LOVE is in the air...




We have room checks every monday night, and we always have a theme. This week was a love theme, and our room decided to decorate for the firs time! Well obviously we go all out! Valentines day is also our guy RA's birthday so we made him a microwave cake...and we sang love songs to him when he came in. WE WON! So now we just have hearts everywhere..so fun!

So now.....my Valentine's Day:

On this collllddd winter morning in Heidelberg, I woke up early to get ready for the day as usual. I have been really excited lately for this day of love (even without a valentine!) normally bitterness comes out of this holiday, but I was feelin the love today for sure. (but not yet). So I get ready and I run into one of the girls who says 'Oh my gosh, I love our boys!'. So of course I grab my camera and head down to the breakfast room. And here is what I found:
The boys had secretly snuck around the night before and made us all little valentine notes to go along with a flower for each of us! How cute are they to think of us! Of course, I know these boys and they are pretty much unbeleivable so it figures they would do something so unexpected and thoughtful! They each signed our notes with a little 'special' comment. Here are a few examples:
'I love you and Abilene is close to Lubbock, hint hint'
'how's mrs. england sound?'
'happy valentines naked cheese!' (one of my many acclaimed nick names)
'happy v-day even though your from TEXAS' (from a bitter californian haha)
'if you ever want to date....'
and many many more funny ones that wouldn't make much sense without long explanations!
So then I walked (or froze) down to class. I went to German, then english, then we headed off to our essighaus lunch. As we were sitting down two of our boys, ben and cam, made all the girls stand up in the middle of the room. They turned their hats sideways and performed a rap they had made for us! It was HILARIOUS! They said it was just a few minutes of portraying how they feel about us (from all the guys). It seriously made my year! By the way these are two very talented boys, for real! The rap consisted of funny things about how we are the girls of moore haus, the best girls to travel with cause the rest they unravel, and talking about how they love it when we get sweaty walking up the hill so don't take a taxi! Obviously I don't have quite the rhythm they are gifted with haha but it was a whole page that made us feel so good about our selves, seriously it was the sweetest thing ever!

Now, its almost 6 and me and a few other girls are getting together a surprise dinner of pizza with blankets and candles at the castle for some of our guy friends! We figured it was our turn to do something thoughtful! Then everyone will probably all meet up somewhere after dinner to just hangout. It has been the best valentines day ever!

Oh yeah, and it was made better when I got a package from home that included the traditional valentines day rubber ducks my mom is so well known for. hahaha I love it! I hope everyone else had an amazing Valentines Day as well! It has been great to have such a wonderful day, and for once not be depressed about not having a Valentine! Shoot, I have about 26 Valentines here. Right now I would not trade any one of them for just one boy!

Well, I'll conclude with the true phrase of Valentine's day, ICH LIEBE DICH!
