Roommate Revisited

We are so thrilled to have just had the chance to host my roommate/coworker from my time in Dresden! Amy visited this past weekend and we had a great time relaxing and catching up from the two and a half years we've been apart. So much has changed but yet there are so many great memories to reflect back on and laugh about. Memories like eating at the Cuban restaurant, walking through the Waldpark, encountering our landlord in his underwear (numerous times), remembering the view from our apartment, awesome self-portrait photo angles, hiking in the nearby "Saxony Swiss" area, and the like.

Looking through my old blog entries I wonder if Amy remembers our first and only attempt at flying a kite? Or the crazy atomic clock that went berserk for awhile there? Aaah and the time I pretty much made her pee her pants. Not to forget when she didn't ride across the tram tracks at a sharp enough angle (on her bike) and got her tire stuck! I think that time I almost peed my pants! Good times.

Our most notable thing we accomplished this weekend (note: we may or may not have pretty much lounged around the rest of the time) was applying 50+ vinyl ladybugs to the newly painted room-to-be-Caitlin's-bedroom. They look pretty snazzy! Unfortunately I haven't snapped a picture of it yet and it's too dark to get one right now. I hope to also get some pics of the other rooms of our house (something I've been meaning to do for awhile...) so I'll do that all soon and post them. Ooh the suspense!

Anyway, go to Amy's blog for awesome photos of the weekend--I pretty much slacked in the picture-taking department and have none to speak of myself. Hers are totally worth checking out though, she has some mad skills! Caitlin loved having an on-command-book-reader around too, not to mention that we noticed she can really bust a move when more than just crazy Mama "dances" around to Papa's German Club techno mixes. Amy is such an inspiration, even to the toddlers of the world! I think Amy has a new BFF for life.

Love you Amy, thanks for coming!

Wow, I checked out Amy's blog, and she has excellent photography skills! The ones of Kaitlyn in her blue hat are my favorites. Looks like you guys had a fun weekend!

Oops, I mean C-a-i-t-l-i-n! Sorry. My niece is Caitlyn, and my friend is Kaitlyn. Oh dear.

Totally forgot about our crazy atomic clock! And in my defense, those tram tracks are hard to cross on a bike sometimes!!! I saw others do the same thing, too!!!:) I really had a blast with you guys and I wish it could have lasted longer! I miss reading books with Caitlin already!! And my coworkers didn't really appreciate my new techno I played on Monday...hehehe. At least some of us understand the fun of techno!! Love you guys!!!
