all packed!


Ok..... haven't packed at all, but I have everything I need!


The latest word from Olaf: "The authorities haven't moved yet... He [the club's GM] hopes everything gets settled by the week."

Hopefully they will get everything figured out really soon; high altitude training is great, but i'm ready to be in Germany!!

life is beautiful

::Vega4::

Life is beautiful
We love until we die

When you run into my arms,
We steal a perfect moment.
Let the monsters see you smile,
Let them see you smiling.

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated.
We barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Yeah, life is beautiful.
Our hearts, they beat and break.

When you run away from harm,
Will you run back into my arms,
Like you did when you were young?
Will you come back to me?

I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in.

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated,
we barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Stand where you are.
We let all these moments pass us by.

It's amazing where I'm standing,
There's a lot that we can give.
This is ours just for a moment.
There's a lot that we can give. 

hurry. go listen to this song.

Mercier TT

The German countryside has a lot to live up to...


because my bicycle rides in COS are spectacular.




Sometimes I wonder how badly it would hurt to get rammed by a deer...
Probably not as much as climbing a 500 ft hill with no gears!






Proud of my newly manicured nails.
(which are ruined now, but they were nice for 24 hours!)

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

NEIN
(that's the only German word I know)


 Willstatt, Germany


SC SAND Regionalliga


I've been told to pack warm clothes... Good thing Colorado is imitating the weather there so I'll be prepared.

Supposed to be leaving September 12, 2011. I signed a contract to play for 6 months (Sept-Nov 2011 & Feb-June 2012).

To say I am excited is a bit of an understatement...
