I know, I know, I haven’t blogged in a few weeks. Once I started my language courses, I literally didn’t have time to post. If you are a facebook friend, then you were graced with pictures, and I hope that was enough!

Well, anyways, my visa issues require me to be back in the states. That time frame means my family needs a new au pair so I decided to look into finding a family. Although several wonderful families are great options, I’m really holding out for one, but that means not returning to Germany.

I will provide a nice long blog after my trip this weekend. I plan to explore the Castle in Heidelberg on Saturday and go shopping, visit every museum (the museums, in most of France actually, offer free entry on the first Sunday of every month) I could possibly fit into my schedule and squeeze in a picnic in one of the many gardens.

I am looking forward to being home, even a short while, because I do miss everyone, but I really wish I didn’t have to return. The German government, when that particular visa application wouldn’t go through, pretty much said I needed to have my return ticket to get my passport back. So, rather than not be able to travel about, I needed to leave right away so I can come back sooner.

That’s all for now, but more will come.
