The Happiest Place on Earth!

Katie and I took advantage of our three day weekend and went on a little road trip to L.A. We spent New Years Eve in Disneyland and boy...it was crowded! 

Katie und ich haben unser Drei-Tage-Wochenende ausgenutzt und sind machten einen kleinen Roadtrip nach L.A.
Wir haben Silvester im Disneyland verbracht und man...war es voll dort!

It was the last day they had all of their Christmas decorations up and I loved having another day of Christmas Cheer!:)

Es war der letzte Tag, wo sie noch alle Weihnachtsdekorationen hatten und ich liebte es, einen weiteren Tag Weihnachtsstimmung zu haben!:)



Toon Town is one of my favorite place in Disneyland and we saw a lot of the characters there, but didn't want to wait in line for over an hour just to snap a picture with them.

Mickey's Stadt ist einer meiner Lieblingsplaetze im Disneyland und wir sahen dort Mickey, Minnie und Goofy, aber wollten nicht fuer eine Stunde in einer Schlange anstehen, nur um ein Foto mit ihnen zu machen. 


The rides were so crowded that you had to wait for at least an hour to enjoy the three minute ride, we did a few, but I mostly enjoyed walking around the park and watching the parade (no pictures of the parade this time...).

Die Fahrgeschaefte waren so ueberfuellt, dass man fuer mindestens eine Stunde anstehen musste um eine dreiminuetige Fahrt zu machen, wir haben ein paar gemacht, aber ich habe es zum groessten Teil genossen im Park herumzulaufen und die Parade anzuschauen (keine Fotos von der Parade diesmal...).





At night they did a beautiful light show, lit up the castle and all the holiday decorations and they even managed to make it snow! It was gorgeous!

Als es dunkel wurde, haben sie eine wunderschoene Lichtershow gemacht, das Schloss und alle Weihnachtsdekorationen waren beleuchtet und sie haben es sogar schneien lassen! Es war unglaublich!


We also went to California Adventure across the street and Katie claims the favorite part of her trip was when we went to the 3D Show: "It's tough to be a bug".

Wir sind ausserdem zum California Adventure Park gegenueber gegangen und Katie behauptet, der beste Teil des Wochenendes war, als sie die 3D Show "It's tough to be a bug" gesehen hat. 

My favorite part of the trip on the other hand was the next day, when we went to Redondo and Venice Beach! Did ya know I love the beach? You probably heard me say this a million times, but I just have to say it again: I looooove love love the beach! Sit me on a beach with the smell of the ocean, the sound of crashing waves and I couldn't be happier.

Der beste Teil meines Wochenendes war hingegen der naechste Tag, als wir zum Redondo und Venice Strand gefahren sind. Wusstet ihr, dass ich den Strand liebe? Ihr habt es bestimmt schon eine Million Mal von mir gehoert, aber ich muss es einfach nochmal sagen: Ich liiiiiiebe liebe liebe den Strand! Setz mich an den Strand mit dem Geruch des Meeres und dem Sound von den Wellen und ich koennte nicht gluecklicher sein. 



Remember the TV Show "The O.C."? I used to love it and watched it every week with my California Girls. The Pier where some of the Show takes place (it was actually supposed to be a pier in Newport Beach, but this is where those scenes were filmed)  happened to be the Redondo Beach Pier. 

Erinnert ihr euch an die Fernsehserie "O.C. California"? Ich habe diese Show mal geliebt und  jede Woche mit meinen California Maedels angeschaut. Der Pier (nennt man das im deutschen so???) wo manche Szenen der Show stattfinden (in der Serie soll der Pier in Newport Beach sein, aber hier ist, wo die Szenen gefilmt wurden) war am Redondo Beach Pier. 

This is a scene from the Show

Hier ist eine Szene von der Show

And here's me :)

Und hier bin ich :)

It was such a fun trip! Re-energized for some busy weeks ahead!

Es war ein toller Kurztrip und nun bin ich bereit und gut erholt fuer ein paar stressige Wochen auf der Arbeit!

Happy New Year!

Frohes neues Jahr!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
