Hi Everyone.

I'm sorry I don't update this often but I am a busy college girl. I am so eager to finish college, I need a break, not a long one but just a couple months. School and work can just be so stressful, especially now that all my classes are my major classes, no more general education (yay but not yay..) Nothing is easy anymore, I miss high school just little bit.

I can't tell you guys how much I love my parents, they really are my best friends. I can come to them for anything. They are so supportive and trust in me with everything I do. I love that they worry about me, especially my mom. My mom is the most amazing women I have ever met, she really is.. She's exactly who I want to be when I grow up. She's so strong. I love how she takes care of me, even when she's so far away from me. In january I hurt my neck so bad and its still causing me terrible pain (until recently, I just saw an acupuncturist). Shes been helping me through this. Its really got me so down but my mom promises me that it will get better and she always tries to find ways to make feel better. She really is the best mom anyone can ask for.

And as for the rest of my family, I love them just as much. My family is great. I feel sorry for families that aren't as close the way our family is. I love you all so much.

Anyway, I have one more month of school and then I go back home, I really excited to see everyone and to turn 21!!

I need to update this more often

Hello Everyone,

I'm really sorry I never go on this but I promise I will try to update more often, let me start with my trip to Europe this summer. The program that allowed me to have this amazing summer was called Camp Adventure and what you do is work with kids (you pick the age group) who's parents (one or both) are deployed. You pick your top five countries you want to go to and they try their best to send you there. I originally wanted to go to England but got sent to Germany, I didn't care as long as it was Europe!! My dream is to go to England though and I will go back to Europe very soon (: So the town I lived in was called Bamberg, it's about two hours north of Munich. I absolutely fell in love with it, I can't believe I lived there! Those three months were the best.

I want to let you know that this trip was not a vacation! don't be fooled by my tourist pictures! I worked 40 hours a week! But man did I love my job. I was in tears when I had to leave my kids.

I really really miss my kids!!

In Germany

The most beautiful place I have ever seen, I feel like I'm in the middle of a movie. Germany is so breathtaking, the people are nice, everyone rides there bikes here, they don't even lock them. Everything closes early and the city is just empty after 7pm. Also everything closes at noon for lunch time and no one is ever in a hurry, it's so crazy and new, I love it

Waiting for my adventure to begin

I leave for Germany in 28 days, I can't believe it's almost here! I'm so excited and scared at the same time. I'm going to have the time of my life. I arrive in Germany May 25h to August 22nd and then I come home for about a week and fly to England on September 3rd and come back December 19th. I am a very very lucky person to have this kind of opportunity and I'm going to take advantage of being in Europe and going to do as much as I possibly can. I also love my mom for supporting me and helping me out<3

But on another note, I've gained a couple of pounds since I've been home. When I was back in Chico I lost 14 pounds. So I need to get back on it!

I miss you Chico

So I'm back home and it's alright.. it kind of sucks though because I don't really have friends down here anymore because we hardly talked after I left to college. In the end it will be worth coming back for six months. I find out what country I'm going in the summer on February 7th. I'm really really excited and can't wait to spend three amazing months in Europe!

School starts again on the 26th and I'm kind of glad, I don't feel very productive without it.

Hello rainy days!
