LIFE LATELY

May 18, 2018

Life is busy right now. Both mentally and physically. Albrecht is working a lot, my school schedule keeps me busy while we also try to wedding plan and teach Albrecht how to ballroom dance for our first dance ;-). I´m also still figuring this whole going to university thing out, which includes writing papers, understanding research papers and studying for exams.

I´m trying to be ahead with packing for our wedding. There is just so much stuff that we need to take and so much going on right before the wedding that I´m trying to cross of as much of my list as possible. I was putting these flowers into vases and into this box the other day to be able to safely transport them to our wedding location and thought it looked so pretty! I never intended to have it be this pink but I LOVE all the love that went into these 200 paper flowers.

I decided to sew my veil myself just because then I can customize the length and lace etc.. I didnt want to take the risk of ordering something online but also didnt want to spend a ton of money. So I´ve been spending my evenings like this – sewing this veil by hand while watching old royal weddings 😀

I tried out this yummy glutenfree cake the other day. It was so good and a hit with Albrecht. Eating it you didnt even realize that it was glutenfree, it tasted like a normal cake would.

For whatever reason I´v been craving french fries with greek zaziki and yesterday I finally ate some. So good!

 We learned something lately: in this crazy world we live in its sometimes cheaper to buy things than to rent them. So we bought 18 huge table clothes 😀 to safe money I decided to wash and iron them myself. Dont mind the missing ironing bord, the bed is just as good 😀

So thats what I´ve been doing. Ironing…Ironing…

6 down, 12 to go!

Last night Albrecht and I made us of the rare occasion that we are both home and the good weather and took a walk along the Rhein. So pretty!

We are having a quiet weekend with papers to write and table clothes to iron 😉 wishing you a very relaxing and fulling weekend!

Lots of love,

Madita

HAPPY MONDAY: AMSTERDAM EDITION

May 14, 2018

Happy Monday!!

May 1st is a holiday in Germany so almost a year ago, since we realized our calenders were full before we knew it, we decided to take a trip on this long weekend. The date was set since then the destination so much haha we decided to go to Amsterdam pretty last minute. We wanted to have a nice hotel with a spa while also being in a big city to be able to go out for dinner!

I already told you this on friday but I was exhaused going into this weekend! I was very excited but very exhausted.

Annalena and I drove to Amsterdam, Janis flew in from Berlin and we all met at the hotel. The most important thing you need to know about our weekend: it rained! All weekend! The minute we set found in this city until the minute we left it, it rained. Before was sunshine and afterwards too – just not while we were there! It gave me the perfect reason to sleep in, work out (we had a beautiful gym at the hotel!), enjoy the pool and saune etc.. but it also created some tension because kind of being locked in a room/hotel for 3 days with 3 people is sometimes a little too much. We made the most of it, and we also had two rooms which made it kind of fun to go from one to the next but it also limited our options seeing the city wise. I left Amsterday after the weekend pretty relaxed and sleeping in, working out, pool and saune and having time to read was just what I needed – plus time with friends does wonder to my heart and soul! City-wise: we enjoyed our evening dinners and did some shopping but nothing major. Which was not a huge downfall since we all had been to Amsterdam before and we also didnt come to Amsterdam primarily to do sight seeing.

Here are my Amsterdam impressions:

LIFE LATELY

May 11, 2018

For us in Germany its a long weekend, yesterday was a holiday which usually turns into a 4 days weekend for everyone. Not me this week because I have school 3 out of 4 days but still, lives moves a little slower on these days.

My dad was texting me the other day saying “you should start blogging again” – and he is right! Sometimes, life changing moments give me all the words and sometimes I have non at all afterwards. With my mom having had a stroke and our family dynamic totally changing it has been just that. All the words and then non at all.

I had a lot of school during the last two weeks and tried to squeeze in some family time.
