oh, what a beautiful morning!!!

What an amazingly perfect day after an amazingly perfect weekend! Shoot I wish all Mondays could go my way like this for the rest of my life. I started out with a great breakfast and a nice time in the morning with the few kids that were there. Then on my break I had the most fabulous morning. It was nice and warm and I decided to ride to downtown Schweinfurt. See, when I first got here, we were looking around the shops and I fell in love with a dress that was only 10 Euro. July is the sale month and therefore it would only be that price for a limited time. Now normally I am not a huge shopper and I only buy something if I really love it. I saw that dress three different times and every time it caught my eye but I never had time to try it on or even really get a good look at it. It has been the only thing I have really ever wanted since I got here and I thought it’d be a better buy since it was in a German store and not somewhere like H&M or Forever 21 that we have back home. So today I went down to go see if it was really worth it. The bike ride was really easy and even though I went down the wrong street, I found the town plaza really easily and without feeling lost or too out of place. Well the dress I liked so much was only 7 Euro and they had my size! It fit so well and was really cute! I was so happy and I even looked around a few more stores to just look around at what the stores had since I hadn’t gotten a good look before. I then also decided that since I had time, I would enjoy a real cup of coffee and a German pastries. I had this interesting pastry that was a ginger/hazelnut cake inside a biscut type crossiant and had chocolate dipped on the ends. It was pretty cool looking and my coffee was all fancy in a real mug since I ate it at the café. It was sooooo tasty and I was just extremely happy enjoying it out in the square and just having a good relaxing morning to myself. Everything was so peaceful and there were so many people having breakfast out at the plaza. I looked at a few different bakeries just too see what different breakfasts and breads they have in Germany and I saw some really cool things (I was tempted to buy so many things but thankfully I didn’t). I was such a bright and sunny warm morning and I was just in the best mood because of my purchases. I then biked back to my room and had time for a crazy intense insanity workout. I am definitely out of shape and a good 30 minutes kicked my butt. Of course, I was just in such a great mood that when I left my room I realized my room key was inside my room after the door had already shut. Normally I would get so mad, but I wasn’t even worried at all because I knew Miranda would be home before and let me in anyways. Then I had the best bbq chicken, salad, fruit, and dinner roll ever for lunch! The chicken and the bbq sauce it was served with really made it fell like a perfect summer day. Honestly, nothing could get in my way today. I let the kids attitudes during large group activity roll right off my shoulder and I enjoyed every last bit of applesauce cake I had for snack as well as all the good fruit I ate. I had a nice relaxing afternoon in the playhouse and the kids were just great.

I also didn’t even mind my weird weight watchers ravioli I had for dinner… I couldn’t tell if it was a meat or cheese filling inside and it wasn’t even that good but I didn’t even care, today is just too good of a day. Now I just have to figure out how I am going to have fast enough internet to register for classes since the internet is down at the warrior zone and life will be perfect =)
