Busy busy!

Sorry for the lack of updates, we are still WAITING to get a letter about my application, but it should come any time in the next week, so keep your fingers crossed please? I've been checking the mailbox at least twice a day, but apparently that has no effect on how quickly the letter will arrive. The crazy thing is that we found out the church we are having our wedding at has to issue me a CPR number in order to do the ceremony. Which means I technically have a number, but it is not attached to any of the rights that normal CPR numbers have. Its a little confusing but basically I still have to wait for the government to attach my number to my visa application to be able to go to the doctors or schools or libraries or apply for a job or anything really, but hey they gave me a number! ha! :)

Other than that, I've been really busy with the wedding planning mostly, I won't bore you with all the little details, but I am REALLY excited to see everything start coming together in such a good way! :) I also can't wait to see my friends and family again- Michelle and I talked yesterday and Noel informed us that they would be getting on a plane in 18 days!!! Oh my gosh! :) Sooooo can't wait to see them again! I have been a little homesick recently (nothing bad, just wishing my mom and Michelle were here to help me with the wedding stuff mostly) so to know that they will be here so soon makes me really happy. I can't wait to show off Copenhagen a little bit and show them my new life here and of course celebrate Klaus and I's new life together with everyone! :)

I've also started going to spin classes again which has been an interesting experience. I find myself completely exhausted after each class and I really think its the combination of the physical activity and the mental part of trying to understand what the instructor (a David Letterman look-a-like) is screaming at me in danish! ha! Luckily there's a really nice girl in the class who has let me sit next to her for the past few weeks and has been soooo helpful and patient with me. The first week she sat next to me she translated almost the entire class for me (a MASSIVELY impressive feat I must say!) And each time since then I've needed a little less and less translation. Last night it was actually the other way around where I would try to translate in my head and then just look to her and ask if what I thought I heard was right or not. :) The other big difference in these classes than the ones in the states is that we're all hooked up to heart rate monitors that are then synced into a system that displays them on a giant projector screen at the front of the class. Basically your HR monitor has a number on it and as you walk into the class you sign into the computer system and put in what your max heart rate should be and then it calculates percentages based on that. So when David Letterman says "femogfirs procent" I know that my little monitor needs to be at 85%. I also know that if I don't get my little monitor to say that, then David Letterman will point at it and yell "Kom Nu!!" haha!

So that's what's going on here. I know I promised pictures from our trip to Jylland to see Klaus' parents so I'll add a few here, but I've posted most of them on facebook too. :)

 

XOXO,
