Hello, hello!
This could be the best day ever for me. I am not sure why but I woke up in an extremely good mood today. Not sure why because I was a huge grouch when I went to bed :)
This week has gone by soo fast for me. Not sure how it is already Friday. This week Shawna and I stirred up some trouble on the base. On Wednesday we went to a boot camp class, where I completely died and she made everyone look pathetic. That night she came over for dinner and we acted like little girls the whole night and just sat around giggling. Josh called and I told him that we were going to have one of his Swisher Sweets...he said no, but we did anyway :). Somehow we looked at the clock around 11:30 and couldn't believe it. It was a blast and both of us agreed we hadn't had that much fun since being in Germany.
The next day I couldn't move from the stupid boot camp class and luckily Shawna called and got me off the couch to go on a walk. I couldn't believe this but found out that it is INSANELY cheap to fly here. She had bought a ticket for some of her girls earlier in the day to fly to Spain for 10 Euros (at the most that would be $15). We decided that we were going to fly to Morocco, Africa one of these weekends that she has a four day. She was told it was one of the most beautiful places in the world and it only costs 50 Euro. Also, in two weekends she has to go to Belgium for work...so asked if I could come with. All I can say is the Lord does amazing things and she was put in my life at the perfect time!
Talked to Josh this week. He had a little more fun at the training then I think he thought he would. I am sure he can tell you all more but he was pretty excited because he got to see this robotic (pretty sure I just made up a word) device that finds IUDs. They also did some shooting, so I think he had a pretty good time. He didn't get nights off like he thought he would but last night when I called him he was bowling. Said he bowled a turkey but still ended up with a 126. Haha, only Josh could pull something like that off.
I was suppose to drive to Frankfurt Airport today to pick up an X-girlfriend of one of the officers (he wanted to see her before deploying) but turns out her flight got delayed and she won't be coming in till tomorrow AM. So no driving on the autobahn for me today :).
Tonight, Shawna and I want to take the guys to Coyote Ugly. It's a bar just like the movies and does fire and dancing on the bars. I hope the guys go for it :). We are having the superbowl party at our apartment but it doesn't play here till midnight on Sunday, so it is going to be one late night. I have to find a fun appetizer to make so if anyone has suggestions, please send them my way. On Saturday, Josh says we are dressing up and he is taking me out...he said he wanted to splurge before leaving :).
Well I hope that you all have a great weekend. Also, I hope that you guys don't get too bored with my postings. Sometimes I try to read them over and I can't get through it all.
Miss you all, love you more!
Truly,
Gretchen and Josh
Hey Grr & Josh! I hope you have an amazing weekend together! I have a really easy recipe for you if you are still looking for ideas for the superbowl...here it is:
ReplyDelete-Take a wheel of Brie (the round cheese)
-Cut it in half the long way & spread a mix of orange marmalade & diced jalepeno peppers over one slice and then put the other slice back on top (you can actually put whatever you want in the middle...the marmelade & peppers are what I have tried)
-Bake on a pan until the Brie cheese is melted
-Serve as a spread for french bread, crackers, or whatever
Love ya and have a great weekend!!
