Well it's been a while since I last posted (and guess what, a lot happend).
I'll try to tell yall everything.
We had another game. I love my team, even if I don't look forward to every single practice, but I always enjoy being with the girls and play some soccer together.
All these girls are so nice, and fun. We've a lot fun. I think joining the soccer team, and actually make the team, was a wonderful experience. They make my life so much better, and when I walk through the hallways there is always someone who yells germany and waves with a cute smile at me.
I met so many awesome people, and I already can't leave them.

 

And the next day/night went even better. Sydneys long-time-friend asked me to go with him to the football banquet.
Football banquet is an event that takes place after football season ends, and all the players are coming together for one night (Sophomore, JV and Varsity team) to eat together, give away awards and talk about the past season. And every guy can bring a date.
Well I'm still so thankful for having had the chance to experience that, because it's not just so american nor because I could meet all these football guys, just because I got to meet Sydneys friend Chase.

I've to say I freaking love this picture.

Yeah, so I met Chase. :) And btw, just for the ones who wanna know; he doesn't just play football, he plays baseball, too. I love baseball, for these who wanna know.

I don't want to be concidered as boring, but I have the feeling I don't say it enough; I love my life, and I couldn't ask for more. I don't want to change anything and I am so thankful for everyone who made this possible and is a part of this. I feel like I found what everyone was talking about, because I know that I belong here, and that I'm lucky.
And to realize that is probably the most amazing thing. I don't want yall to think that I don't have any problems or moments of doubt, but having this and remind myself to have this always brigthens my day.

Well we had a YFU orientation in january and Sydney and me went to that. It wasn't really useful for me, because the whole point is to talk about issues you have with your family, school, or anything else. And how yall most likely already know is there nothing I need help with.
My only problem is that I'm running out of time.

 

When I look back at the past month I realize I experienced so much new, and I attended my first wedding. Kaitlyns (she's a good friend) sister got married, and the Coe's were invited. What can I say? The bride looked pretty, but we left early (american drama, you know?).

Sooo, I'm finally a little known in my school. lol.
A very good football player told Heather (a friend) that my accent is cute. I was laughing, because I have never talked to this kid before. But I did now, he's nice. Our conversation was like this:
He: Hey, I'm in love with your accent.
Me: Thanks.
He: Omg, thats so hot.
Me: Well thanks. But tbh, I already knew that you like my accent.
He: How?
Me: My friend Heather told me.
He: Hanson? Oh. Well, it's cute:
Me: Thanks. You can record me, if you want to and listen to it all day long. lol.
He started laughing.
Me: I wasn't joking, why is everyone always laughing when I say something? I'm being serious.
And Vanessa (she's playing soccer) was in the back of my classroom and started laughing.

Oh and the other day I met Demetries, he's playing soccer and I sat in the field house and we were joking around. My team mates were calling me germany and he asked me why they call me germany and I told him that I'm from germany, thats why I talk so weird.
And guess what he said.
He said that he thought I'm american, and I don't talk weird. He said I'm talking like I'm from texas. Man, yall can't believe how happy I was. It made my day.

It's not like Marina and me were bored when Syd had to use the restroom, and took like 24 random pictures. Noooo. Yall think completly wrong.

Haha, I love this girl. She's so much fun to be around. We've 5th period and lunch together. And after lunch I bring her to her classroom (our little every-day-date, you know?), because it's in the same hallway.
She was one of these I hung out with from the beginning, and I'm thankful to have her, because she's AMAZING. Juuust saying, guys.

Oh and the past weekend I saw our school musical. It was pretty good, but I'm glad I wasn't in it, because you've to invest so much time I don't have. Because soccer season just started,....

Well, let's say it with my principals words: Make it a great day or not; The choice is yours!

she's all happy about it

I'm back from my cruise to Mexico/Cozumel and it was AWESOME. (Just saying)
Syd and me had so much fun and I think we got a little tanned, even if it rained all day long in Mexico. Oh well, let me start with january the 6th.
That was the date I had my first soccer game, and I was so nervous. ;D
Isn't that cute?
I was so surprised that I started off w/ my girls, that I thought I just heard wrong and Coach Jordan said Monika instead of Mara. So when the game started I went back to the bench to sit down.
And Jordan goes like: Germany, aren't you paying attention?
Me: Well yes I do, but I thought you said Monika and not Mara.
Jordan: No, I called you, too. So go out there!
Me: Where do I play?
Jordan: Left midfield.
I was a bit scared, because I like to play defense better. And Jordan saw it, so she switched me with the left defender. And I think we played a good game, even if we lost 0-1.
And btw: I love the soccer girls. They are just so funny and always in a good mood, they make my time here so much better.

The quality is very bad, because Syd forgot her awesome camera at home and so I decided to show you 2 pictures. Who ever wants to see more can click on this link and look for the number 9 ;)

On the 7th I attended my first wedding reception and saw a "real bride", like someone I know. It was awesome, and the Bride (she's really young and married my cousin) looked so pretty.
 

Our pup grows a lot, btw. Yall remember the puppy we got in (I think) november, Beau? Well he has gotten SO tall. He's almost too heavy to carry down the stairs in the morning (because he needs to pee, and when we let him walk'em down he may pees on them :/ ).
I can't believe it, even if I always say it: Time flies!
For some and sometimes that is something good, because that means all the embarrassing, sad, worse moments fly by. But the awesomly good, wonderful, and almost perfect moments are as fast (if not faster) as the worse moments.
I mean christmas time is over, that means my year is halfway over, and I didn't even do a little of all the things I wanted to do. But at the same time I experienced so much, I couldn't ever imagine.

He looks so funny, though, because his one ear is standing up. 

A whole bag of german chocolate I got over christmas time from my mom

I saw an awesome/crazy car. And most of you are about to say: That's how I always thought america is. And yall are right, but wrong at the same time.
America is like this, but america is totally different, too.
Wanna see what I'm talking about? Here we go.
A friends of us came over to show us his new truck.

Look at our truck (and our truck is a very big one) and Devans...

And the crazy thing about it is that this truck can be legally driven on a road, except for the back lights, they've to be a little bit lower. Lol.

So, Syd and me decided to take pictures with Marinas phone while she was drawing something cute for the back of my binder, because I always hated the back of my binder.
The front looked always cute, and the back was just lame. And so I cut out some stuff to put it in there and forced Marina to draw something, and Syd signed the blue tape. ;)
Oh and btw; the Lp stands for La Porte and I got the stuff from Mrs. Ipsen, to keep me busy in APUSH. :D Jk, I did it beside listening to Mrs. Waligora. ;)
-Of course

nooo, my binder isn't big. :D

 

And Mayra and me had some fun with her iPad (it's white, and I'm sooo jelly. She has the probably prettiest backpack and a freaking nice, white iPad! And her brother got her new cleats for christmas. They look SO nice, I'm about to steal them :D jk) after soccer practice.We were all sweaty, but oh well ;D.

And today I came back from the awesome 5 days cruise to Mexico. We had so much fun...I don't even know how to describe it, but it was awesome.
And most of the pictures we took are just so..stupid that yall couldn't be serious around me anymore. :D (Don't know if I know someone who is serious around me)
But they are pretty bad.
Real talk, though (How Arne would say it).
Syd and me gained a lot of insiders ;D
So here are some pictures yall can see without making fun of me for the rest of our lifes.

Well we had lots of fun, and I bet I won't forget this trip. :)
How one of my friends said:

I'm just scared to forget all this!

And I am, too. But guys, lets just don't worry about what we could forget without wanting to, and create memories we won't forget.
