Today was so much fun!! I woke up and went with Mitha to do crafts!! For all my sorority sisters - you know how crafty I am... Not. Well Mitha has definitaly picked up on my lack of craftiness and so she made fun of me the whole time which was funny cause I felt like home hahaha :) so we went to this ladies house who does craft workshops and she basically shows you some options and you get to choose what you want to do! :) I chose making a felt painting cause I figured I could take that with me :) Mitha made some cool lights that looked like Halloween!
Here I am making my drawing thing! You had a special needle and you would poke the felt through the white stuff to make the picture. I spread out the felt a lot and as I was poking it in, it shrunk :( so I kinda had to start again haha the upper left picture is the sweet artistic lady! She was really fun.
This is Mitha being her crafty self! (She would make an awesome sorority girl!!) I was going to do the same as her but as soon as she told me I had to sew, I opted out!
The one on the right is my finished project! The bottom left was the first time I finished and the other two are ones that the lady did! Haha A.K.A. How it's supposed to look! ;) mine is a picture of me and my future husband in New Zealand with our pet sheep!! :D hahaha they made fun of me cause he's naked...
This is just a few of the cool things that the lady has made!! It's amazing how good she is!! :)
After we got home we relaxed some before it was time for me to head to Tom's house for dinner!! Mitha dropped me off at the train station and gave me a piece of paper with directions so I wouldn't buy the wrong ticket! :) haha then I asked the guy what platform I should go to and he said three! :) so I went to platform three and awaited my train to Antwerp Central at 5:18! (I had to get off at Bouvard or something like that) so the train came early and I asked someone if it was the train at 5:18 to Antwerp Central and showed him my ticket - he said yeah, so on I went! Just like in Paris, I knew I was on the wrong train the SECOND the doors closed! Haha so I texted Tom and told him I got on the wrong train... He had to get off in Antwerp and I just missed the right train by 30 seconds!! But we only ended up being about 30 minutes later than planned! So it all worked out ok! :)
These are his kids :) Jens and Fin! Fin is the younger on in the blue and he is SUCH a ham (so of course we got along) and Jens is a bit more shy but so so sweet and I quickly got him to warm up to me! They were both excited to see me which was so sweet! And we played hide and go seek in the house while Tom cooked dinner. (Which was extremely delicious! Tom's a great cook!)
See? Jens really warmed up to me! :) he's also kind of a ham once he comes out of his shell! Hahaha he is just hilarious. It was such a lovely evening! I got Pictures with Tom and Cindy, but we took them with Tom's Camera, so I'll have to get them later! They are the sweetest couple!! They remind me of my parents and you can just tell how much they love each other! It was so precious to see their family! They are wonderful parents and the kids are just adorable!! Overall it was a great evening and so good to meet Cindy finally!! My parents went to their wedding which was like 5/6 years ago and they told me how great she is, so I loved getting to know her! We are similar in a lot of ways! :) I can't wait to see them again!
