An Update // My Life Lately

So much was happening round here - and I didn't even find any time to share it with you, my lovely readers!
The biggest change might probably be this:

Yep, I am officially married to the love of my life now! It was just us at the court house. We will celebrate with my friends and family in Germany next year. I hope you understand that I don't share any more pictures. It was a really private moment, just the 2 of us.

My friend Laura made us this awesome wedding "cake" :oD isn't it great? I met Laura at a local coffee shop during the world cup. We were watching the finals together (which Germany won, just in case you don't remember LOL). While talking we found out we are both from Trier, Germany, PLUS: our sisters back in Germany work together. Life is crazy sometimes!!!! Well, we are super duper happy we found each other! It's so crazy... Be both "end up" in this little town in southern Arkansas...of all places...

Well ... anywho...
M and I did manage it to sneak away for 3 days after the wedding to have a mini Honeymoon. Since it was on both of our bucket lists, we decided to drive down to New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a wonderful drive through 3 states.

    

How beautiful is America? I was speechless a couple of times. We left super early, before sunrise! So on our way I've managed to take this picture:

I took tons of pictures, so be prepared to see some NOLA overload on here during the next week(s). I hope you don't mind! For today I will stop writing, and share some pictures I took on our way:

Tired. // Just Write

Around 4 hours of sleep. That's it. My body won't give me any more lately.
I go to bed tired.

The alarm makes me wake up tired.

Coffee makes me feel ok from 8am till 11am.

After that, the yawning starts again.

I can hardly focus. I have to write down every little to-do, so I won't forget it.

I work.
I go home.

I cook.
I have dinner.
I have a phone date with my Schatzi.
After that, I would be ready to go to bed again. 

Every day.

At 8pm. Latest.

But I try to stay awake. I go to the gym. Or read. Watch TV. Do laundry or clean the house.
But every minute hurts. I don't have any energy.

I hope everything will go back to normal again. Soon.

3rd day in the 100s // Recipe to cool you down!

It's hot in Germany... Today is the 3rd day in a row we will have temperatures in the 100s. Which wouldn't be all bad, cause I LOVE the heat! BUT: AC is pretty uncommon in Germany. Sitting at my office now and it's already about 90F in here. Last night the outside temperature didn't go below 73F. I had the fan next to my pillow. Living on the top level of a 150+ year old house sucks. And what's wrong with this cat?? She still wants to cuddle up. Ugh.

So I want to repost one of my favourite summer recipes! Enjoy!
