Sorry about the long wait

sorry about the no capitals, the keyboards here are way different and it's driving me insane to keep looking at the keyboard to find the buttons i want so just deal with the lowercase ok? lol it's kali again. WE ARE WORKING ON PICTURES!!!! sorry, that was worth the extra work to type all caps. we will be putting pictures on asap. ok, never mind. I will use capitals now. I give up, it's driving me nuts.

SUNDAY: We went to church with Quinn today. It was fun. We were the only girls who showed up for young womens so we went to relief society because they couldn't really teach us the lesson. Another girl showed up in time for sunday school. (Did we mention that church is in a different order, YW or YM, sunday school, sacrament meeting.) The teacher is really cool. He even translated some of the lesson and had us read out of an English B of M to the class. And we answered questions and it was just cool. Then for Sacrament Meeting we had translation again. It was a fast and testimony meeting and it was really cool. Kaelei and I wanted to go up but there just wasn't time. There was always someone bearing their testimony and by the time we figured out we just had to go up there and sit it was too late. That kind of sucked but oh well. After church we went back to Anna's house. We hung out untill around six and then we had a barbeque with another family. It was nice. We went to bed early that night, but we were still exhausted by morning.

MONDAY: Like I said, we were exhausted. It made school especially difficult because we didn't understand what was going on so we just weren't enjoying it as much as we would have been had we gotten more sleep the night before. oh well. After school we had lunch at Anna's house. It was yummy! We had spaghetti. After lunch we went to this cool little lake thingy that is famous for the eels it houses. Kinda creepy, right? We went around in a peddle-boat and had a blast. Kaelei, being the bright young blonde she is forgot about the sunglasses she was wearing and bent over the side of the boat and dropped her sunglasses into the murky depths. "oh well!" she said brightly, "they were only 3 euros and now the eels will enjoy them instead!" We laughed at her and continued our ride. We really will have rock hard legs when we get back! After an hour we went and got ice cream, which I must say was very yummy, so of course, being the klutz I am, I dropped my ice cream cone and the ducks got to enjoy it instead of me. Stupid ducks. It was a long car ride, and we honestly tried to stay awake, we really did, but we slept like the whole way there and back. There's just something about the car that just puts us to sleep instantly...we're going to be like Ken when we get home, asleep before the car reaches the end of the driveway! So when we finally reached home after our long nap, we had dinner and watched A Walk to Remember. Kaelei and I bawled our eyes out (of course) and Anna and her family laughed at us and teased us about it. Then Kali rode her bike home with Anna's dad and Kaelei and Anna stayed up into the wee hours of the morning sharing all their girly secrets without me. *sniff sniff* But that's ok. Because I stayed up just as late talking to my family on the phone. So HAH!

TODAY: Kaelei came over at about 7:30 a.m. and fell back to sleep until 9 then got ready. And Kali stayed in bed, not quite sleeping until like 10 a.m. Then she got ready and read the book A Walk to Remember while Kaelei and and Quinn studiously did their homework. Kaelei is FINALLY done with her Fitness for Life class and Quinn is still working on her math. Kaelei called her family today. We were planning on going to the zoo, but obviously the weather had a different plan becuase it is still raining. It's about 5:15 and we have swim practice at 7:30 and we don't know if we can go due to bad weather. Cross your fingers. Well, Kaelei is sick of waiting for me lol while I type cuz she wants to watch a movie. So do I. Miss you, love you, post comments, we are working on the pictures,
Love, Kali and Kaelei

Kaelei;
Sooo! Now that you have been in Germany for awhile and have had plenty of time to check out ALL Germany has to offer, I’m wondering. “What’s the consensus? Who has the cutest guys? Germany or the good ole USA?” I know from previous statements on your blog you girls have done your share of scrutinizing. Just remember, though --- You can look at all the guys you want, but like your wise old dad says, “Don’t bring any home!” You don’t want to witness your Gma packin’ a rifle full of buckshot hot on the heels of some bloke from Deutschland. Can you just see the visual? Love ya too much to let any guy steal ya away! Gma Wardle
