Good Day Sunshine!

I wish I could play you the very song I am listening to today, but it seems a little to complicated and its a good day and I don't want to burden myself with this unneeded task. Ha Ha Today is a lovely sunny day and I am so thankful! The last couple of days have been so gray and dreary and put me in a non lovely mood but today the sun has decided to shine and help me out. The song in my head is from one of my favorite bands "The Beatles". They are classic to me and will always remind me of my childhood and mostly my mom. She loves The Beatles and kindly passed her love of them down to her children. The song is "Good Day Sunshine!" is off of Revolver, I remember the first time I heard this song I felt it summed up a perfect day.

Yesterday I wrote a really long post but decided to delete it and I am glad I did. It was depressing and very sad. It would have only depressed you and made you feel sad for me. I am glad I did not post it, because today with the bright sun shinning onto my keyboard I can give you the same stories but without the Charlie brown feel.

I did have a hard past week, it has gotten cold and you really don't understand the phrase "No central heating" till you experience it. The cold seemed to get to me, and made me not want to do what I am come here to do. Thankfully God stood by me and even though there were times my attitude was sour God still used me. How awesome is he?

Tomorrow will start the beginning of non stop action for me. This past month I have been doing a lot of sitting, watching, and observing but now its time to do. I don't know if I am ready or not, but it's time. Tomorrow I am heading to tirana, then from there we will head to Turkey as a team. Woo hoo I am so excited about this trip I just cant get it out of my head. When I get back from Turkey I will start working at kindergarten 15 minutes away. One lady I will be working with knows very little English but no one else. So It will probably be really hard and first but everyone says it will help me learn quickly, I am praying this is true. But I am excited to help. I will work there everyday till 2. Then January 16 we are taking a family trip to Germany! Elke is German and goes back home twice a year, I was quite excited when she asked me I wanted to join them. I could not believe it how awesome? We are going to a leadership conference while were there at European Nazarene College. I don't believe I slept that well last night thinking about this awesome opportunity.

So before I know it will be February. Crazy. It is strange to think of not being at home for the holidays. Thanksgiving does not feel that strange but I am already feeling the loss of not being home for Christmas. But I am thankful for having a warm welcoming family here who has said that will have a wonderful Christmas. I know that is true, and im so thankful for that.

well I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving. I might have time to update before but I don't know.

"HAPPY THANKSGIVING BACK"

I understand about the depressio post, sometimes I feel like the only time my posts are interesting is when I'm depressed. Mostly because when I am happy, I don't feel like sitting around and writing about it, I feel like going out and having fun! But I am glad you waited, and now you have a sunny day! I love you!

Long time comin'

Let me start you out with a few facts: * I finally called my parents on saturday. It had been 13 days since we last talked. * It has been 19 days since my last post. * 3 months since I moved into my new apartment . Today I have finally posted the pictures. Ok. Yeah so life has been jam packed as of late. I have many exscuses, but I am just going to say dont be sad that I havent been on the internet. Because friends it has been a good thing. I needed to just live HERE for a while. With no distractions of home or other thoughts in my mind. I needed time, to focus on life here. I had gotten back into a rut again. I for some reason forgot why I was here. I was unhappy for no reason. Thankfully I gave it to God, and he my friends yanked me out. He reminded me once again why I am here, and now has really given me the passion I have been looking for here. You do not know how different my days are when I get up in the morning now. I actually want to get up. I am so thankful, because for so lon...

Soon and very soon....

This coming sunday will be a month since I have been in Krakow. I love how at the end of my last post I wrote how updates would come soon. I guess in my time, that means a month. Ha, sorry for waiting so long on telling you what has been happening here. I guess I tend to get so wrapped up in things, I forgot theres another world out there (outside of Yonkers...) Anyways, me and my roommate Katie (who is pretty much amazin' by the way) have gotten our apartment all set up, learned exactly how to get to ikea by tram and a couple buses, and we have learned where to find really really good cupcakes. But on the serious side of things the coffee shop is coming along, and everyday something is happening. Almost all of the plumbing & construction is done, there is just still lots of small things that tend to add up. Today we FINALLY got our really nice espresso machine all hooked up so now we can make the world's best cup of coffee. At least we shall try. Through connections fr...

What a year and 3 months can do...

In the past 3 weeks the shop has tripled with buisness. It has been unbelievable, exciting, and to be honest VERY tiring.  But it has been amazing to see people filling the shop at all hours of the day. All different kinds of people: Business men and women in need of a shot of espresso to get them through the day.  Tourists that heard from their tour guide that we have the best cheesecake in town :) Students cramming for their final exams, chugging down cappuccino after cappuccino. Families that were out for an evening walk, that our in desperate need of a nice cold fresh orange juice. This is what we are to our community. We are the morning wake up call, the home away from home, and always the place to come and relax.  Last night we had a "New Summer Menu Party" and we also celebrated the shop being open for a year. Actually it's been open a year and 3 months, but it just took us a little while to get the party together :) It was a gre...
