Good Memories!

It's 4am, and I just got off the phone with Willemijn for the second time today. I felt inspired to write down some of my best/funniest memories from the past year in Eindhoven with some of my closest friends today.

*walking in the pouring rain with Willemijn one night...determined to get our pre-scheduled exercise in!

*requiring Willemijn's assistance in getting my beyonce jeans on for the first time ever!! :)

*teaching the "Hippopotamus" song at a girls' youth weekend, and falling down from laughing so hard at their enthusiastic participation

*teaching the church a song (251!) one Wednesday night, and regretting it every time they sang it after that (haha...Bozena knows what I'm talking about!)

*taking a 3 hour walk with Nadine in the mountains of Gemunden, capturing a picture at every turn in the road!

*Nita incorporating the hand signals from the "Mexican train" game into "Get Right Church"

*Paul stating one Sunday morning that he was going to pray in Dutch...then proceeding to pray in English

*stopping a random guy at a restaurant to tell him that he had beautiful eyes...embarassing Willemijn in the process

*constantly asking Willemijn/Nadine/Sheritha "Do you smell that...someone smells good!!?"

*spending hours thinking of/preparing my first vegetarian dinner for Willemijn...then retardly offering her chicken soup to start off the meal!

*receiving a phone call almost daily from Sheritha, asking me if I was watching a certain channel on the TV...and telling me which one I should turn to

*attempting to get to Willemijn's house for the first time, and taking the wrong bus, which put me out of the way for more than an hour

*Nadine attempting to help me out by saying "x-rated" when Hayo tried to kiss me one night!

*trying to decide between "cute-guy" Chinese place and "cheap" Chinese place on Wednesdays with Willemijn

*meeting Arnol...the guy in the wheelchair in the center...for the first time!

Okay....I think that's enough for now. These things just make me smile when I think about the past year. There are SOOOOOO many more.....it's unbelievable. Especially more with Bozena (who I hope is reading this, as well!) and random people (guy in the center who thought Willemijn and Nadine were Americans, while I was Dutch!). :)

If there's anything that is NOT on this list...that makes you smile when you think about it...let me know!
