in Germany.

I'm excited.

It has been a long time since my last post. Sorry.

My last weeks were good. Thomas and I had a lot of guests, which was great! I enjoyed having my little brother (he's 17) here for 3 days. We went to a place where you climb in trees and stuff. That was a lot of fun! One day we went to the pool. That was the first time for me, since I am back in Germany. I wanna go again! Then my mom and little sister (10) came one day and we visited a park which was kinda like a little zoo. That was cool, too! When my mom and my brother drove back home, my sister stayed here. That was a fun time, too. We played UNO, baked a cake, went to the theater, watched another DVD, cooked and enjoyed some sister-time :)
On Saturday it was my big brother's birthday and we had a BBQ with a couple of friends and family.

Tomorrow my friend Julia is going to come visit us for a couple of days! I am really excited since I haven't seen her in 1 1/2 years. I was in the USA and she was in New Zealand and Australia. She did "work and travel" there for quite some time and went to the Hillsong church in Sydney, Australia. I am excited to talk to her about our last experiences, look at some pictures and just being together! I am really looking forward to our days together!

I've been trying to find a job that fits me best. In the last couple of weeks I was looking for a babysitter-job. I might be able to babysit in a family with one 9-year-old girl maybe twice a month. I will hopefully meet and get to know them really soon. I really hope I get that job! And maybe one or two other babysitting jobs.

I miss America a lot. I miss playing hockey a lot. I go to the gym a couple of days a week, but it's just nothing compared to checking someone into the boards, chasing the puck and playing in a team together .
I also miss Vale. I miss a church that you like going to, that you have friends in, that you can learn something for your daily life at and that you can support with your own personal strengths.
And I miss my friends.
And I miss my hostfamily. It was definitely the perfect family for me and I am so glad I could spend my year with them. Thanks!
