sesselbahn~

dearest friends, 

if you happen to live in Germany, you need to go to the sesselbahn. it's in boppard. and for any of you that do not live in Germany, come. visit. do what you want. and if you do, have us take you to the sesselbahn. it's a chair lift and it is amazing. you get to the top and eat a cafe with an amazing view of the Rhein river and boppard. enough talk, here's the pictures. 

lil bro~

i miss this little boy so much. he's so cute and is 5 years old. and he is my little brother, spencer. 

(all of these pictures were from the airport  so we could fly to California!) 

sadly, I had to say bye to this cutie patootie but I am so glad to come back and say hola to this little boy again. he has gotten so big, and I can't believe he's already five. 

~I love you spencer shayde pethel~

strasbourg church~

i am currently in a church that's is really pretty. it is in strasbourg, france. same old same old. haha anyways here are some pictures i am currently taking. the craftsmanship was so intricate and articulate. it was seriously beautiful. 

 

goal!~

so, after we went swimming, I got news that there was a soccer game. a women's soccer game. the US Women's Soccer Team. and let me tell you, they are my favorite! I was so excited that we were going to be able to go!

ok you might be wondering who these people are? well if you look closely the girl in the middle of the picture is Abby Wambach. 

in the left is again Abby Wambach then in the middle kind of is Alex Morgan. they are my freaking idols and they are awesome 

OK. I bet you're thinking this was a waste. But it was worth it trust me. You learn something new every day. and if you already new this, a job well done. 

there's my little spiel :) 

christine~

this is post about my best friend. i try not to brag, but this is something I just have to brag so much about (ok, don't hate me). 

this girl is seriously amazing. she's the best thing that's ever been mine (hehe, little swiftie info. btw I say that because she is a swiftie.) okay, this is where it's gonna get sentimental. when I moved to Germany, I was scared. I tried not to be, but I seriously was. I moved in the fifth grade, a little after my stepdad and mom got married. he works for the army, just in case you folks were wondering why I was here. but anyways, back to christine, when i got here, i also didn't know anyone. anyone. so when I met her, she was so cool. she had short hair and if I remember correctly she was wearing a blue striped shirt? she was the popular kid. but because she was nice, not the mean stereo type. i had to be her friend.

so what does a girl like me do? sit in the back and wait for her to notice me. haha, no I talked to her. and we became better and better friends since. I couldn't ask for any better friends and no one could EVER replace her. I love you christine and will always be there ♡♡

for your pleasure, here are SOME of the many bajillion I have of us:

max and ollie~

let me just explain what this is all about. first and foremost, i live in Germany, so i miss my family. ALOT. so this blog post is all about my family that i miss. sorry it might be long. it's all about my whole fam damily. 

this picture is about max, my cousin. he is one of the oldest besides me and my twin Xoe. in the summer (or winter?) we went to Disneyland where it was my first time going to cars land. and let me tell you if you don't already know. I am a big kid at heart. BIIIG. so much that word had to have three I's. 

I love all my cousins dearly, and I am so glad to have them. this time we got to spend Disneyland with max and Ollie though. but I wish we could've had all of our cousins. 

max is two years younger than us. he is taller than me (don't judge, i am pretty short) and he's seriously so awesome. he's smart and to me, I'll admit, is pretty cute :) but, hey! he's my cousin, I can saw whatever I want. and you are not friend with him, you're seriously missing out. SERIOUSLY.  so watch your backs arovista because you miss with him, you mess with me. 

this is like one of my favorite pictures of us at Disneyland. it goes from L to R Ollie, Xoe, Max, and Me. 

oh my gosh, Ollie. where do I start? he is hilarious and the best too. he is social and cool and again, arovista, watch. yo. self.

I am so glad to have these people and all my other cousins and family I have. I am seriously blessed and greatful to have such wonderful people around.
