It's been a while hasn't it? This summer has flown by at around 150 mph. For those of you checking out my blog from my cards I have been handing out, welcome!! I hope you enjoy laughing with me at my life and maybe find a good recipe along the way. :) (By the way, if you don't have one of my business card-like thingys let me know if you want one!)
I have been here in America for a few weeks now, but before I illustrate this picture, let me paint the scene of a historic town called Mainz, in the middle of Germany. On the way to the US this year, we decided to stay over in Germany for a few nights. Having never been to Europe, I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I was extremely excited. I have always been fascinated with Germany and its culture, but I never was quite sure why. To describe the town we stayed in is impossible. But I can try. Close your eyes. In your mind, picture cobbled streets and quaint, softly lit houses and shops on each side of the street. Hear a fountain in the town square, listen to children playing tag around the square, and smell pretzels coming out of the stalls at fantastic rates. Open your eyes. This is Germany. It was the best trip I have ever been on.
Now, America. I have really enjoyed seeing my family and friends and hanging out with everyone. :) The southern cooking has been even more amazing than you could imagine. The green grass, huge trees, and wide, open roads are awesome. (Speaking of roads, I got my learner's permit!) Yeah, it would be fun to live here.
When I think of opening a cafe or something somewhere in the world, first I think to myself, "Can I see myself living here?" And the answer to most countries, well, all countries, is yes. I guess I'm a culture addict.
Defintion:
Culture addict- noun. the feeling or desire of a human to live in or inhabit many countries in the world. Symptoms include but are not limited to; indecision in where to attend college, longing for global citizenship, and in extreme cases, forgetting the current country of residence.
There is so much to write about and I tend to ramble so I'll finish with this. To all of my friends and family who made my trip special: It has been great and I am so blessed to have you guys. Right now, I feel called to cook, and so I'll cook. If God calls me to preach, I'll preach, and if God calls me to do anything else, I'll do it.
