Today is christmas day in our new home. In our old home – where we spent the last two weeks – christmas eve was yesterday! Flo and I celebrated together with both our familys and had a wonderful time with a lovely dinner. Flo and I gave each other the trip to Germany for christmas. The trip was supposed to be a bit more relaxing, but we still had a great time with our family and friends.

Tomorrow – just in time for the end of christmas – Flo and I are gonna go home. Home now means going to Los Angeles for us. And yes, we already miss it like hell! This week I showed my dad some of the photos we took during the last year and really got homesick. Even if we only spent 11 months in the US so far, we both think that the decision to move there was the best we could make! A friend lately asked us, if we regret moving to Los Angeles sometimes. And we both honestly and without thinking too long said that we havent regreted it once so far!

Moving is not for everyone. Especially because you leave so many friends and your family behind. But for Flo and me it means the world to have the chance to live in Los Angeles. To be happy there and to have a second home!

I hope everyone had a great christmas, that you spent it with all the people you love and that you can start the new year happy and with a lot of dreams to fullfil!

Today Flo and I are gonna jump on a plane and fly to Germany. We will be coming back to our new home the US in two weeks. But still, this trip is gonna be exciting. It’s gonna be our first time in Germany since we moved here. We will see a lot of people that we haven’t been seeing for a whole year. And we will spend christmas with our families.

The whole trip – even before we are leaving – is a little stressful. We both will have to work in Germany and there is so much stuff (like christmas presents) to plan and take care off. Yesterday we decided to take a break. We drove down to Huntington Beach, took a long barefoot walk on the beach and just relaxed. It was the best thing to do, because not only was the weather beautiful. It also reminded us why we live here and how much we love living here!

I already know that I will miss the beach and the weather a lot when we are in Germany! But we will be back soon. Back at our new home, in our new lifes and with our new friends!

This weekend was Flo and my’s last weekend before we are going to leave for our german vacation. We wanted to make the best out of it, relax a little and for sure get a little more into the christmas spirit. And I’m glad to say, we accomplished all of that. We started our weekend on Friday Night with a date night at Cafe Med in Hollywood.

On Saturday we slept in, walked to the Hollywood Blvd to do some shopping and have a coffee and relaxed a little. At 6 we met some friends to see the Muppet movie at the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. If you happen to be a Muppet fan and in LA right now, you should definitely take the chance to see the movie there. Before the movie Kermit and Miss Piggy take the stage and sing Christmas songs with the audience! Even if I kind of forgot about the Muppets, I enjoyed that night a lot!

Today we met our german friends from Irvine. After driving around Newport Beach for a little they took us to Balboa Island to check out the Christmas decorations down there. Some house owners went totally overboard, but it was still amazing to just stroll down the streets and look at the houses! If you live here, drive down there and try to spot the Teddy Bear house. I bet, you will not miss that one!

For everyone who is too far away to visit Balboa or the Muppets: Enjoy the pics and have yourself a very merry pre-christmas time!
