I really have a good set up. From what I've heard from others, they often are putting up with loud, smelly, dirty, inconsiderate roommates. I have lots of peace and quiet and live in a very cute and clean European Wohnerin (apartment).

Home sweet home!

I have a room in a woman's apartment who has been housing Goethe students for the past ten years. She is very nice and speaks perfect English but tells me we must try to only speak German together so I can practice. However, if I have a question about something I don't know how to say, I can ask in English. This suits me just fine!

Life is good! :-)

Goethe Institut "backyard"

A good place for rest, relaxation, studying and playing volleyball!

On a clear day!

Even more cheesy, fake dialogue:

Katie: Oh my goodness, Shannon. I don't know if I can eat all this!
Shannon: Don't worry, Katie. I'll help you! That's why it's "Tea for Two!"
Katie: You're so smart!

I love tea!

Millason: Shannon, I'm so happy now that Eric and I are engaged! Will you get us something tea related for our wedding?
Shannon: Of course, chica! How could I not!?

Can't wait for tea!

Cheesy half-real, half-fake tea conversation (you gotta love it!)

Meredith: I ordered Earl Grey Creme!
Shannon: Me, too! I've had it before. It's really good. I've got some at home. I'll make you some!
Meredith: Oh goody!

Tea for two!

Katie, Millason, Meredith and I went to Teany today (check it out: www.teany.com) in NYC. It was a beautiful day, the train was free for students and good friends are reunited for the last year of seminary together! Good times!

Our first dinner party in the apartment!!!!

Katie and I are so happy to be in our apartment! We wasted no time in having our first dinner party the night before classes began. Amy and Jason Morgan and Camille Cook were treated to pork, couscous, salad with HOMEMADE croutons, squash and zuccini, wine, ice tea and brownies and ice cream! Ahhh, this is the life!!!

Sheri was a wonderful hostess!

Sheri is the wife of my supervisor (the pastor of the church). She has two adorable little boys and they are expecting their first baby girl this October!

Lorraine, Kathy and Sharon

Lorraine made my going away cake. Kathy is the director of the Children's Ministry and in the far background is Sharon, the church administrator.

Mendi and I did the Bible Exploration portion of VBS together. Carley helped host the tea party. She has so many fun tea assessories, I was in heaven!

Red heads unite! (Julie and Mary)

Mary and I worked together doing the children's program on Wednesday night and Julie was one of the kids with whom we spend a lot of time.

Tea with the ladies of First Presbyterian, Hanford

In honor of my time at the church this summer some of the women gathered with me for a wonderful tea party. Two of the women, along with myself, provided all the yummy tea goodies! What fun it was!
