Just come on over and we'll sit on the porch and see em  live ! 2. Learning to play the piano again. Thanks, Dad for the lessons. Sorry, fam for the beginner's noises. 3. Getting back in touch with a friend from several years ago.

High Five for Friday

          I'm participating in my first linkup (becoming such a blogger over here... well, trying) with Lauren Elizabeth , with her "High Five for Friday!" Here are my highlights for the week! 1. Walks with my parents, swims in my pool, and five  one minute tennis matches with the Pops... Getting back in the groove of enjoying family and fitness. 2. Meeting two precious twin girls I'll be babysitting while continuing this job search. Great reminder of the joys of little ones. 3. Getting CPR certified was pretty cool. Ready to save some lives! 4. Plans to go to a comedy show tonight. Either with the padres or any amigos I can bring along! 5.Going to my little cousin's wedding tomorrow! Can't wait to celebrate their love, see lots of family,  and meet her beautiful baby! The now bride and me at 12 and 14 on our Tennessee roadtrip with Papa and Mimi. ;) Happy Friday, all! 

FAQs Med Mig

      So maybe I'm still dreaming of the past a little, but it was just a couple months ago so gimme some slack! ;) I figured I'd do some of the questions I've been asked since returning from Denmark. And for those of you reading my blog, I shouldn't have to mention anything about the work experience... So we'll move on from that.  First of all, here's Denmark to answer one FAQ!  (Don't feel bad if ya didnt know... I wouldn't have either if  hadn't gotten a job there!)

It's just a super cool place.  And, of course, all the people I met making it even more amazing.  Where  was your favorite place you went? Switzerland. It was my first big trip out of the country, I

Snapshots of Copenhagen

     Thanks to visitors, I have pictures to share to put an image to my stories! So here are some pictures, some with links to the posts I wrote about them, and some with links to outside sources for more info about the places/events (I should be getting paid for this!) Most of these pictures came from the Amys' visit , but show a lot of places I frequented throughout my stay.     Be prepared. This post is loaded .  Kongens Have (The King's garden) One of our favorite places to chill, mentioned in these posts . A great place for relaxing, picnicking, or whateva! Some chose to play sports, we usually opted for a more lazy route. The Botanical Garden Where I went with Sune in February, the Amys in May, and the Padres in June. One of my favorite if not  favorite  place in Copenhagen.  happy duck Nyhavn The postcard image of the city.  The Lakes and Dronning Louises Bro   (Queen Louise's Bridge) talked about here
