warm waffle + mountain of whipped cream + chocolate goodness = GOFRE


For a little treat the other day, we decided to stop by a wonderful little stand by the river to get some gofres. Gofres are a gooey mess, but they are SO delicious. :) They are also something that I could probably replicate pretty well back in the states, so let me know if you ever want to try one.
This next part doesn't have anything to do with gofres, but I just thought I would let all my wonderful blog readers know about some news I got today. I received my acceptance letter for the Bethel nursing program! Earlier during my time here, I started getting all sorts of emails about how my portfolio wasn't complete and I needed this transcript and that medical form and all sorts of things handed in. After frantically emailing, filling out forms, faxing, and doing whatever else I needed to (thank you mom and dad for all your help with that stuff), I got everything in... 10 days late. I was a little nervous about the whole thing, but I can rest easy now and know that starting this fall, I will be on my way to earning my degree in nursing!

  1. CONGRATULATIONS! I actually knew about your acceptance before reading your blog. Pete told me this morning when I picked him up. He is in surgery right now as I type. I'll send you an update via email later.

  8. You can put us at the top of the list for gofres. Also, CONGRATULATIONS! We are so excited for you. Erica did a celebration touchdown dance for you. Miriam made spit bubbles for you. The Robertson household was rocking tonight! Seriously though that is a great accomplishment (even if it is really the beginning of a long road). Way to go.

    Aaron, Erica, and Miriam
