catching up with lindsey
you are not immune
you are not immune
An old friend from High School (Tommers!) wrote on my facebook a couple weeks ago saying that he had just been in Trier for dinner, had no idea that I was studying here, and that he was studying in a small village in Luxembourg. So of course I hopped on the train early friday morning and 45 minutes later we met up in Lux City. He had never really been there, since he was in a village outside it, so we explored together! We wandered around trying to find the Gründ, which was the one place I’d heard I needed to go to. Lux City was an old fortress town with walls and everything, but after all the wars and medieval times they started building all around the walls and in the valley, which is now the Gründ. The town is really cute and pretty, and we played on a playground and tried to stay in the shade since it was probably 85 without a cloud in the sky. Tommers remembered where a chocolate shop was so of course we had to go, and we tried all the little chocolates under the glass and they would start to melt the second you picked them up.
A globe’s distance from Dallas to Germany
is much shorter than you are from me
so fold half the map
and use just one tack
and together as pins we can be.
But pins can’t show love enough for me,
and I’m still stuck on this side of the sea
So hop on your boat
I’ll pray that it floats
and together again soon we will be.
From this picture till now I have not ceased looking up to everything you do. I don’t know how I got so lucky, and I hope someday I can make you as proud of me as I am of you. Love you pops

My Dad came in town this past weekend! It was so nice to have a face from home, as well as someone to show all these things I’ve come to fall in love with! He’s still on his cane from some knee surgery so I tried to keep the walking to a minimum, which actually wasn’t so hard since Trier is so tiny!
I thought of this when I was in the shower this morning. thoughts..?
and yesterday was my roommate Claudia’s birthday and we had brunch together in a really cute cafe around 2ish 😀 She’s such a sweet person—it was sad because everyone was out of town and her boyfriend couldn’t get off work back in her hometown, but in a positive light it’s always nice to get to hang out with her one on one because she’s so quiet. She’s also so patient with my German speaking skills and teaches me so much! How did I get so lucky with my roommates?? Danke schön Jesus
