The beauty that God created is all around me. The amazing weather. The view, no matter which direction you look. The friends that surround me. The husband who loves me, warts and all. The children He gave to us, who show me what love and forgiveness are- every day.

I watched the sun (almost) rise this morning. K&P woke up at 0630, and instead of trying to ger them back to sleeo or trying to keep them quiet, we went out to the lobby. They have a'porch' inside with huge windows. We sat in rocking chairs and looked to the East. As the sun was creeping up between the mountains, I felt this wave of peace. Not sure how to describe it, so I will not try.

Five seconds later, as the sun was almost in ssight, I heard "Mommy, I have to go pee!"

So, I almost saw the sun rise over the Alps!

Classes were great today, as was the family time/date night. J and I were actually able to work on a couple things that needed working on. It was nice to feel like grown ups! And I really feel like it was stuff that will help us in the long run.

And... We went to the Top of Germany! Zugspitze. Holy terrifying! We took the lift (which is pretty much a cable car) to the top, walked around and checked out the view, then rode the lift back down. It was so beautiful! I was pretty scared on the way up, not going to lie. Not having control and hanging in the air, in a car, by a couple cables. I think any normal person would be scared! It was worth it though! Definately a 'once in a lifetime' experience. J told me 'We are getting to old for this stuff!' and I think I agree!

All in all, a completely amazing day, start to finish.
