Germany

Well we've been home from Germany for a week now! We had so much fun. Scott's parents live over there and decided to fly their sons and their wives over for a visit. 4 of the 5 boys with their wives were able to make it! Thanks a million Lance and Trudy! We left here Wednesday morning, April 30th, and arrived Thursday morning, May 1st. Thursday we just hung around in Frankfurt which is just 15-20 minutes from Lance and Trudy's apartment. Friday we went to the Heidelberg castle and then to the Frankfurt Temple which is 5 minutes from their apartment. Saturday we went to a castle called Burg Eltz. It was my favorite castle of all. It's still owned by the same family who built it 800 years ago. They use part of the castle as a summer home. After that we traveled down the Rhine River and did some shopping in St. Gore. Sunday we stayed "home" and just went to church. Trudy was so excited to show off her boys! Her pride and joy! Monday was when we started our traveling. We stopped at Wurtzburg first, then to Rothenburg, which was founded in the 12th century. One of the oldest buildings there was built in the 700's. Tuesday, after Rothenburg, we headed to Hohenschwangau, which translates to Castle of high swan country. Wednesday we went to Neuschwanstein, the castle that the Disneyland castle is based off of. Then we headed to Salzburg, Austria. Austria was my most favorite! on Thursday we did the Sound of Music tour. They took us to all of the places where they filmed different scenes of the Sound of Music. After that we hung out in downtown Salzburg. Friday we went to Munich and ate at one of the oldest beer halls in Germany. Then we went to a concentration camp in Dacau. I didn't enjoy that one bit. After we were finished there we had a 6 hour drive, because of traffic, back to Lance and Trudy's place. Saturday we went to Bad Homburg for a few hours then to their ward party that night. We flew out Sunday morning, and arrived here Sunday night. Germany is 9 hours ahead of us, so technically it was a short flight. But it didn't seem that way! We had a blast, but its always nice to be home. We took over 600 pictures, but here are just a few.

our story

Jetti was working at Rafaels when she first served Scott's parents. They hit it off instantly, and so his mom decided to ask if Jetti had a boy friend. Jetti replied, "Sort of, he's on his mission right now, but I am dating other guys." As soon as that was said Scott's mom whipped out photos of her single boys. The first time Scott and Jetti actually saw each other was when Jetti served the entire Andrewsen family. This was for Scott's parents birthdays in October. Over the next few months Jetti and Scott occasionally worked together at the restaurant when Scott picked up some shifts. One night when they were working together in late January, Scott decided that they were going to hang out that night after work. Jetti informed Scott that she already had plans with some of her girl friends. Scott was persistent, played that they'd already agreed on plans and that she was breaking them, and even went as far as calling the girls to cancel the other plans. That didn't work. The girls showed up to the restaurant as it was closing, as planned. Scott headed home, and Jetti and her friends couldn't think of anything to do. So they too were just going to head home. As Jetti was driving home, she decided to take Scott up on his offer. She called back to the restaurant and got Scott's phone number from the manager. She called him, and she and the girls went and hung out at with him and his brother. They set up an official date for the next week, and after that they were inseparable.
