Danica turns 23

Today is Danica's Birthday. This is the first year in 23 years that we are apart on her birthday. It feels really weird and sad. When I talked to Danica this morning she said it didn't feel the same either. At least she is around family.

Haven't talked about her since she left for Germany September 8. Her main focus for going was to learn the language and immerse in the culture. So Danica is over there living with my mom. My two sisters and brother live near by. The following Monday she got there she accepted a job immediately teaching English. Unfortunately she only gets about 15 to 20 hours per week. We will see if she has enough money to last. I hope so for her. At least she is living with my mom and doesn't have to per for house and food. So far we have talked almost every weekend via skype.

She is coming home for Christmas for 2 weeks. Right now she plans on staying until next summer. We all just miss her so much, its really hard but its all good for her to venture out on her own.


Last weekend. Danica at a club posing with some random girls.


September 8. The day Danica left for Germany.
This picture below really cracks me up. We were trying to adjust the camera to take a picture of us in the car. We both had our tongues sticking out and didn't even know it, lol. I always tease her for sticking out her tongue yet I do exactly the same.

Sometimes it still doesn't feel right having a birthday or holiday without my parents. Looks like she's having a great time though!

Have loved catching up with your blog, as you can see from the time between my posts, I haven't been on blogs much myself. Miss seeing your kiddos and catching up. So happy for Danica, and the kids...oh my word! GROWING! :)
