Ohhhh HERRO!

I'm so close to saying HERRO AMERICA, I can literally taste it. Today is Sunday, which means we can start looking at my countdown in terms of hours instead of days. And that is some freaking exciting news. As of right now (which is noon on Sunday the 3rd) I have 71 hours until my flight departs from Düsseldorf headed for the US. Amazing. I am so excited to see everyone that I don't even know what to do with myself. But, I feel like I have a lot to do before I can be ready to leave, and I'll be heading for the airport before I know it. I need to do some major laundry and I pray that the washer and dryer have already been hooked up from the move. Then I have to go through my few boxes and find what crap I plan on taking home with my etc. And then not to mention go to the bank and also buy the beers I plan on taking home for my mom and Bob. It doesn't sound like toooo much, but in reality I have 2 days (and not even full days, basically 2 evenings) to do it all. But it will keep me busy which will make the time go by faster I am sure. And at this point I don't even know what to do with myself!!!!!! EEEK!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be Stateside on WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!! Amazing.

In other news, today is Bertus' last day in Bonn until around Christmas or so. He moves back to Mainz for the next 3 months and that's depressing. I'm already planning on going down there to visit him a few times if all works out. Hopefully for my birthday weekend also (although I don't want to talk about my upcoming birthday because then it reminds me of being an old POS). But hopefully it won't be too awful while he is away. Naemi and I are also planning to book out 'blind' trip to Eastern Europe when I come back. I'm pretty excited for that also because A, I feel like I haven't seen/talked to her in FOREVER and B, Eastern Europe is so cool to me. Really excited. I'll obviously post about it when it all gets booked and let you know where I'll be heading off to! JuHu!

I'm at Bertus' as we speak actually and need to go figure out the train situation for getting back to the tiny ass town Kuchenheim in a little bit. I spent the weekend here, since it is both my last weekend in Germany for 2 weeks and Bertus' last weekend in Bonn--and not to mention that there is nothing to do in the new town I live in, so coming to Bonn and staying for the weekends I have is something that I will be doing pretty regularly now. But with that said, I need to go and set into motion all the things I need to do before I can leave. EEK! EXCITEMENT!!!!!! xoxoxox
