Dear family, friends, and just some of you I met along the
way!
As my first
email out I would like to say… HIIIII! Some of you may already know the whole
story and others only bits and pieces! The whole story goes like this! (Let me
note that there may be many spelling and grammar issues… sorry these were never
my strong suit!) In June as most of you know I signed a contract with a family
living a small village and everything was set to go! I went on a
4-week vacation and working adventure and was not really able to contact my
family! In that time then mom was given a new job and one of the two boys was
put into a really great Kindergarten… SOOO my services were no longer needed!
After a class 5 brake down I re-upped my au pair site and set off to find
another family! Three days later I found a great family and I am with them now!
Two weeks after I found them and Skyped with them literally every night I
packed up 125 pounds of luggage and clothing Brandon (my teddy bear) and I got
on a plane for 13 hour flight to Munich Germany!
I arrived here on August 10, 2012.
We left the next day for Croatia and we were there for a week! It was seriously
so amazingly beautiful! The water so clear and great! The weather was fabulous
hot and sunny all week! Now I did not feel well the whole trip because I think
I was going through some really bad culture shock! But we did go to some places
with some really great meat!!! And I LOVE meat! Also on the trip we went out to
dinner with a couple The Husband was
totally awesome! He is completely Bavarian and totally awesome! He made me
laugh so much and gave me some very wise advice… are you ready… he told me…
“Natalie you say yes yes yes when you talk to Natalie you can not say yes! You
must always say no!!! NO NO NO boys will be out and around and you must always
say NO! Do you understand?!?!” HAHA Natalie and I laughed so hard! And then he
told me again twice! Seriously I cannot wait to see him again!
After the
week was over and I finally got to my home! I had my first week of work! The
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were a little easier because the kids had pony
camp in the morning until 3 and so I didn’t have to really work hard until
then! But in that time I cleaned the house and this is and will be my daily
task! Vacuuming cleaning the kitchen and doing some laundry! And let me say… NO
DRYER!!!! She told me that and I thought I was going to die! Then later that
day I also learned that there is no microwave in the house!!! :O I thought I might
die at the sound of that one! Then Thursday was my first whole day with the
kids and I thought it went really well!
On Friday we left the house at 6
A.M. to hop on a train to Jena and it was so beautiful there! The old
architecture seriously made me speechless!!! Natalie was there on business but
me and the children had another agenda! We walked around and it was fun! Then I
saw my first movie in German… Ice Age 4… hahah it was so funny to hear all the
voices!!! We went home on Saturday. Getting home at 9:00 P.M. we went out to
dinner to a very Bavarian restaurant. It was so late and I was so exhausted
from the past two days so I was excited to sit in a semi quite restaurant and
just eat!!!! BUT NOOOOO it was music night and when we walked in the drum line
was playing and it was so loud! Then after 20 minutes of loud drumming they
were finally done and I thought it was over… but once again I was wrong… The
first Mexicans I had seen in 2 weeks and they were playing Mariachi Band music.
Mom and I just started laughing because we were so tired and thought we
were going to relax… On Sunday I finally
saw Munich and once again I was jaw dropped it’s so beautiful we went into this
Catholic Church and it was picturesque!!!!!
Email one done! Week three started!
Adventure is out there and I am going to experience it all!
