This used to be part of a sheep farm, but they moved all of the sheep :(
Miriam made these from scratch. She was surprised when we told her that Americans make almost everything from a box mix.
My backyard.
The Historical Library: my favorite room in the castle.
Three flights of stairs. Basement to attic.
It's all chocolate. I knew I liked Europe...
Trying to figure out how to climb the tree... it didn't work.
The Rotunda: where we have ballroom dancing lessons.
The Pillar Room. This is where we have all of our classes. It was the Count's wife's bedroom.
I have no idea how I'm going to keep up with this blog. So much happens everyday; I wish I had the time to type it all up! There are so many different personalities here, so something is always funny, or thought provoking or happy. We're like a giant family. Literally. The pastors all have kids, so they're always running around screaming. It's awesome. Last night was trivia night in the downstairs dining room. My team got extra points because we had two of the Foster kids at our table. One of the perks of working in the children's ministry. The married couples won, but we still had a great time.
Every time I sit down to type, I get all scatterbrained and forget everything I want to say. Life here is so much fun; we have jokes, goof around, play games and take millions of pictures. I have to remind myself why I'm here sometimes. It's so cool to wake up and think, "Oh, I have Jeremiah and Romans today. Great!" Last semester it was, "...oh. I have math and world civilizations today. Great." This is such a wonderful opportunity. Every night the girls in my room sit on the floor and we pray together before we go to bed. Friday mornings I have a different prayer group that meets after our Evangelism and Discipleship class. Prayer is so important, and it's such a blessing to be able to walk up to any person in the castle and say, "Hey, can you pray with me about this?" Thank God.
