It's that time of year

Thanksgiving, a time of year we slow down(due to the extra food consumption) and think about what makes our lives worth living(as we are slightly forced) therefore here is a nice list of what I am thankful for this year(sorry no pictures this time):

-My giant wardrobe-enabling me to pack now and still have clothes to wear the next three weeks-clothes that I will just get rid of at the end though

-my pink christmas tree-because we all need a little christmas cheer

-my piggy bank-18.50 in change? thank you!

-tithing blessings....that will hopefully come from paying my tithing

-My grandma-without her I wouldn't be able to pay for my plan ticket

-my phone-its just a simple way to keep in touch, keep track of my appointments and wake myself up

-books...Ill always be a bookworm

-movies

-my roommates :)

-my family :D

-having a washer and dryer in my room

-food! I'm actually really hungry right now

-that I bought new suitcases for this summer

-that I was a nerd in high school and therefore have a MASSIVE backpack to pass off as a personal item

-that I get to move to Germany

-having a job

-and much much more!

And because we can't have too much selflessness in one blog

My Christmas list!(mostly for my family all of whom read this)

-cash...I'm moving people! but if you really would like to get me something refer to the list below-do not stray from the list because if you do there is a 99.9% chance I will thank you for it place it in a box and never look at it again.

I want to get back to

HERE. Note the total relaxation, just soaking up some sun not worrying about papers or packing or midterms or fitting it all in. This was a time that I wasn't worried about boys or school or friends...I was thinking about sleeping the feel of grass on my arms...not about this picture being taken.

Now everything is so jumbled Im so busy-just want some time to relax without feeling guilty

The one with a messy room

Halloween last weekend. Friday night my house had a party I dressed up as waldo and then later a bunny and went to AlpineVillage for another party which was fun until a fight broke out and I got head butted leaving me a bruise under my eye. The next night actual halloween I was a bee and we went to a block party that had a haunted house-it was ok. I had to work both nights and wore my tutu on saturday when I got to go home at one but got paid till six...good night. um so monday a friend from Vienna got to Provo and we hung out just walking around and then we went to the mall yesterday morning...I think I walked like ten miles in two days lol. Yesterday I had no classes but was really busy. After I went to the mall this girl cut and dyed my hair for her interview at a salon...so it was free :) after all that it was like 20 and I still had homework to do.

I mean could you go through all of that getting ready throwing stuff around to help others get ready going places and still have a clean room??? you could? well youre obviously not in college

nanny diary:entry 1

Ok so in two months I will be leaving utah on my way to maryland on my way to Stuttgart Deutschland. As many of you know Ive been trying to move to Germany since I was old enough to think about it and many probably don't know Ive been thinking about being an aupair for about a year and about a month or so ago I just decided to do it. I found a host family using greataupairs.com which is a great site if you want to do this sort of thing, the school used to have families that they worked with but they are now all grown up! So my family aren't members but there is a ward in the city they live in and I should have most Sundays to do as I please. The Family has 2 kids Erk about 2 1/2 and Lara about a week! They live in downtown Stuttgart. Ill live with the family and take care of the kids and do some light housework. They still have a cleaning lady so none of the cleaning will be super intensive. The mom is Turkish and the dad is German so they speak a lot of languages in their house. They want me to speak english with Erk but they will speak German with me so I can improve my language skills. Ill also take a language course while I am there in the evenings. ok so the rest of the "diaries" will be on hold until january but this is whats new with me. If you have any questions comments or concerns leave them here

Lately

So I've been looking at my friends pictures and their blog posts and everything and all I have to say is I MISS VIENNA

Classes are going ok Im crazy busy all the time but still manage to find time to watch how I met your mother glee and office every week as well as project runway with my friends. I work friday saturday and monday nights this does a number on my sleep schedule. Life here isn't really too exciting so nothing much to say, right now just trying to survive and get ready to leave.

Im noticing its hard to spell some words in english now...the letters just don't come to my head

also boys are weird....

love
Annie K.
