As soon as I flew back in town, I tried my best to catch up on sleep and emotions for the first day or two. In the midst of my insanity, I cut a foot off my hair (I still have a hard time believing it's gone!), and then left to visit Mom's side of the family in Illinois just a couple days after that. We had the best visit, and I think it was just the time for me to get away, but now it's time to get back to reality...in 3 days! Until then, I have a few things to catch you all up on our last weeks in Germany.
First up...the beer fest in Erlangen. In even more usual fashion, I can't remember at all what the fest is actually called, but for this blog's sake, we will just refer to it as "the beer fest." A whole bunch of us decided to take the train from Bamberg about 20 minutes down the road to Erlangen our second to last weekend together. Needless to say, it was a party! The fest was so much bigger than I thought it'd be. I swear it reminded me of a big, German Dollywood. They had all kinds of fest food and rides and live music and TONS of people all dressed up drinking some good German bier.
Check out some of my pics (when I had hairrrrr!):
I just love this man more than you could ever imagine.
Most of the group!
Sweet friends. With an even sweeter pretzel.
Sarah wanted one too!
Precious baby Isa & her momma, Liz :)
Just a FRACTION of the fest!
After losing Jason for an hour at one point and both our phones dying, we ended up heading home a lot earlier than some of our brave friends who literally stayed until the end! We took the train home with Mike & Nora, ordered Chinese in (yum! such a treat!) and called it a night. Our last couple weeks together were filled with nothing but fun and love and not taking even one single minute for granted. Mission accomplished!
