LIFE LATELY

Life lately has been a week full of school and getting on with wedding preperations. It has also been a week for more healing and new normalcy. We still pick up on the smallest things, especially at night, and make sure that everyone and everything is fine. Out trust that ‘everything is alright’ has not fully come back but thats ok. Its still a time of and for extra selfcare so that we heal but also to be able to carry a little bit of extra load from someone else.

Since I didnt take a single picture this week. Here is a day by day review 🙂

Last weekend:

We visited a good friend of Albrecht and his girlfriend on Saturday in Wuppertal. The weather was beautiful. Sunny and warm and we sat outside and has coffee! I wish I had takes at least one picture, because it was gorgeous!

We made a quick stop at Ikea to by carafes for our wedding and met a bunch of really good friends from Cantare for Dinner!

LIFE LATELY

Life lately has taught us drastically how fast life can change. And we are still trying to grasp that.

In theory I know really well to cherish every moment, to love and care well and to visit our parents and grandparents often. I find joy in the flowers my mom gifts us and those notes she writes me in responde to my blog posts. But not until the day we were faced with the fact that she may never be well enough to gift us flowers or ever read again, those last gift mean the world to you while simotaniously break you.

REVIEW 2017 – PART TWO

And I´m back!!

Let me tell you something: I absolutely dread having things not work technical-wise with my blog. I deleted my WordPress App on my phone a couple of weeks ago since it failed to upload 3 full posts I had fully written and there was no freaking way to get online except to write it again. And one time it even deleted the post after a failed attempt to upload it. THE WORST. I decided to write more on my laptop and if needed throught the browser on my phone. What I learned the hard way tho: do not leave on a trip without a laptop if you do not want to have a blogging break! For whatever reason in the middle of writing this post things did not work anymore. I could not upload a single picture from my phone to the blog and even though it showed the pictures from my last post some pictures where upside down and I had no clue how to fix it.

Now I´m back though and we will play a little catch up. Here is, as promised, part two of 2017. You can read part one here

 

July

July was awesome. I finished school way better than I expected, flew to Canada to visit my hostfamily for the first time in 8 year (it felt SO GOOD to be back!!) !

REVIEW 2017 – PART ONE

The end of the year is quickly approaching so I thought it would be fun to do a review of 2017!

Since I can not decide on just one picture per month I devided this post into two. I will post the second part out of schedule on Sunday!

January

 We celebrated New Years in Überlingen at the Lake of Constance with good friends and had such a good time! On our way we picked up wood for the Carpentry. VIEW POST

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Our new home – be our guest!

Hello world!!

I´m back!!! I´m not going to lie – I have missed blogging. There have been days where it was easier not to but I´m so happy we have FINNALY Internet and things have settled down.

And after a lot of unpacking I´m ready to share pictures of our new home! Here and there are still pieces missing – link a picture or sign we would like to have above our bed or optimizing the space – but for the most part we are set. And it truly feels like home! I’m so excited to, lord willing, spend the next few years here before we hopefully settle somewhere permanent and maybe have a place of our own. For now though I’m so excited for this little place we will create precious memories in of us being newlywed and still at school or starting work. I will hold those memories near and dear as I already do with this place.

Happy Monday No. 10 – new flat edition

Happy Monday everybody!

I’m SO EXCITED but also SO! exhausted. We have spent the weekend moving into a flat on the 3rd floor without an elevator and I’m telling you it was no joke!! We were up until 2 and up again at 8. Thank God for my husband who is able to carry our entire household three stories up!!

It’s Monday and this week is off to a really new start for me. Our new flat makes me happy and I already feel really at home it’s still a big mess and until I have pictures of the finished flat here a few pictures before we moved in.

Our Entry/Hallway. Right corner: My sisters Katharina room (who will move in with us ), next to it out bedroom and next to that our office/guest bedroom. Not shown are the door to the kitchen which would be right in the left corner. Bathroom is through the kitchen. VIEW POST

Love captured: City Hall Wedding pictures!

Good Wednesday 😍

Our dear friend  Jan took our City Hall Wedding pictures a while back. Albrecht+I went to the city hall to get legally married in August (in Germany a wedding at a church takes place seperately from the legal part at the city hall) and I wanted a few pictures to capture that special time of our life. Photographs are such a special way of opening doors to wonderful memories. In a few years I will probably not marvel about what I wore that day but I will gush about that day full of love by looking at these pictures. And maybe it´s also the Canadian-side in me who is in love with family pictures lol. So one day we met up with our dear friend Jan at sunset and thanks to him we now have more than a few pictures 😉 here are my favorites…

When life is hard…

Hello world!

I´m not going to lie the last few weeks life has been hard! And I would rather not write about and shout it into the universe for the whole world to read. But I promised myself to keep up this blog. Instead of disappearing until my world is nice and easy again I will just share my life with you – and still see the good in all the craziness.
