"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you."
Unfortunately the groundhog saw his shadow and we have 6 more weeks of winter. They do not do that here in Poland, so does that mean it is Spring? Don't get me wrong, winter is beautiful, but only certain aspects of it. I love a nice layer of snow on the ground with the sun shining and the snow glistening. Or, snow falling, sitting by a fireplace drinking hot chocolate! But, walking in this nastiness and waiting for my bus, which is usually late, and then spending an hour in the freezing cold because we have to for the kids is not my cup of tea! Lucky for me this winter here in Poland has been a "warm" one. Usually the temperatures get in the single digits and stay for awhile! This year has stayed 90% of the time over 20!
Friday was our grandparents day performance. I think it went great! Sadly, most people don't say thank you or anything! We had a few kids mess up, but it was funny hearing them sing, talk, and do the motions. I am proud of them! :-)
Saturday I went to a meeting with single/unmarried women in our church to talk about a book on the Christian woman and sex. I had a great time listening to others stories and takes on possibly reading this book.
After this I went paintballing! Wow! I have never done this before and it was a lot of fun. I got shot multiple times, once in the upper thigh (I have a nice little bruise), in the face 2 times (don't you worry, I had a mask on so no injuries there), and once in the finger (wow! That one hurt very badly, I thought I broke it at first but luckily I did not). I think I did pretty well playing. At first I was a weeny and super scared to get hit! Then after the first round (I was hidden and hardly shot any pellets) I was so dissapointed! So by the last round I was amazing. I climbed up high, saw some "yellow" people, climbed down and shot them! BOOM! Get it done. :-)
After that I had to rush home and get read for Justyna and Mat's invitation party! This was so neat, they invited all of their friends and had lots of yummy food. They then talked about how grateful they were for great friends and passed out our invitations! They are beautiful too. I am very excited for this! I already RSVPd. :-)
Sunday, Church was great! I am actually engaged and pay attention. I bet dad would even stay awake!! He always "rests" his eyes in Church, haha. After this a few people and I went to search for the McDonalds with all windows! I have a friend from college who has a student fascinated with McDonalds and saw this one in Warsaw, Poland made out of windows! Well, she messaged me right away to find it! Unfortunately the McDonalds is being torn down because it is an old building and they are putting a metro station there, but I did get a picture of it!
Felic, Lon, Corina and I exploring!
This week should be interesting with the Parents Meeting. Some of these parents are cray cray, but it would make this job way less interesting!
