Germany quick blog...

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!!!
