not much going on this past week...

well i feel like i need to update even tho there isnt anything that has really happened... the past week or so has been slow because sophie was fighting a fever, not sure what it was from but im guessing she is teething,  with a little runny nose. We have been keeping her inside which means i have been inside. But before she was sick  johannes and sophie and i have just spent our weekends at the park and walking around the city. Johannes was working from home last week and now he is in ingolstadt (spelling?) His job has him all over germany and he loves it!!!! And this weekend we are planning to go to the christmas market which is downtown so i will take plenty of pictures. Then for christmas we will be going to switzerland to spend it with johannes family and i am very excited to experience their traditions, but mostly im excited for johannes he hasnt had christmas with his family in like 8 years or longer, hopefully we can go to austria during december sometime and see if we run into krampus... look it up, its fing scary... but the story behind it is that he is the creature that comes and takes away the bad children, you know instead of getting coal in there stocking they get taken away by this freaking creepy monster, anyways johannes has told me stories about how when he was younger he would go hunting them and throw rocks at them. Its really men (most of them drunk) that walk around the city dressed up as krampus and they wear bells with chains and whips and chase after people, whip them (not hard) sounds scary but i really want to go and see what its all about.

 krampus!!!!!!!

  1. Hey girl! I am so happy that you added me on facebook. I cant believe you guys live in Germany! That is so amazing. We have talked about moving there a couple times for Chads job. But I never thought I could do it, but seeing how you are doing it, makes me want to try lol. Your daughter is gorgeous and looks just like you. Sounds like you guys are doing amazing. We need to keep in touch.
