Hot Air Balloons!

I have always wanted to see and ride some hot air balloons! Every year, in our area of Germany, they have a Firework Festival. Its a competition to see which country wins the title of best fireworks-judged by Disney. This year was Greece, China and the U.S. We went to China night. I really wanted to go because I read that they would have hot air balloons. They were magical! They are also expensive to ride in soooo we didn't do that but I know what I want for my birthday this year. The fireworks were the best I'd seen. Choreographed to music. Spectacular!

This week I start bowling with the German liga(league). I'm pretty excited. My bowling ball has been drilled and I've started throwing fingertips. I liked it. I thought I was going to struggle but its perfect. Now to practice because I may have to compete with the German women's team. Sigh.

And sorry for the lack of blogging! I quit my job at Aafes to start a new job at a bank. I love it so far. I'm full time this month and I'll be ready for part time hours in September. It is such a relaxing environment and I love the ladies I work with, and my boss is pretty great too.

Dev went back to college this week. I can't believe its been one year since we dropped her off. We've almost been here for a year! Crazy.
Fall was starting but a heat wave has come in. 90 degree temps this week and Germany doesn't have air conditioning. Sigh. It's hot!

Last but certainly not least...Project 12 for July! That's right. I have made it 7 months. Pretty dang proud of myself and I love looking at my album. PS-love the American Crafts glitter paper. It rocks.
