hey everyone
well im back from germany! it was a great vacation. granted robbie and i didnt get to really relax at all while we were there. there was to much to see and do. unfort for robbie alot of it was reputious from last year when he went with kiki and torey. and had to see it all over again with me. we did go to a few places that he hadnt seen yet. i got to eat food that you cant get over here! drink tons of gluviene, foot long hotdog, marshmellow things, and german french fries! it was awsome. we walked everywhere in each city. which was alot. i did loose some weight and now trying to keep it off. we saw castles, doms, and big cathedrals. pictures nor videos can protray what i saw!
robbies family:
we arrived at franfurt airport on the 11th and was greated by his father. after robbie greated his dad he introduced me to him. i being a polite woman extended my hand and said "nice to meet you mr. holl." which he told me to call him walter. :) wow! we then headed to his house in ortenburg. which is 404yrs old! wow! however it doesnt have any centeral heating or air conditioning. which was fine. we had our own pot belly stove in our room. which petra (robbies stepmom) kept going all day and our room was nice and warm at night when we got home. after being greated we walked around his dads town then came back and took a nap. after all you dont get sleep on a plane and it was along travel night. ive discovered over that week that robbies father was really funny and very sarcastic. which was great for me since im the same way. i did manage to get the man to turn a deep red at one point :). we did have a relaxful day one day while there with his father and step mom. we spent the day with them. these people walk for fun! seriously. and their dogs are well trained to be off leash and will stay with them. nothing like chase.
well it was a 6hr train ride from his dads to his aunts. and we switched trains 5times. something we wont be able to do if we go back and IF we have kids.
landsburg:
we arrived the following tuesday in landsburg where robbies aunt, which is walters sister, lives. we were greeted right off the train by grutron! she was so happy to see robbie and said he looked like he was happy and glowing. then she was just excited to see me. i have been emailing her for the past three months after all! his uncle wasnt due home for two more days so she took it upon her self to show us around to the surrounding towns. we got to see the new baby felix. and meet some of robbies other cousins! when his uncle arrived home a few days later the party started. i was introduced to german beer and wine!!!! yeppie! his uncle spent the day with us one day and the rest they were nice enough to take us and pick us up from trainstations so we could go to the major cities. it was a great time.
at either house there was so much to do and see that i cant type everything! robbie and i are having a picture and video party at both houses in january. where we can show and tell stories about what we saw!
to anwer the dieing question....no ring. he didnt propose which i kind of knew that wasnt going to happen over there. robbie was worried about trying to get the ring there, not loosing it or it getting stolen, and making sure i didnt find it. at one part i thought he was going to. we were in nuremburg and he said he wanted to take me somewhere special. which when he said that realized that what was going through my brain was that he was going to take me to propose. which then of course he clearfied that he wasnt. its ok. everyone is saying its going to happen. we shall see. the option of a ring and us getting married was discussed over there with both families. (robbies dad and aunt dont get along). both sides seem to have liked me and aprove if we decided to get married. i was told im welcomed back again. which is great!
so with that christmas was nice. we spent christmas eve at the apartment. which is when we returned to the states. and some of christmas morning there too. then head to baltimore. which i was excited about since that ment i could see chase! and we basically chilled all weekend to get ove the jet lag. which im still suffering somewhat with. this coming wednesday night is our one year anniversery! as many of you know robbie and i met on match.com and started talking a week and half before he left for germany last year. and continued to talk while he was there. he came to the states a few days before new years eve and that was the first day avaible to meet. so we went on a baltimore harbor cruise that night and rang in the new year! and a part of me that night knew that i was going to be with robbie for a while. :) again we shall see what the future holds.
well i have to go unpack and then repack. yeppie! lol if you want to see pictures they will be on snapfish i just need your email address to give you access. and i will be hosting the movie and picture night.
HAVE A WONDERFUL SAFE NEW YEAR!!!

