Hey everybody, how ya'll doing?!!! Thanks for checking in with me! :) I'm back- back in the states that is! I must say it feels good to be home in Jersey and to spend a lot of time with family and friends! Last year, was a long year, because I did not come home for Christmas and I was in Italy and Germany for 9 months. (Every other year Tobi and I spend Christmas in the states with my family and the other in Germany with his family. Fair, I would say, huh?) So, yes, I am really enjoying this summer at home.

I felt that it was a great location for sight-seeing and I also had the chance to meet a lot of nice people. I am spending time in Bavaria, Germany with my boyfriend and his family. I always enjoy coming here this time of year because it is beautiful. In the area Tobi lives, you can see the snow-capped mountains and green countryside. This morning we took advantage of the weather and went for a 30 km bike ride along a river and through picturesque landscapes. Refreshing. We will stay here until June 8th. In this time, I want my body to recover from the long season and enjoy myself. Throughout the season, I put so much time and effort into it. All that I do is eat, sleep and play basketball. ...
