May Days

Can you believe it's already May? 
We just finished our Home Show last weekend and from January until now, we had one Show after the other, which is probably why my days, weeks and months were flying by. Our next Show isn't until August, so it'll be nice to have a little break and I can't wait for all of the fun that this month promises.
"Treasure Hunts" at Goodwill, Birthday Parties and our 5th Year Anniversary are just the beginning, followed with my Citizenship Test on the 14th! I've been studying for weeks now, but it kind of seems like this test is going to be a joke...and just because I said it, I will fail...haha. We'll see, so cross your fingers for me!
The real excitement won't start until later that night though, when I'm leaving for Germany... leaving for Home! 
I'm looking forward to seeing my family, my friends and eating everything I've been dreaming of for the last 18 months. And yes, I made a list of all of the foods I need to eat while I'm there!
I'm looking forward to having movie nights with my mom, going to amusement parks with my brothers, knitting sessions with my grandma, bicycle trips to the Netherlands with my dad, a family reunion, shopping trips and catching up with my cousin, the third Cali-Girls Reunion in Cologne, and re-living the past with some of my best friends. 
I probably have to re-schedule my flight and stay for a month, judging from the list of activities that I want to do and people I want to see there...why yes, I made a list for that, too!
Please, please, please, let there be sun when I'm there! I don't care about the cold, but I can't stand the rain!
It'll be a great month! Feeling blessed.

Könnt ihr glauben, dass es schon Mai ist?
Letztes Wochenende hatten wir unsere Home Show und von Januar bis jetzt hatten wir eine Show nach der anderen, was wahrscheinlich der Grund dafuer ist, warum meine Tage, Wochen und Monate nur so davon geflogen sind. Unsere nächste Show ist erst im August, von daher ist es ganz schön, eine kleine Pause zu haben und in diesem Monat warten viele tolle Tage auf mich, ich kann es kaum erwarten!

"Schatzsuche" bei Goodwill, Geburtstagsparties und unser 5. Jahrestag sind erst der Anfang, gefolgt von meinem amerikanischen Staatbuergerschaftstest am 14.! Ich bin bereits seit Wochen am lernen, aber es scheint als wuerde dieser Test ein Kinderspiel werden ...und nur weil ich das jetzt gesagt habe, werde ich durchfallen... haha​​. Wir werden sehen, also drueckt mir die Daumen!

Der richtige Spass beginnt aber erst etwas spaeter an diesem Tag, wenn ich nach Deutschland fliege...nach Hause!
Ich freue mich darauf meine Familie und Freunde zu sehen und alles zu essen, wovon ich in den letzten 18 Monaten getraeumt habe. Und ja, ich habe eine Liste aller Dinge gemacht, die ich essen muss, während ich dort bin!

Ich freue mich auf DVD Abende mit meiner Mutter, zu Vergnügungsparks mit meinen Brüdern zu gehen, Stricken mit meiner Oma, Radtouren in die Niederlande mit meinem Vater, ein grosses Familientreffen, Shoppen und Quatschen mit meiner Cousine, die dritte Cali-Girls Reunion in Köln, und auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit mit einigen meiner besten Freunde.

Wenn ich auf die Liste der Aktivitaeten, die ich machen moechte, und die Leute die ich sehen moechte schaue, denke ich, dass ich vermutlich meinen Flug umbuchen und meinen Aufenthalt für einen Monat verlaengern muss, um alles zu schaffen...klar, dafuer gibt es auch eine Liste!

Bitte, bitte, bitte, lass es nicht regnen, wenn ich da bin! Die Kaelte ist mir egal, aber Regen kann ich nicht ausstehen!

Es wird ein guter Monat!

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...
