Our Switzerland Trip

On July 4th, 2008 my brother Andy married his fiance Martina in Warnemunde, Germany. We were lucky enough to be invited and attend! Getting ready proved to be exciting, and even though I spent time choosing this outfit and that outfit, in the end I hastily added extra pieces, some of which didn't even see the light of day. Had I realized the language spoken was primarily German, I may've brushed up on it, I mean what language was I thinking they spoke, English? No. So I went back to the dredges of my memories of Highschool German, though everytime I was spoken to in German, conjugation and verb recall kicked into high gear. Why hadn't I learned more nouns, had more interest in pursuing the language, why couldn't I just have instant access to a spot in my memory that just 'knew' German. Why indeed. So not knowing I would, in the end, have this lament- I went forth, happy in my ignorance. :) I hadnt really grasped the full aspect of what this trip would mean yet. All I knew was how hard it had been to get to this point, what with working out details with Jacobs' father and switching around visitation schedules. I was just happy to be able to say 'I am going to Switzerland!'
