riiight...about that updating more often thing...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! oh wait, it’s not november. then, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! wait, my family was here. that means that christmas is also already past. HAPPY NEW YEAR (maybe?)!!! mmm…that doesn’t sound right either. let’s see…OH!!!! i know!!! HAPPY KINGS DAY!!!! wait, we don’t celebrate that one in the states. and besides that, i think we’re already through january. holy crap! are we already in february? aaaannnddd i think my last entry was when? ooooh. ouch. in october. well now, that’s embarrassing.

uummm…(what should i say?) well, a lot has happened since i last wrote. as i mentioned before, my family was here over christmas. that was really cool. to be honest, it was more than cool. it was great to see them. it was a little short but i got to show them a lot of austria in a really short amount of time.

i don’t want to make this the never ending entry blog, because it easily could be, so I’m just going to tell you guys some highlights.

• i made a 1 (the equivalent of an “A”) in my german class.
• i had some pretty intense experiences with God
• i saw the dancing horses in vienna with my family
• i’m starting to learn some hungarian
• i’m helping others learn english (this crazy language!)
• the kids had their birthdays. (jakob is now 6 and david and raphael are 8)
• it snowed once (but it’s all gone again)

i think a lot of you guys got that e-mail that i sent out in january about my purse and the guy stefan either directly from me or you got it forwarded from my parents (because i don’t have everyone’s e-mail). i want to thank you all for your payers and support. i don’t have anything new concerning stefan because i haven’t seen him long enough to get to discuss things further. but during the month of feb. we have semester break so we’ll maybe have time to get together and delve deeper into the issues he brought up. and there’s still nothing new on my purse.

oh yeah, i also wanted to sort of give a good-ish excuse to why i haven’t written since october. so, i have continued to receive a signal for wireless from our neighbors buuut i’m not getting internet somehow. at first i was a little mad but i can’t really complain. i wasn’t paying for the internet so i shouldn’t be too upset when i no longer have access to it.

and that’s it. i’m going to end it there so that you won’t be too overwhelmed by it all.

ps- just in case i don’t get around to getting an entry up before the next holiday, HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
