Shooting!

On the 9th of September I met up with Andreas in Hamburg and we walked all over the harbor and had a wicked dinner..it was really nice to see a familiar face again even though it was only for one day... however we did solidify some plans to go to Oktoberfest! yahhooo!

After that I decided it was actually time to change my flight a pick out a date i would be coming home... however in doing so I found out that unless I want to pay for a whole new flight back to Canada I HAVE to return on the 23rd of January! That is a whole month sooner than I had planned...thankfully everything worked out with the new Au Pair and she is now coming earlier too, but it was still a bit of a downer! In my realization of it being so real now.. i even cried! already!! I have 4 more beautiful months left with my family and I am already crying! Oh No! I thought it was going to be hard to say goodbye... but this... it really isnt looking good for me! hopefully I am not sitting beside a cute man on the flight back.. cause really who looks good when they cry! I know i dont!

Now for the fun part, we had our fire department group (for the matches) end party. (man it sounds better in German) and for that we went to an Army base in Munster (not to be confused with Münster). There we got to do a whole bunch of simulator shooting (with the real guns and real kickbacks but only with no bullets) I got to shoot a G36, a Grande Launcher, A Machine Gun, A 9mm Pistol, A gun to shoot tanks...the name is in German and i forget it. And then I got to do a simulator shooting from a tank and all these other cool scenarios! After shooting we took a break and had a BBQ then did some more shooting, drinking and even some dancing! All in all it was SUPER cool and am so happy i got to be apart of the Fire Department and experience all these interesting and new things!!

Next adventure... next weekend...OKTOBERFEST!
