Annapolis, MD and some more pictures...

Not much has happened last week.
This week will be a little bit busier... I will get a visit from my visit teachers for the very first time since I turned 18. Who would have thought this would ever happen?!?
We still have to put decoration with Judie up for Thursday and for Christmas.
This Thursday (Thanksgiving) will be my first real Thanksgiving and I'm excited to have tons of food! Judie's parents, brother and some cousins are coming and we will be 10 people fighting over the turkey. Next Monday, Anthon is already gonna fly...and me 4 days later... but really.. nothing exciting has happened..sorry about that.. so I'm just posting some more pictures.

The pictures are not in the best quality... Anthon changed the setting to a lower quality..and we forgot to put it back... grrrr....

When I had a free minute, I walked trough and around the house and experimented a little bit more with the camera. When I get a camera in my hand, I'm like a little Japanese...



This cat is the shyest cat of Judie's 3 cats. I seldom see it. So it was hard to get a normal picture...without the white wood...sad... but this shot looks funny.













Last Thursday, we went babysitting for a 10 month old boy. His parents went to a gala and came back with a huge bouquet of flowers for us... really nice of them.
So I had to take the chance to put the things I had learned from the books into practice.











This Saturday, Frank suggested us to go to Annapolis, MD since we only had 2 weekends left before Anthon flies..and me, too.

Annapolis is famous for its Naval Academy, so we went to the campus and watched a short movie in the Visitors Center.
I didn't know too much about it, so it was pretty interesting.
I'm impressed with the women that go there and have to go through the same training as the guys- amazing! I couldn't that! But luckily this country has enough people that are willing to go through these 4 tough years of training to be able to protect this country.



I didn't notice that this here was a garbage can until Anthon told me that the people, who were walking by, asked each other why this girl was taking a picture of that garbage can. :-) Ooops..




We really wanted to go to this chapel, but a wedding was about to start...so we couldn't see the inside...unfortunately..





I love Photoshop! I don't know much about it...so I was exploring it a little bit this time.
I didn't like that the photographer was in this picture...so I erased him...kind of fun..




Annapolis lies directly at the sea, which gives the city a nice touch.





When we walked through the city, we noticed that there are many guys wearing their uniforms. Anthon was suspecting that there might be a game. Later his dad called and told us, that they were playing against Arkansas.
We heard that the students always march to the stadium when there is a game, so we were lucky to see them marching and being able to take pictures.








While we were in Annapolis, I remembered that an elder from my mission in the Michigan Lansing Mission is in the Naval Academy. But I figured that the chances that I'll meet him are pretty low.
I also remembered that he was playing the drums in a scottish/irish Naval Band. But when I heard some bagpipes playing a little bit further away, I had to go closer to see if he was there... and he was!
So lucky!













Before the football game started, they had a fly over...pretty cool.
