I was just hit in the face with a brick wall of happiness. I just had a moment where I couldn't stop smiling. I was the happiest I have been in months, maybe even a year, and I couldn't stop smiling. Even if someone brought a kitten to my face and SHOT it, my smile would shine through the blood. I brought to tears but not those of sadness and sorrow, but of bliss and blithe. It was a surreal feeling I have only felt on rare occasions, and it was brought upon by something so small. I could understand 3 small, slowed down, broken sentences in Danish. Such a small accomplishment but I felt as if I had just graduated with a major in Danish and its only been two weeks. There was only one thing that could have made that moment better, if I could have shared that moment of pure joy with my love, Danielle.
I miss everyone back in the States, only because I wish I could share all of this with you. I am sure you would love it here Mom, huge plots of Christmas trees.
Till I write again Farvel.
Knus,
Greg

This is a deep post, I can see it really means a lot to you to become immersed in the Danish culture and learn the language. Plots of Christmas trees sounds like a surreal experience also.
