I'm a Negrete Again!

We FINALLY got our yellow registration cards in the mail yesterday. We had a little delay because of the holidays but it still took longer then it should have to get us our cards, without them, we are basically worthless here... or so it seems :) Anyways, they haven't processed our Marriage License yet so I am back to being Nichole Negrete. I have even had to sign Nichole Negrete a few times already. Don't know when they will get my name fixed in the system.. if ever, but I guess here, I am Nichole Negrete. When I was trying to come up with a name for this post Michael was sitting next to me and I said, how about "I'm single again" He couldn't stop laughing and said, "How about...not"

I got a cell phone yesterday...FINALLY! I couldn't get one till I got that little yellow card. That will make life a little easier. I have been using one of our OLD phones from 2002 from last time we were here with a prepaid card in it, just so Michael and I could touch base if needed. We were glad we held onto those phones. anyways, My new phone... I LOVE it.. it is soooo skinny! It is even thinner then my little pink razor phone I had in Dallas. It isn't even available for purchase in the states yet so I feel all high tech. The phones here are actually much more advanced then the ones in the states. I'm not sure why though.

Tonight we are going to Klaus's sister and her boyfriends house with Klaus for dinner. Should be fun as the few times we have been with her, we have always gotten along with her. Her and Jens are our age and really really nice. A couple weeks ago we went to dinner at another old friends place. (Dorte and her family) She is one of the secretaries at DTU that helped make our life infinitely easier last time we were here. Her and her husband have two kiddos that are 11 and 15. It was sooo nice to go back to her house and spend some time with her family. In about two weeks we are going to Jorgen and Agnus Moltofts home for dinner with there children and their families. They were like our surrogate grandparents while we were here last time and again, without them, I'm not sure we would have survived here last time. They have two kids in their 30's and the entire family was SO great to us so we are REALLY looking forward to seeing them again too.

hmmm... yup, thats about it for today. It is 4:50pm and the sun is just now setting. Its nice to know the days are getting longer! I already have noticed I have more energy on a daily basis! yea!

WOW the Nichole I knew for so long is back. It took me awhile to quit saying "Nichole Negrete...no wait I mean Pate". I agree with Michael you are still WAY not single.
Have a great time over the next few weeks visiting and catching up with old friends. It is always nice to do!! Post a pic of your phone so we can see the technology that we are all missing out on. I never knew the US was behind (see how much I know about technology!!) =)

Okay, okay, I know I'm old! Usually I check earlier, but today, I needed a nap. Don't listen to your mom. She is NOT old. If she is old, what do you call me? I am going to be 64 in February! (I know, that is ancient!) Oh, well, I enjoyed reading your blog, and the comments from everybody else. Technology is great, isn't it? What is great is that I even know how to use it! Hugs to you,
Sharon

PS-Nichole, what were the two pictures that didn't show up. I guess they were pictures. They came out as squares with X's in them.

Well Happy Brithday Mrs. N (one day early)!!

My mom is preparing herself for 60 (a few years in advance) by saying that 60 is the new 40!!

I have to start preparing myself. I'll be 29 on Wed. I only have a year left and I'll be 30. =(

My mom is 60 and I'm 29, so I fit right in. :( I like that, 60 is the new 40! My mom is in awesome shape, she does triathalons and century bike rides and half marathons, and probably a marathon again here soon. crazy! both my parents actually.

The new gym sounds great! That was hilarious about the euro-texas tees!
