Hello.....

So like I said in my last post, I've been taking in easy. Been catching up on work and i am a little stressed out at the moment. I have only 2 months of work left!!!!! The time is ticking down and I still have a lot to do. Plus, I still need to keep my head out of the office and make the most of the time I have left. But that's not really that hard. Friends coming to visit, parties, parents visiting again and going to Swizterland for a few days. Plus, starting in July I have oodles of free time to do some traveling and say goodbye. Right now, just living from day to day, and really having a very normal life. It's fantastic....It doesn't feel anything like vacation, traveling, wierd, new, etc. to be here. It's normal and sometimes boring. I know that sounds strange, but the boredom to me is great...it's proof that I have successfully acclimated myself to live here in Germany. I've made a home here and feel like I have accomplished everything that I wanted to do here in Germany and more! It's hard to rate experiences in one's life, but this has been possibly the best of my life and most important.

I guess right now it's a good time to start transitioning back into "coming home mode." I know I've covered this stuff already, but it's very hard to keep a blind eye to the fact that the end is rapidly approaching. Plus, pragmatically, I have to start really planing and looking at what exactly to do next. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am getting really excited to seeing everyone I love back in the US...friends, fam and those in between. And to the friends here, I won't be gone forever and I won't be out of reach. This isn't the last time I'll be in Germany and I have made a strong committment to continue a life and relationship with Germany and Europe. My base will always be the US, but I won't be confined to its borders - physical, mental, or otherwise.

Sorry, I hope this doesn't sound condescending or preachy. And if you have any jealous tendencies, do not look at the set of photos, "Pics12"!!!!!! I repeat, don't look at them. For everyone else, be sure to check out both Pics11 and 12.....they are both new and up!!!!

Talk to you soon
