Ja oder nine?


How could I forget! Azra is leaving tomorrow!!! I didn't mention it in my other post but I've been thinking of her and our family allll day! Azra has been an exchange student for the past year living with my parents in Berthoud. She has been going to BHS and she and Lucy have been SUCH great friends... basically sisters. I know it's going to be very difficult to say bye but i'm sure we'll see her soon! Maybe Lucy will even be able to venture over to Europe and visit her!

When she first came to our house, she and Lucy came to my apartment in Fort Collins and we made s'mores over the stove! hahaha... then we went into old town for a bit... then they stayed the night and in the morning we went to see CSU's campus... I had a great time with the two of them! All year we've been quoting Azra... she's hilarious!! The only thing i've ever known how to say in German is "yes or no" and so I ask her that all the time haha.... i'm not totally sure how to spell it out in German- maybe "ja oder nine"? It sounds like "ya odor nine"...

Even though I haven't been around Azra as much as my family, i'll definitely miss her and hope we get to see her again very soon! Sending love to Lucy, Azra, and the rest of my fam as they send her off on her journey home!

... Out with the old.... in with the new!

Sooo... I'm getting tired of being on facebook so much... which i know is partly my fault haha but I decided to switch to a blog so i'm not always signing on to FB and then getting distracted for who knows how long haha...

It's been so crazy here recently! Last week I got a couple beach days which was great! I had a typical work weekend this weekend... except Sunday night I had off because they were so slow, so Tania (my boss) called me and said I could have the night off! haha which was great because AC and Nana ended up coming for the night!

Last Monday I ate it (totally flat on the ground) running and got a big ugly scrape on my chin... there was only a small part that broke the skin but it was swollen and bruised and really gross looking. So all of last week I had band aides on my chin and was trying to get it to heal... haha... talk about humbling. Today was the first day i went without any band aides because it's basically all healed. There's still a bit of a swollen area so i'm going to have my uncle look at it when he comes this weekend for the 4th...

I had to get the brakes on the truck fixed so it's in the shop and hopefully i'll pick it up tmrw or thursday... it'll be nice knowing the brakes work haha

My internship is good... sorta slow but i'm trying to make the most of it... So when i'm there and dont have anything to do, i'll go through books and catalogs in her library to get familiar with carpet manufacturers, fabric names, furniture dealers, etc... I'm also starting to organize her materials library which will be a big task but it'll be good to, again, get familiar with different fabrics and companies and such. I think i've mentioned it before but Maria is a very fun lady... she's very perky and we get along great!

As I mentioned, i'll be doing my posts at this blog now... I will still get on facebook every once in a while but hopefully this will help me from getting on too much ;)
