Valentine's Day Projects

So I had the brilliant idea to create handmade valentines to send to the state this year, still trying to decide if this was genious or a big mistake! If you are thinking about making home made valentines day gifts and are crazy like myself (I know you are out there!) here are some great ideas on the net.

Puppenhaus Museum

So I spent the evening indulging in childhood pursuits aka doll houses, dolls, etc... and found this really neat place http://www.puppenhausmuseum.ch/. Shaun has said he will take me there for my birthday...yay! In other news we think we have found a house in Essligen am Neckar and we are both very excited.

GASP...SIGH...LOVE!

Yes I know I already posted today but...if you get a chance check out these beautiful  wedding photo's at Make it Perfect http://tonicoward.blogspot.com/2011/01/celebrating-in-garden.html! If I ever get married again, to my very best friend Mr. C of course I would love it if it was as cute as this:

And to all of you who may say I can't marry Shaun again, my question is why can't I when he is so perfect?

Busy Day

Yesterday was a long day of house and job hunting. We saw two apartments but neither one was perfect...or even close. The first http://site13.isbb.my-onoffice.de/neue_seite_14.xhtml?objekt_auswahl=&sortierung=ind_598_Feld_ObjTech2&seiten=1&uebersicht=1&Id=298&language=ENG  was in a lovely neighborhood, Pliezhasen but the ceilings were so low Shaun did not fit well, and the master bath was larger than the master bedroom! The second apartment was right next to an energy plant, the picture to the right is not what we want to see every morning. It also was very strange with a children's music school below. We were assured that the children would not bother us, but even on our first visit a child ran into us *grin*.

For dinner we attended our first Volksmarching membership meeting. What is Volksmarching? It's a lot like walking *grin*. You can learn more about it at http://www.sgawc.org/. Shaun and I might take Eggs for a walk this weekend. At then end of the day we were all pretty exhausted. I think it is the time of day for best friends.

Shaun and Eggs enjoying best friend time last Sunday.

Happy Birthday Mimi!

2010 was a big year for my sister, full of marriages, babies and family. While the year has been busy and at times just a little crazy I have never seen her so happy. As she begins her 29th year I wish her all the love and excitement possible as she continues the life changes with her little family of two (soon to be three!).
