Volksmarch

So I had a wonderful weekend last week (not this past one...I was at work and loved it) when a few of my fellow nurses invited me to go to a Volksmarch. This is something Germans like to do on Sat or Sun. There are the 5k, 10k and 20k. They each are followed by a small town festival with the usual fair. Well the one I went to on Saturday was followed by a bus ride and a wine festival. I had soooo much fun and bought a bottle of wine that is now sitting in my car for me to drink some day.
It was an all day thing and I had so much fun. The extra wonderful part was that the weather we nice and it was a truly beautiful day!! Here are some pictures!









Then on to the wine festival. We were on the Mosel though I can't recall the town.









Had a wonderful time and look forward to doing it again. Oh and another bit of news. Just this last Thursday I found a house. I will be getting the keys come Friday so I am hoping to get those up over the next week.

Love ya and will keep you updated!

Nine to Five...well kinda


So this past weekend I did start to work...kinda. Orientation is always a fun process especially when you are learning new computer system. I did pretty good and had a nice preceptor Cpt Dennis aka Bob who showed me around the place which was very nice of him. I did manage to take a few pictures, no really good ones but just a few to show that no matter where you are a nurse you still have to clean sh*t up!!!




Thought y'all would get a kick outta that!!


Any way!!


Weather has been pretty good, defiantly fall here but as I was house/apartment hunting I took these pictures of the country side. Oh and BTW no home for this girl yet. Please keep me in your prayers that I find a home. So far housing is pretty "tight" and I have not found anything I would let a pig live in....*shakes head*. My spirits are up and life is getting pretty good, gonna get a car this week so that will be WONDERFUL!!!

So here are some pretty pictures to look at.






Well I love y'all and hope to talk to each and everyone one of you soon!!!!
