Back To School!!

So this week we started back at the wonderful institution at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville. My first week back was really good. I have nice professors and my class schedule seems pretty good. Thursday was our first home game and the Golden Eagles pulled in a win for us. So all in all its been a good week. But this is just the beginning so who knows whats in store.

It is the fourth installment of my new favorite book series by Stephenie Meyer called " The Twilight Series" . They are wonderful. There is even a movie coming out in December on the first book! I will let everyone know how wonderful it is when I finish which will hopefully be by the end of the weekend lol.

Surprise Surprise!!!

Well as most of you know I am back in the USA. I arrived back in Nashville on the 24th (my birthday), after I was stuck in Philadelphia for a whole day. So for anyone planning to fly let me not reccommend USAirways. They suck. When I got home no one knew that I was coming back except for my mom, sister, brother, and my Aunt Wendy ( kirby let it slip) so it was a complet surprise to everyone else when I popped out. I missed Connor sooo much. He just loved on me and hugged me when he saw me. It was so precious. The birthday party was so much fun. I hid in my mom's bedroom until everyone arrived and then I waited till everyone was in the kitchen singing "happy birthday" and right up until they said "Happy Birthday dear Ramsey..." I popped out and said "And ME!". It took everyone a while to figure out that it was really me. Hunter's face was priceless. I loved getting to see my family again but it also made me miss my European families too. I miss you guys and love you and I will call soon. Lucy Happy (early) Birthday.

4 Days of Nijmegen!

Ok so here in Holland there is a huge event every year called "4 Days of Nijmegen". Its where people walk 30,40, and 50 kilometers four days in a row! Its absolutely amazing how strong these people are. So every night in Nijmegen and Cuijk, Anneloes's town, held different events this past week. Tuesday night Anneloes and I went to here friend Linda's for supper in Nijmegen and then walked downtown to watch the fireworks. If you think we know how to party back home you are so sadly mistaken. There are rides, booths, and all sorts of things to do. Its madness but in the best way possible. Wednesday night Guus, Anneloes's brother, and I went to Marianne's house to cook supper for some of the walkers. Her husband Jon was also walking and has been walking in this event for several years now. He and Anneloes's dad are very good friends. It was alot of fun cooking and eatin with the walkers. Afterwards I met up with lucy and we met some of her friends and headed downtown. We went to the Matrix in the park which was pretty much a big concert of house music. Although its not what I'm used too it was very exciting. Thursday night me, lucy, and jeroen made pizzas and then walked downtown to Cuijk because they build a bridge across the river for the walkers to cross and spectators are allowed to test it before they set it up for good on Friday. We listened to an orchestra play which was good and would have been better if it had not rained. Sadly the rain continued for today but we got up anyway and went to see more of the walkers head through Cuijk before they headed back to Nijmegen. We met up with some of jeroen's family who was walking in the event. Oh and I even saw some U.S. soldiers walking but i was too far away to yell for them. I am so glad I was here to get to experience this event because i thought it was truly fascinating. Lots of Love
