Hunting for that Denny's

Again I have to cover two weeks... I try my best to post next week again.

Monday the 12th of December we had our first snow day! Incredible isn't it?
School was first supposed to run on a two hour delay but ended but being completely canceled. I certainly didn't mind and went sledding in a little park at the edge of the town.
This week has after an unusual start become an even more unusual week.
For the simpler part we had two presentations in English/History, one was a review and the other one was about the 1920's I think.
And for the sad part, of the week, somebody I knew in Switzerland passed away. It was a really difficult feeling to handle for me, being so close because you can never leave home and the people you're connected with but also being at the other side of the globe at the same time.
It was one of those moments when the saying "distance means so little" really was true and no matter how many miles were in between I had a hard day and days to follow.

The schoolweek ended with me watching a basketball game at the school and the Vikes won, YAY :)
And after I went to see the new Star Wars Rogue One which really is a good movie, go watch it if you haven't done so yet!
And then something I have never seen in my entire life before, during the movie it had rained ice, so when we went out we had to scratch all the ice off the car and then drive real slow because the roads were like an ice field.
At home I ran around in the street and slithered around and had a ton of fun, at about 1am in the morning...

And then the weekend and Saturday came up and the story that gave todays blog it's title happened.
Mike and I wanted to go to the mall in Fort Wayne. So we did. We figured we would eat in a Denny's since I love that and haven't eaten there since I came 5 months ago.
So we punched into different websites and found some different locations. Turned out there is no Denny's in Fort Wayne, but we checked 3 locations that the wide web had given us.
The first one was in the middle of the country and as we drove there we thought that it would be really surprising to find a restaurant out here, it was literally in the middle of a bunch of woods and fields. The exact location actually didn't even have a building, so no luck out in the country so we decided to drive into town and check the address there. We ended up finding a Taco Bell in that exact spot but no Denny's again.
After a tiring and unsuccessful search we ate at Red Robins and after a little wait we enjoyed our meals, for me this war a burger with an egg in it which still is amazing to eat but a huge mess in the end.

After a short shopping experience, neither Mike nor I like shopping at all, we drove home and went to out neighbor's christmas party. We had such a nice time and they have a basement in their house, which is rare here, and the basement jus absolutely made me feel like in the Bierhalle at home.
The basement is a little man cave with a bar and poker table and the walls are full with beer brands and other fun little man like things.

And then the last 3 school days before break came in.
We didn't have regular class but had to take our finals. It was kind of weird and stressful but I passed all my classes so it's all good I guess.
Christmas break started on Thursday and Thursday and Friday I had practice in the morning and  used the afternoon to relax a little bit.
And before I had time to blink Christmas rolled in.
Saturday we celebrated with Karolees Family and I think I never saw as many presents in a room as I did that day. The present opening follows the age and I actually got some presents, the popcorn standing right next to me, and so many other things :) I had a really nice time and enjoyed seeing some people of the family I haven't met yet.

Now today Sunday was a bit more relaxed and after Church, during which Mike sang a song he wrote, we served some food and visited his mom in the afternoon.
We ended the weekend with some Sunday night Football and I finally ended it with writing this blog...
I hope everybody had a merry Christmas and a wonderful time with their families and since I won't post until next year, a happy new year and great rest of 2016!
