The paintings I promised

That's all for now!

New news!!!

Hi, 

soooooooooooo...I finished my practical week in a crafts-store, it was really fun working there, talking to customers, etc. At the end of the week the owner gave me a 10o Euro certificate thing (what ever you call it). I really see that as God's provision for me, because with that money I was able to buy real expensive, and thus, good quality paint brushes and watercolors. I could have never afforded them by myself, but with the certificate (or what ever you call it) I was able to buy them. 

Last week my cousin-twice-removed visited us. It was really fun talking to her, and it just made me realize what a huge family I have on both sides, my mom and my dad. We're going to go to Germany for Easter and I'm really looking forward to that. It will be nice to see my Granddad again, since he is not doing so well right now.

Our move to France is coming closer and closer. It's kinda scary. We haven't sold our house yet, but in May we're going to go to France for three weeks to check out the area. I think what I'm looking forward to most, is living so close to England. And that means really close to Ireland too!!! I've always wanted to go to Ireland. It just fascinates me. There is so much culture, history and art there. I love it! 

One more good thing about moving to France soon, it that mom is going to take all of us out of school the 1st of May. That means back to homeschooling!!!! I am looking forward to it so much. You can't imagine how much I missed it. What I missed most is being able to say what I want, to ask what I want, without being looked at weird, like,"Why are you asking that, that's silly!" And I also miss reading so many books, I miss being challenged in my way of thinking. 'Cause I am definitely not being challenged in any way, in public school. Well, that's enough negative talk for today. 

Right now I have to stop writing because I have to cook brunch now, we're going to have french toast, biscuits, and pancakes!!! yum....

Back from SHARE and off to France

Hey, so we're back from the SHARE conference in Hungary last week. It was so cool, we've gone to the conference every year for the past 6, and it is so cool to see all the people again from the last years. I like it especially, 'cause its a conference for 3rd culture kids, (nice word to describe us missionary kids). It felt so good to talk to people my age who speak English, are Christians, and MKs too. I came home and I felt so refreshed. It helped me refresh my relationship with God to, because lately its been really hard to keep reading my bible and everything, because of school. 

Well, it looks like we're going to go to France real soon. We want to takea few weeks off in April to visit the area where we want to move to. I don't know, on the one hand I'm exited about moving, sort of. On the other hand, I don't want to go to France, because it will finalize things we're really moving. I've lived in Austria almost all my life and now I'm moving again.

 I know compared to others, I haven't moved a lot, but it feels a lot to me. Maybe, because when we move, we always move so far away. First from America to Austria, then from one side of Austria to the other. Then from on side of our state Tirol to the other, and now to France. (We've had a couple smaller moves in there too). O well. 

Next week I am going to work in a craft store for a week. Its for school, extra credit or something. I won't get paid, but the owner said if I work real hard, he might through those watercolors in there I've been wanting for such a long time.

Well, that's all new news I can come up with. I'll be posting some pics of SHARE and some of my paintings soon!
