Germany

is where I might be going next summer! And Austria(if you talk to me and I say Vienna, I mean Austria). As some might know, every 2 years a group of German-speaking students from Valley Christian goes to Austria and Germany for about 6 weeks. My aunt, brother, and maybe uncle? have been on this trip. My brother was with the last group that went. And even though I'm home schooled, the teacher and leader of the group said I could go with them! I'm so excited! I've spent pretty much all my free time coming up with lists for it-lists of what I need, what I have, what I might have, what I can do to fundraise, etc etc. I'm pretty sure my brother is getting extremely annoyed with me-at least every other day I have about 3 new questions to ask him...and it's still over 6 months away!
I'm just so excited! I've been practicing my German and it's coming along...slowly, but coming. It seems that for me, my life has been mainly about getting ready for this trip. And I'm having a ton of fun doing it. My birthday and Christmas list? It has 2 things on it-gift cards to places that I can buy travel gear at, and anything off my 'needs for Germany' list. My sister and I have been working like crazy on making stuff for craft fairs that we will be at in November and December-there will only be 2 and although the first one is still 2 months away, we're getting ready.
The first one is the Valley Christian one-Kyra, my mom, and I will have a table. My mom will sell Pampered Chef and Kyra and I are selling a lot of stuff...dog treats, knitted hats and scarves, baby/lap quilts, handmade bracelets, and maybe even cat treats! And most of the funds will go towards Germany...depending how much we make.
I just can't wait until June!!!!!
