Long time no type
Well, I keep saying that I need to blog, and I keep finding excuses not to. I figured that since I’ll be going to Houston in 2 weeks anyway, there’s really no point. But as I was organizing my picture folder today, I found a lot of pictures that I have not yet posted, so I figured I would do a quick post. (Although I’m not really sure how quick it will be 
) This will probably be very random, as I am just writing to the pictures, that way I can organize them when I’m done
So before we left for Phil’s parents for xmas, we had to get rid of all of the paper we had in our apt from unwrapping all of our furniture and stuff. I sat on top of the pile and had Phil take a picture:

While we were at Phil’s parent’s place, I was forced to eat a bunch of strange stuff. Basically Christmas consisted of the family getting together and stuffing themselves with as much food as possible. (And some of it was really strange) Just because the food was strange didn’t mean it sucked. Some of it was actually pretty tasty. Some of it, was just plain weird. Like this sandwich in jello type thing:

I couldn’t eat it just based on texture alone. (Bleh) It was ham, carrots, egg, and bell pepper all suspended in gelatin. Yech. I had to eat something similar at Phil’s company Christmas party, but it was more like a pudding. Kinda. Lol. But the same thing pretty much. I’ll post a pic on fb. While we were in town for xmas, we went to an Eisbrecher concert and to the Weihnachts circus. The concert was ok, but the circus was super fun. We’ll probably go back next year and take the family with us. 
We also went to the zoo while there, but I wont post a crapton of zoo pictures, because I think people are getting tired of it. (ok, maybe I’ll just post a couple of good ones ) But while we were in the jungle house FF took a ride on uncle Phil’s head, which I thought was really cute:
*update: So I apparently did post a lot of zoo pictures anyway. So sue me
Taking a ride on the tall man
Before we went to Stuttgart, and before my first German class was over. I made cookies for some of the people in my class. They were yummy, and fun to make
Cookies
Every year for Christmas each city puts up what they call the Weihnachtsmarkt. (Christmas Market) They actually set it up at the beginning of Advent and keep it up until Christmas. Dates vary by city. It was the most interesting thing to ever happen to Hannover. (lol ) They had booths up all around the city to sell random stuff. You could buy your Christmas presents for your whole family, get some good food and Glühwein (Hot wine especially for xmas), ride some carnival rides, and watch some bands doing really bad versions of Lady Gaga songs. Ha ha. It was fun, and probably my favorite thing about Hannover. This was a big booth where you could buy food and Glühwein right in the center:

I have apparently grown accustom to this weather. 75 degrees is a hot day for me I blame it on the freaking cold LONG winter we had. Hell, we’re just barely getting over it, and it’s almost Summer!!
Snow on the balcony
Knee deep in snow! Well, not really, but it was up to a foot and a half at one time. Lol, I hate snow. Even more now that I’ve properly experienced it Although now it seems I’m going to be dying once we’re in Houston. (in the dead of Summer no less)
I’m so excited about going to Houston!!! Only two more weeks, and then one amazing vacation! 
I can’t wait to see everyone and greet them the European way 
he he. I’m really looking forward to it.
Sorry this post was so random, but I kinda just did it spur of the moment. I’m trying to upload all my non-uploaded pictures to fb, and when that is finished, I can finally finish cleaning my house.
Two more weeks!!
*kisses*
xoxo
Hurray! Two more weeks!
