Another happy week

Normal week here in Germany. The weather has been totally fantastic, so Monday AND Tuesday, I got to open a ton of windows in the house and air it out! It's been gray pretty much every day since October, so the sunshine is a completely welcome sight. We also live in a village surrounded by woods and nature, so we get to go out in it whenever we want!

We also have a running championship competition. First one, we had a Mario Kart competition. Last night, we played Star Wars Monopoly.

Yeah, we dressed up. I had a Star Wars tank on. That's how we like to roll.

We are gonna check out the Spring Festival in the nearby bigger city today after we drop off our overnight guest back at his home.

Totally forgot to post last week.

It's saved in my drafts. I just never got to posting it after making it. Oh well, whatever. This week/weekend was more interesting anyway.

First, I am really excited that I ran at a faster speed and for longer than I ever have before. I think I would have been able to keep going, but I got excited and forgot to control my breathing. ha! I was quite proud of myself, especially because I HATE running.

Another heart check up on Friday. Back in October, the battery life had 16 months left. Then in Jan, it only had 8 months! They were worried that I would have to have surgery in April. Got it looked at and discovered that I still had 6 months. Still have to have surgery this year, but it's not draining as fast. Part of me thinks that it's due to not only eating well, but working out more and getting more physically fit. I've always been in relatively good shape, but now I'm actually working on being fit and it's definitely helping me in more ways than just appearance!

Went back to Heidelberg yesterday. Instead of driving, we took the train and it was REALLY easy! (really fun too!)
