I Love College Football

Today is Sunday, December the 6th (can't believe I'm going on my 6th week here! Crazy!). which means that yesterday was another College Football Saturday. Whoa. I don't think yesterday could have gone any better. WVU wins, Pittsburgh loses, Florida loses (and Tebow cries)... man, if only I was able to actually have watched them! :( The SlingBox my brother got still isn't working, so I was unable to watch any of the games. But luckily, Jill was able to keep me updated along with ESPN.com. Awesome. I seriously miss college football. On another note, nothing too exciting has happened since last week. Although I did meet up with a girl named Rachel on Wednesday night. She's originally from Seattle, and just moved here with her husband who was transferred for his job. She was really nice and easy to talk to. This morning I woke up and immediately started cleaning/re-organizing my room. I originally wasn't going to unpack everything while we were still in this house (most of you know how the actual house of Kai and Lisa is being renovated and having new flooring installed--so we've been living in a different house since I've been here). The original plan was to be back in the other house by the end of November or so--or at least by Christmas. Kai and Lisa made the decision that it would be too stressful to try and move everything back into the other house before Christmas because it will not be finished until the end of this week or so, so we are going to stay here. Sooo.. I decided to settle in a little more. Going through my things, I found a stack of postcards I have already filled out for a number of people--but my mom has yet to send me the addresses for everyone. (I've asked, ohhh about 9 times..) I got to Skype with Hadley back in Morgantown on Friday for about an hour and its always really nice talking to people from home--although I got mad jealous when she said she was going to be going to Back Door happy hour with a bunch of people later that day ;) This week I plan on going into Bonn at some point to do some shopping at the "Weihnachtsmarkt" aka 'Christmas Market'. Theres something for sure I want to get Travis and Lisa back home there. I don't really know what to buy as presents for Lisa and Johanna here. Kai I already know. The other night at dinner we were talking about games we like to play and some how got on the topic of Risk. I told him how my brother and I used to play Lord of the Rings edition Risk while watching the movies (I know, we're SUPER cool). His eyes got big and he was like "What?! This does not exist in Germany!" and he was really excited about it, so I am going to try and find it online. Either that, or Lord of the Rings monopoly. I guess he really loves to play Monopoly--and he's a giant Lord of the Rings fan--so I figure it would be perfect. I'll most likely have to buy it through the US though, which is a hassle, but oh well. Alright, sorry this post wasn't that exciting. I'm gonna get back to re-arranging my room. Hopefully my next post will be more entertaining than this one. Go Bengals--beat the Lions today!!!! (Like thats even hard? Pretty sure Worthington Kilbourne could beat them at this point; KFR) Love and Miss you all every second! xoxo Meg
