Tell me when can I see you again

My dear friend Ary visited me last weekend. Ary was one of my roommates in the German House at BYU and is now an Au Pair in Berlin. I've missed this girl a lot in the past months. We've been trying to work out how we can afford to visit each other for a while now, and it finally worked out, just in time for my birthday!
Friday night I picked Ary up at the Hauptbahnhof. I conveniently had waaaaaaay too much time to kill, so I decided to finally get around to composing. I've determined composing is much easier with a piano around. We talked and talked like the good ol' days less than a year ago. This time last year, we were thinking and dreaming and scheming (ok, I was seriously scheming) about coming to Germany as Au Pairs. And now it's all come true!
Saturday we tried to go to a spring fair. We got there a good bit after it should have opened, but it was rather creepily deserted. I can't blame them though, since Winter is just barely starting to loosen it's grip now, when it's almost April. Maybe it was just open at night or something strange like that. Should've asked a local beforehand... So we went shopping instead.

Oh, and we made pumpkin pie. Well, technically some cupcake-sized pies and... a loaf of pie. It was taking much too long to make all the little pies and we only had one tin. Pie isn't  big here, so we had to make do with what we had. So what if we were a bit late for Pi Day and very late for the normal pumpkin pie holidays? It was still delicious :)

We also tried to watch a movie that refused to work. It was super frustrating, especially since that meant I had to go exchange the blu-ray. Eek. 

You should totally read Ary's post on the weekend. She wrote it much sooner and it's much more interesting from a visitor's perspective. We had such a great time together! I can't even express how nice it was to have a roommate again, if only for the weekend. And I get to see her again this weekend at a Young Single Adults church conference in Leipzig this weekend!!!
