One Year in Arizona!

Heute vor genau einem Jahr bin ich nach Arizona gezogen! Ich kann gar nicht glauben, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht. Nun bin ich schon seit 2.5 Jahren in den USA und nach 9 Monaten San Jose,  9 Monaten Sacramento und einem Jahr Phoenix muss ich sagen, dass ich mein Zuhause gefunden habe. Ich liebe es hier und haette ich die Wahl, leben zu koennen wo ich wollte, so wuerde ich dennoch hier bleiben.
Okay, 45 Grad im Sommer sind etwas uebertrieben, aber selbst bei solchen Temperaturen stelle ich mir vor, wie ich im Juli in Deutschland bei 19 Grad und Regen sitzen wuerde und da ist mir die Sonne doch immer noch lieber. Jeder Tag ist fuer mich Urlaub hier und manchmal kann ich mein Glueck gar nicht fassen. Das einzige, was ich hier vermisse, ist der Strand. Das letzte Mal, dass ich am Strand war, war vor sieben Monaten an Thanksgiving in Mexico, ich hoffe, dass wir dieses Jahr wieder mit Katie's Familie hinfahren!
Dieses Wochenende ist Independence Day, was eigentlich bedeutet, dass wir hier einen Feiertag und somit frei haben, nur leider faellt es dieses Jahr auf einen Samstag und somit gibt es in meinem Job keinen extra Tag frei. Wir werden das Wochenende mit Katie's Familie in deren Ferienhaus in Show Low verbringen, was ungefaehr drei Stunden von hier entfernt ist und in den Bergen liegt, von daher wird es wohl um einiges kuehler sein... ich freue mich schon.
Wuensche euch noch eine schoene Woche! Bis bald!

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...
