Eighteen Days!

I'm currently enjoying my first weekend off after working 18 days in a row. I am tired. Tired doesn't even cut it, I'm exhausted and need to remind myself to slow down and just relax instead of running around all weekend trying to clean the house, run errands and attempting to catch up on things. 


Ich geniesse momentan mein erstes freies Wochenende, nachdem ich 18 Tage hintereinander durchgearbeitet habe. Ich bin muede. Muede ist noch nicht einmal der richtige Ausdruck, ich bin erschoepft und muss mich selbst daran erinnern, es langsam angehen zu lassen und einfach nur zu entspannen, anstatt das ganze Wochenende herum zu rennen und das Haus zu putzen, Besorgungen zu machen und versuchen, Versaeumtes nachzuholen.


Last weekend was our biggest Show of the year and the preparations for it seemed endless, but in the end so worth it, because we had an awesome Show, with almost 48,000 attendees and a lot of happy exhibitors.
The line to get into the Show...


Letztes Wochenende hatten wir die groesste Show des Jahres und die Vorbereitungen dafuer fuehlten sich an, als wuerden sie kein Ende nehmen, aber am Ende war es das wert, denn wir hatten eine super Show mit fast 48,000 Besuchern und vielen gluecklichen Ausstellern. 
Die Schlange um in die Show zu kommen...
It makes me smile Every.Single.Time and feeling proud of what I do when I drive down the freeway or street and see the billboards, bus shelters and other ads that I created...


Ich muss jedesmal laecheln und bin stolz auf meine Arbeit, wenn ich ueber die Autobahn oder die Strasse fahre und unsere Reklametafeln und anderen Werbungen, die ich gestaltet habe, sehe...
But if you think I'm getting a break after working a few 80-hour weeks, think again, because the next Show is only six weeks away!
It might be stressful at times, but I love going to work every day, love the responsibilities and the variety of my job and that is probably more than most people can say. Feeling grateful. Grateful and TIRED!:) 
And now I can hear my bed calling my name... Good Night everyone!


Aber falls ihr denkt, dass ich nun eine Pause bekomme, nachdem ich ein paar 80-Stunden-Wochen hinter mich gebracht habe, dann habt ihr euch getaeuscht, denn die naechste Show ist bereits in sechs Wochen!
Es mag zwar ab und an stressig sein, aber ich gehe jeden Tag gerne zur Arbeit, mag die Verantwortung und Abwechslung, die mein Job mich sich bringt und das ist vermutlich mehr, als manch andere sagen koennen. Ich fuehle mich sehr dankbar. Dankbar und MUEDE!:)
Und nun ruft mein Bett nach mir... Gute Nacht!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
