World Cup FEVER!!!!





I am never watching the world cup in the states again... It would just be too disappointing compared to being here! I can't even describe to you the feeling. The intensity. The INSANITY!!! I love every moment of it! I think I have watched more soccer games (I have to try really hard to say soccer now instead of football) during this world cup than I have my entire life! I am not even kidding you.... :) But since I can't really explain to you all of it... I will just put up videos from the games and pictures. Enjoy football in Europe!!!

Yeah... that is me. That is where I watched a couple games :)


The above video is just the crowds at a game... it was INSANE!!!


This is the view from my ledge. You can't see the huge crowd in there.. but it is insane! Everytime there is a score.. You get covered in beer cause people start waving their arms :)












GO DEUTSCHLAND!!!

2 year anniversary!


July 5, 2008 is a day I will never forget. To the rest of the world it was just another day. For me, it was a life altering day. This was the day that I got sealed to my family in the temple. I know a lot of you know what that means, but I also know some of you don’t. It is hard for me to explain exactly what that is, but I am going to try.

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I believe in it with my whole heart and soul. There is nothing that could make me happier and I have seen the difference it makes in my life and the lives of others. In my church we believe that there is life after death. That there is more.

In the temple there are certain ordinances performed that last longer than this life. Things that death can’t touch or effect. When I went to the temple with my family to the temple, I was sealed to them. In simple terms it means I will be connected to my family forever. Not just until death, but for all eternity.

There are times when I am here in Germany that I really miss my family. Ok, I honestly miss them a lot. They are my favorite people ever and I love being around them. The thought that no matter what happens to us in this life, that I will have them… That makes it ok. I may miss out on seeing them for a year, but knowing that I get them forever makes it better. Puts it all in perspective.

So on this anniversary of the day that I got sealed to my family, I just want to tell everyone how happy I am! How happy this all makes me. I love my family so much and I love that I never really have to say goodbye to them thanks to my Lord. I know he really does love me and cares so much for me. I hope you all have an amazing day. May you be as happy as I am today!!!
