Posts Tagged ‘America’

Right now I am so busy planning and preparing our wedding at the end of August that I don’t even have time to think about Greencards, emmigration and everything else that comes with it. What I do think about a lot though is America, because I love american weddings and try to bring a lot of it into my own wedding.

To save money for our big US dream I am doing most things on my own. Therefor my biggest hobby in the last weeks is crafting. And my biggest inspiration for that is the Martha Stewart homepage. I guess I will go crazy once I live in the US and are able to see her TV show. Flo and I do have a deal, that I am allowed to furnish and decorate our first american home, because he kind of did everything in our current flat. But I guess that he is panicking about that right now, because he sees to what I am able with all the wedding decorations.

The colour theme for our wedding for sure is red, blue and white. We will have cupcakes, a cute little graduation-style cake, a candy table and everything else that is american to us. We also do have bridesmaids and groomsmen, which everyone here thinks is totally strange.

I hope that all the wedding stress is not taking up our whole strength, which we need for the months after it. But right now I am so looking forward to that day. Not only because it will hopefully be the happiest day of my life or because it will be how I imagined it to be. The most important thing for me is to celebrate with all the people I love, because this may be the last time I can do it for the rest of my life!

Germany is going crazy, only I am not! I will make it official now: I am not cheering for the german team! Actually I am not cheering for any team, because I am not into soccer at all. And I would go as far as to say that for me soccer championships are even worth than carnival! I can not understand why people,who most of the year or even the most time of their lives do not give a shit about soccer, suddenly act like lunatics when they hear the name „Lukas Podolski“!

I used to work at a sports mag and I could somehow understand the passion with which my male colleagues loved their favourite sport. But only, because those guys had been into soccer since their births, I guess! Actually I always hope that Germany loses a game and gets kicked out of the championships so that I don’t have to cope with all that soccer stuff following me everywhere anymore!

But you know what: At the next European Soccer Championship in 2012 I won’t have to worry about that soccer anymore, because I will be far far away from all the crazyness! And be nearer to sports I love like Motocross, Ice Hockey or Skateboarding! God Bless America!

Dear America,

last time I told you, what I love about you. Today I tell you, what I would love to change about you!

1. I hate that you are so far away and that flying to Germany from you not only takes loooooooooong, but that it gives me hell!

2. I hate that you will seperate me from my friends and family and that you are in another time zone.

3. I hate that your food will make me fat sooner or later and that I will have to begin doing sports very soon, because of that!

4. I hate that your language sometimes gives me a hard time and will make the job hunt harder than it already is!

5. I hate that your people can’t spell my name when they just hear it. I am not called Jenin, Jamie, Jennie or Jemin!

6. I hate that you gave me a chance, that I can not reject!

7. I hate that you have so nice beaches and landscapes, because I will not see much of them when I am not still coming to you for vacation.

8. I hate that you are my dream, because me moving will hurt a lot people including myself!

9. I hate that you are my biggest challenge in life so far and maybe will be the challenge of my lifetime! You are supposed to be my dream and dreams are nice!

10. I hate that I love you so much and can’t resist you!

XOXO
