Property Brothers

The perks of working for the Home Shows presented itself last weekend when our company hired HGTV's Property Brothers to come out to our Show! Some of you might wonder who the heck the Property Brothers are...especially if you don't live in the US.

Mein Job kann manchmal ganz schoen stressig sein, aber am vergangenen Wochenende durfte ich die Vorteile meines Jobs geniessen, als unsere Firma HGTV's Property Brothers fuer unsere Show einfliegen liess! Einige von euch werden sich fragen, wer zum Teufel die Property Brothers sind ... vor allem, wenn ihr nicht in den USA lebt.
They are twin brothers who have their own TV Show on HGTV. One of them is a Realtor, the other a Contractor, and together they help families find, buy, and transform fixer-uppers into dream homes on a strict time-line and strict budget.
Here's a short video clip of their Show!

Sie sind Zwillingsbrüder, die ihre eigene TV-Show auf HGTV haben. Einer von ihnen ist ein Immobilienmakler, der andere ein Handwerker, und zusammen helfen sie Familien Haeuser zu finden, kaufen und dann in ihr Traumhaus zu verwandeln, und das alle mit einem strengen Zeitlimit und Budget.

Hier ist ein kurzes Video von ihrer Show!


They were so much fun! I didn't realize how popular they are until thousands of people came out just to see them, fighting over the best seats and lining up to get in hours before the event. It was nuts! Seriously, one lady even arrived at 6:30am and waited until 10am when the doors opened... And on top of that, a 71yr old great grandma asked for a job with us just to be in the same room with the Brothers. Obviously we didn't offer her a job but we did give her the hook up with the dudes, and now she's my friend for life. 

Wir hatten viel Spass mit ihnen! Mir war nicht bewusst, wie beliebt sie sind, bis Tausende von Menschen kamen, nur um sie zu sehen, sich um die besten Plätze stritten und Stunden vor der Veranstaltung darauf warteten, eingelassen zu werden. Es war verrückt! Ganz im Ernst, eine Frau kam sogar um 6:30 Uhr und wartete bis 10.00 Uhr, als wir oeffneten ... Und dann war da noch eine 71-jaehrige Uroma, die mich fragte, ob sie einen Job bei uns haben koennte, nur um im selben Raum mit den Brüdern zu sein. Natuerlich haben wir ihr keinen Job gegeben, aber wir haben ihr ein Treffen mit den Jungs verschafft, und jetzt ist sie meine Freundin fürs Leben.


They each held one seminar and we also had a private Meet & Greet with the Brothers. 

Sie haben jeweils ein Seminar gehalten und wir hatten ausserdem ein privates Meet & Greet mit den Brüdern.

I expected them to be snobby, but it turned out that they were super nice and personable. 

Ich erwartete, dass sie arrogant sein wuerden, aber es stellte sich heraus, dass sie super nett und sympathisch waren.

Katie is already researching who we're going to bring out next time! I was voting for Martha Stewart, but her fee is like 2 million... so screw that! :)

Katie ueberlegt bereits, wen wir beim naechsten Mal engagieren sollen! Ich habe für Martha Stewart gestimmt, aber sie kostete so um die 2 Millionen...also wurde die Idee ganz schnell in die Tonne gekloppt! :)

  1. Ich schaue die Show von den beiden Brüdern total gerne. Toll, daß ihr sie persönlich kennengelernt habt. Auf den Fotos sehen die Beiden so groß aus, das ist mir im TV gar nicht aufgefallen. Oder seid ihr alle so klein ;-)))?

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...
