Long time no chat!

This blog has been a long time coming, I know I haven't updated everyone in a while so here it goes. First and foremost, thanks to Grandma Parcell and Besty for the letters and coupons, I appreciate it. Next, we have been busy getting the house in order, everything is "unpacked" but that doesn't mean it has a home yet, waiting on a rubbermaid closet kit from the states because our closet pole fell down after I put it into the wall. I am almost positive it isn't the weight it is the installer! That is why Chris needs to make it here soon to hang everything up! I have everything in front of each of the walls where I want it hung but I am basically scared to hang it because I have had a 50% success rate so far. I know this is going to sound ridiculous but the things I miss the most from the states is WAL MART and KOHLS, they both ship here but still not the same, I have to wait over a month to get what I want. We have everything we need for the house for the most part, still trying to get little things here and there, the big things we have left to get are two beds, and nightstands, and potentially a futon (this item isn't dire). I figure that will allow for plenty of room when we have guests over. Germany is VERY strict on drinking and driving and pretty much everyone obeys that here, so a lot of people have at least 1 guest room for friends when they come over. Still studying my heart out for the NCLEX, slowing down though because I feel my brain cannot handle much more, some fellow nursing students say I am overstudying, so I am trying to make myself stop studying so much without feeling guilty, overstudying has always been bad for me in the past, the more information you know the more over anylazing that you do. Worked at the Landstuhl Fischer house again today, I wish Germans would figure out what a fitted sheet is. I know when you grow up using a flat sheet as a fitted sheet it probably isn't hard to pull them tight so there are not any wrinkles in it and do basically reverse hospital corners, but it seems impossible for Dyllon and I, it takes us a good 20 mins to do just that part on the bed making I swear. Other than that all went good today, missed Inga :( She was off. You really haven't missed much I am pretty sure I covered everything in this letter, but if you think of any questions let me know. Oh and note to everyone, just a reminder that sending it to our APO address is like sending it to NY, so it doesn't cost you a arm and a leg it costs the same as sending it to NY, so to save you money, don't send it to our house. It is ultimately your choice obviously, I just want everyone to be aware of the bascially 50% cost difference. Lastly, we are spending Easter with our neighbors, I can not say enough how truly blessed we are to have such great people living near us when we are so far from home. Somehow (I am sure my computer virus) someone got a hold of my credit card number and was doing fradualent charges and they let me use thier phone to take care of it, we still do not have a landline or internet because I gues Vodaphone is seeing if they can provide service out here and I guess that takes 3 months to do, you would think you either can or cannot but whatever, we find out Monday what is going on there. Once we get this we will be able to call back to the states :) I can not express to you though just how amazing our neighbors are, God has truly blessed us! I have never had neighbors like them before, but they truly are like family to me already. Well I love you all, have a great Easter we will miss all of you very much! XOXOXOXO Kristen
