Life as I know it

Welcome to the Hogwarts Express!

Roommates! On the way to Vadu Izea

Sirius Black was at the train station









All I eat is soup...



Grannys here are the bomb.

Pots in the tree at the bed and breakfast. So cute.








Sometimes when I get sick I lay in Aimee's lap and plug my ears.

Another creeper shot. Thank you roommates.

Matching snapbacks. Best DI purchase EVER.

Roommates

We're the annoying best friends who wear matching clothes...





Puttin on the workers boots in the hitch hikin' truck


At Eli Wiesel's house

Sometimes we have to brush our teeth in the middle of the night behind the train station...


Despite the joyous expression, I truely hate nature. This was a forced pose for yet another iMovie project of Kelsey's.


Goin home.   


I figured out my problem. Now that I feel obligated to blog, I hate doing it. I enjoyed it much more when it was a leisure activity. I want to keep you updated on what I am doing, but I don't have the internet and when I am writing every last detail in my journal it gets a little redundant. I solemnly swear I will post once a week for the rest of my duration here. I'm not promising novels though. Whether it is pictures, eloquent words that have been thought long and hard about, or a list of random events that have occurred, I will provide you with something. I love ya'll, but it's been kind of nice being cut off from the outside world. If you desperate to hear of my adventures, I'm all about Skype these days. I have a 2 hour window available for internet on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Hit me up.

So little time.

Sorry I am terrible at blogging! My apartment does not have internet, and even if it did that wouldn't help. My days follow a very full schedule. I relax by pillow talking with the roommates :)
Key points to recognize: 
1. "Sam" the little boy from the hospital who has seizures and almost died is now in my room at the orphanage!! AHHHH. I was SOOOO excited when I walked into the room and saw him there. I guess he was meant to be my little guy.
2. Our next door neighbor is Danish. Buuuuut he lived in SANDY, UTAH and just happens to be a MORMON. What the....? What are the chances that our neighbor in Romania would be a member? Not good I would assume. But the fact that he lived in Sandy really threw me for a loop. It's a small world. His name is Robin. He is cool. He came to church with us. He also came to FHE. He got baptized in 2008. He is the only member in his family. He is a dentist but going to school to be an oral surgeon. That's all on Robin...that's all I know about him haha
3. We had a branch activity at a lake/park/wilderness site, and there were topless sunbathers and men in speedos. Muuuuuuurrrrrr. I felt nice and awkward for the missionaries.
4. My kids are terrific. Just know that. I really want to talk about them all day everyday, but I can't use their names, be super specific in what we do, etc. meh. A whole lot of rules. I am in the process of composing a post about them and what orphanage life is like. It's a work in progress. Stay tuned.
