The Hills are Alive (Pt. 1)

Did you know: that Austrians are just like any other people, only taller and more environmentally conscious? It's true, I know some.

 J-Dawg's sister Katharina has come to our humble city from the great nation of Austria to visit her brother and find out exactly what our country has to offer. So far the terrible cafeteria food, cold weather, and jet lag (not America's fault) have probably put a damper on this Great American Odyssey, but Mariah and I have planned to help Katharina have the grandest experience possible and we will do everything in our power to insure that she has a lovely time.

I mean we already made sure she felt right at home by immediately singing the universally known Austrian Song of Friendship (The theme from The Sound of Music) outside her door before dinner.

Mariah sang so longingly that there were music notes on the wall! Wow. Look at that!

Later, we further introduced Katharina to our strange and beautiful culture by making her watch Rock of Love with Brett Michaels and half of Tropic Thunder. USA! USA!

And just to show that we care, Mariah and I asked before we started taking pictures of J-Dawg and Kat in their cute matching t-shirts.

"Do something Austrian!" Aren't they cute? Unfortunately Mariah started acting up and Johannes had to restrain her. Don't be a tourist Mariah, this is your country.

Stay tuned for Pt.2 of our many part series ,The Hills Are Alive, and learn more about our gentle brothers (and sisters) in Austria.

Svenksa, ya

well hello people,

So I am finally back to write a bit about the life I'm sure you all have missed. So maybe you are tired of listening to how my roomie Hannah is not/is a nerd and how she does things, but who could really get tired of that adorable girl.

Well I feel I should tell you about my little vaca, or at least the best part.

Martin came on the 31st all the way from the land of blonde hair and blue eyes. While here he experienced many new cultural things.

Here are just a few things he did.

1.) eat mac and cheese, bbq, peanut butter, peanut butter cups, chocolate chip cookies/dough, elephant ice cream, corn dogs, pizza bites, and kool aid all for the first time.

2.) toured hayward in all it's glory

3) went into the ditch and pulled out by 5 strong men in overalls.

4.)went glow bowling

5.) learned how to ice fish with tip ups

6) learned how to let my brother win in all games

He left on the 13th and it was all very sad, so sad that I was prompted to fix this whole distance problem. I applied to college in Gothenburg, Sweden for fall 09. We will see how that goes, no holding our breath.

So this blog may go international ladies and gentlemen.

Love,

M