germany bound
hey everyone!
well its two days before i leave for germany!!!! my mom and chase and i got the christmas tree this past saturday. i decorated all day yesterday (minus the tree which mom will do the weekend before i come home), chase got his anual christmas bath (something he hated), and im all packed and ready!!!! my lugage weighs abound 40pds which is good bc im allowed up to 50! so now all we have to do is wait till wednesday at 3:00pm for kiki to take us to the airport. i hate dullas however. i always get pulled to the side in security to be checked. never in bwi! grrrr so this will be intresting.
pray for me and robbie and us having a safe wonderful trip. ive had nightmares of getting seperated from him and them yelling at me in german. and not being able to let me find robbie or his dad. so yea. should be interesting. and to put eveyones excitment down...robbie will not be proposing in germany. hes to scared of loosing the ring, hiding it from me, and getting it past security. so we shall see what he has planned thats more romantic then germany. i have to admitt im dispointed. esp when so many people believed he was going to do it then and i kind of got my hopes up. but oh well. he has till jan 1, 2010 to propose. and he knows that i wont wait past two years. ive done the 5yr thing. and i refuse to do it again. i think 2yrs is good enough to get to know a person. but then again alot of friends of mine got engaged before one year. so who knows. two people have said they dont think he will ever. so we shall see.
anywho! see you all when i get back! give me some time after we get back to get pictures posted!
love you!

is there any good thing about work???
NOPE!
good evening everyone
well i do have some thing to be thankful for. my mom, chase, and robbie. my friends are very special to me and im very very thankful for them! however i be even more thankful this year if some other office would hire me!!!!!!
so today i was at work. minding my own business....when wanda comes up to me asking to speak to me. so i follow her back to her cubical (not an office!) and ask her whats up. an patient complained about my body oder! wtf! and it getts better. it came from an india patient! now if you dont know about that race they stink! its the food they eat and they don believe in bathing very often! ok granted i didnt take a shower the past two days. however i didnt do anything this past weekend but sit around at jens house. on my ass! how dare someone say that. so i said ok. im the kind of girl who has a small bottle of loation and body spray in my purse. so i gave myself a little squirt. which then of course set off lois' "ashma". so then she of course complained! so i will be taking a shower every night. which of course will dry out my skin and hair. and i dont know what ill do about my uniform. we have 100% cotton shirts for work. which we only got three apiece. so if you wear one shirt twice a week the cotton soaks up the sweat and everything and keeps it in. so it doesnt 100% come out of the fabric. hence why i hate 100% cotton!!! germany cant come soon enough!
as many of you know victoria secrets is my favorite store! i only wear their underwear and love their clothes! i have robbie hooked on getting me stuff from there at times. but that might be coming to a stop. on black friday i bought a pj set and a robe for germany. well the robe didnt fit and i know i shouldnt have bought it bc i dont really have the money. so today i took the robe back (that being 15.00 more expensive then the pjs). well they started the transaction to return it and then told me that the robe wasnt on that reciet. that the pjs were and a bra. ummm no. i bought a robe and pjs. and the girl said no i bought a bra and pjs. then she went on to say "well do you think its possible that you accidently picked up the robe and walked out with out paying for it?" WTF!!!! ARE F*N KIDDING ME! so i asked for a manager. the girl explained to her that the robe wasnt on the reciet. the manager then went and asked me the same question! i said no its not possible bc one: theres no sensor on the robe! two the girl who rang me up had a mess on her counter and could she had possibly rang up the wrong thing! it was black friday after all! then they wanted to know where the gift bag was. i was like its at home! well according to the reciet says that "the gift may be requested to be returned if the transaction goes under $60.00" MAY be the word there! ok you can have to bag back i told the manager however its full of dog hair and the products in the bag are used. they finally said to keep the bag and the refunded my robe that i stole but it was really a bra. (according to them). so for right now i will no longer be buying anything from there. so if anyone has another nice store like vs that they like and as good please let me know. ive given my coupons away. which i was going to use to buy another yoga pants but that wont be happening. i do have a survey to do on the phone which i will be doing tonight.
let me just say that i cant wait to go to germany in 8 days. esp since robbie arent seeing eachother till the day we leave. yesterday was the last day we saw eachother. so it will be so exciting on the 10th! thats what im thankful for! being able to take a once in alife time trip!
