Garmisch and Salzburg

Hi we had a great time away in Garmisch, we went sledding and were blessed to find an AWESOME sledding hill. I am pretty sure we were the only American's there (didn't hear any other people speaking English!), we laughed a ton and just had a blast sledding down the big hill and climbing (or should I say hiking?? LOL) back up it! As you know all good sledding hills are a killer to go back up and it hurt!). Emma LOVED sledding! The boys loved it, Chad and I loved it! We also enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the resort and just having family time!

Salzburg is/was beautiful! I'll get all the pictures uploaded and will get them added on here eventually. We don't have too many more days left with Chad, he heads back on Monday, so we're making the most out of our time with him. Once he's gone I'll be back to writing more and actually reading blogs.

Thank you for all the well wishes, excitement for our family being reunited (even though temoporary) and prayers. We appreciate ALL of it!!!! I'm trying not to think about Monday, sometimes denial can be good! :) :)

Tomorrow we're going to go and buy me my SLR camera!!! I'm getting a Canon Rebel digital SXI 12.2 mgp. I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with it. I wish there was a photography class I could take here, but since there isn't I'll be heading over and reading more of MckMama's suggestions. I will need to buy a good editing program, but one thing at a time!

Oh and we bought a van. It's used, but we are saving and plan to buy a new minivan completely with cash (no payments!!) so we're saving and hopefully by the end of 2010 we'll have enough saved up for me to get my Honda Odyssey! :) For now it's just a used, but in good condition Chrysler Caravan. I'm truly thankful for it, we were so crowded in the little bmw, seriously don't be impressed...BMW's are not that special here in Germany...they're on the same level as Fords and Chevy's in the states...a good, sound car...but not special over all! :) It's still kind of fun to say we own one, although before we move to the states we'll sell it..it's just a little beater of a car that gets from point A to point B.

I will write more later!

God Bless
