Germany 6


Friends! I have pictures! My friend Sarah got her landlord's wireless internet password, so I have an Internet connection. I think I have mentioned in previous post how difficult it can be to get things done around Deutschland! Here are some pictures of what I have been up to! The pictures are of my trips to the Alps to go skiing and SCOTLAND! I feel extremely blessed for the opprotunities I have had recently to see Europe. Haggis, tatties, neeps- traditional Scottish food!
My first hostel experience! We had a group of 6 and stayed in this "lovely" place in dowtown edinburgh!
Downtown Edinburgh
The Edinburgh castle- what a fortress!
Skiing with friends in the Alps--- so much fun!
Nurse Corps Buddies!Wow! Thanks God for your beautiful creation and the beautiful day to ski! You are so awesome.
My apartment is coming along smashingly. Thanks to Ikea, my household goods arriving, a spritful 14 year old neighbor who likes to help me put things together, and many Euros. It looks way better than the flashback to the 80s it was before! I can't wait for family to come visit. I also can't wait for the weather to get warmer! I can't wait to run on the trails (hopefully bike too once I get one!).
My church, Frontline, is amazing. I can't wait to get involved more. It is so alive and rockin'. I am blessed to find the community. Aaaand there are lots of kiddos running around so hopefully I will find an opprotunity to babysit! (I need a kid fix)
The top 3 things I miss about the United States:
3) My phone plan... goodbye free minutes
2) the dollar
1) my drink being filled with endless amounts of water at restaurants!
The Army Nurse Transition Program is...slow. I am trying to be patient about the process and enjoy the weekends off and the things I am doing. Sometimes I just want to scream, "I AM AN RN! LET ME ON THE FLOOR!" I know I have much to learn, but also know the only way to learn is to start actually doing it and not sitting in the classroom. Please pray for patience for me as I will be in this transition program until July.
Okay, I think that is good for tonight! I wish I could watch the Olympics more, but with the lack of Internet and T.V. It's been difficult. USA all the way!

  1. Hi Caitlin! I am SO jealous of your visit to the Alps! That was the ONE thing we wanted to squeeze into our trip but were just too worn out. So glad the Lord blessed you with such a beautiful day! Sat with your mom at Amery's baby shower and got caught up with the Cummings' family. Sounds like you are adjusting well to Germany. Will be praying for you as you finish up your transition training. Hang in there and keep enjoying those weekends off! Isn't IKEA divine? Love - Mrs. Walters ;)
