Today was my first day in Germany. The first flight was long (11 hours) and boring. There was not much to do, but I did get to sit beside a nice guy. ALSO it was the emergency exit so LOTS of leg room. The second flight was only 45 minutes, which went by soooo fast compared to the first flight. My first host family, The Boll's. Were waiting for me when I had my bags and was exiting the Hamburg Airport. It was great. Lotta was holding a Canadian flag while Reiner and Heike were holding a sign that said Welcome Emily. As well Olaf was there giving a wonderful welcome greeting and taking pictures! It was an amazing thing to see. 

I am surprised I have not fallen asleep yet. The time difference was noticeable when I should of been asleep and wasn't, and now just because of my body's clock I am wide awake and it is 7pm. 

The first thing I got to eat in Germany was ice cream. I had a stomach ache though and couldn't finish it. IT WAS SOOOO DELICIOUS. The airplane food ruined my stomach though. 

I have toured a bit of Bad Oldesloe and I am unpacked into my new bedroom. 

I didn't get a picture of cedric on the plane because there were no empty seats to put him in, and between the frankfurt flight and the hamburg flight there was only an hour. So there was no time to even go to the bathroom. OHHH speaking of bathroom, the first plane that I was on had 5 bathroom stalls downstairs. DOWNSTAIRS!!!! crazy! I know. 

I will be posting pictures later, but for now I am starting to get a bit tired.  Sweet Dreams everyone! =)

Today was my last day at home. I am excited and sad all at the same time. I spent all day with my boyfriend Devin. It was fabulous! We hiked, did some road clearing, attempted to drive on water, and had a wonderful dinner. Not only is he cute, but he also treats a girl right. Thanks Devin. 

Even though Devin may be amazing, Cedric is still my main man.. and he had a lot to say about not sharing todays adventures with him  =/

Tomorrow I am off to Vancouver. I will see both sides of my family and I head out Sunday afternoon....off too reclose my suitcase  =)

So the countdown is on! Only 3 days left until I am on my plane flight to Germany! My bags are all packed and Cedric has got his passport out and ready. 

Hi everyone! Cedric and I started learning our German a while back and have gotten through a few books. We are working hard, but I have to say I don't think either of us had it in mind that German is so dang complicated. I tried having a converstaion with Cedric, but as it seems... he likes to keep his mouth shut. Currently we are packing. Cedric has his bag acked and ready to go, but his bag is always ready to go. Cedric loves an adventure! My bag is getting there. It is almost full, but thaknfully almost everything is in it! =)
