One of the most famous german woman living in the US is model Heidi Klum. Heidi Klum and I do not only share our home Country, but also the same home town. We both were born and raised in Bergisch Gladbach, which is just outside of Cologne. I am not a big Heidi fan, but I do love something she does a lot! It’s this every year a new wedding thing. As you may know she marries Seal every year in different style weddings.

I will say yes to Flo for the second time next Saturday. On August 28 2009 we married in a civil ceremony, this year our best friends will pronounce us man and wife for the second time. And next year we may marry in Vegas on the same day. A Vegas wedding was always Flo’s dream – actually it used to be the only wedding Flo could imagine for himself. And we also promised our american friends Jeana and Scott another wedding, because they won’t be able to attend this year’s.

I actually would love to say yes to Flo every year, because I love weddings and I love him. And it would be kind of cute to bring this half german tradition of Heidi Klum to the US again! I actually do have a theme for our fourth wedding, which I would definitely celebrate as a Halloween wedding with everyone getting dressed up and me and Flo being a zombie bride and groom.

So question is, if that fourth wedding will be celebrated in the US or in Germany depending on where we will have our lifes, our friends and our hearts in two years!

This is part two of my wish list for things I wanna get done when I live in the US. You can catch up with part one in the previous entry below or continue right here. I also wanna say thanks to everyone who posted their suggestions for things I should do when I live in the US! The one I liked most naturally was the cake shop Tanja suggested. Those cakes look delicious! But for now I have to keep my figure to fit my wedding dress in a few weeks, so let’s continue with the list…

6. I wanna go to a mani-pedi
Yes, for sure we do have cosmetics shops in Germany, where you can get manicures and pedicures. But I love the shops I always see in the gossip mags I read. I so wanna sit in a comfy chair, treat my feet to a bath and get some super glossy red nails. And do not pay a fortune for it!

7. I wanna drink as much Arizona Ice Tea as I like
Do you know the drink Arizona Ice Tea? I do not only adore the cute bottles, but love the taste! In Germany you have to pay over three Euros for a small bottle of it. On our first day in San Francisco in May I nearly were in shock, when I saw that they sell that stuff for a dollar in the US! So, on my first day with my own fridge I will buy a gallon of Arizona Ice Tea!

8. I wanna drive a Chevrolet Silverado
I love big cars! My biggest problem over here is that I can’t park a car into regular parking spots! And: You can’t easily buy cars like the Chevy Silverado here – neither can you afford the gas. Our friend Scott has a Chevy Silverado. Last time we met him, he offered me to drive his car, but I was too scared. Next time I will do it!

9. I wanna sit on the Friends couch
Last time we were in Los Angeles, Flo and me thought about doing a VIP tour at the Warner Brothers Studios. I especially wanted to do this tour, because I am a huge Friends fan and always wanted to sit on the Friends couch to have a picture of myself sitting on it. Last time we didn’t have had time for the tour, I am not sure if we’ll have time in October, but I will show you that picture eventually!

10. I wanna marry in Vegas
When I first met Flo he told me that he’ll never marry a girl. And if he would out of any reason it would be in Vegas. Flo is going to marry me for the second time in August – the first one was a civil ceremony, this year’s one will be a more private one. So even if it took him three yes do fullfill his dream, our next wedding will be in Vegas!

The train I take to work every morning passes by Frankfurt airport, which is an international airport where many long distance flights depart. This morning I had a group of teenagers in the train with me. They were going on a four-week-long educational trip to California, were very excited about it and couldn’t stop talking. I normally can’t stand it when people entertain the whole train with their talk in the morning, but this one was to good to be overheard or to be annyoing.

Those kids were so damn cute with their big dreams and naive thoughts about the time ahead of them. The girl that stood next to me was going to stay at a family in Chino for the four weeks. I guess this girl knew Chino from the TV series The OC, where the main character Ryan is a Chino resident. So I guess she thought Chino has some kind of Hollywood glamour and is next to the coast! That girl actually thought that she would land in a TV series world, where girls wear bikinis to school and where it is always 38° Celcius, sunny and everyone is doing great!

The cutest statement I overheard from her, was: “It will be so hot in Los Angeles right now. About 38° Celcius I read on the internet. When we will do our trip to Las Vegas for the weekend we will be freezing!” Freezing in the desert would be knew to me! Freezing in Las Vegas also would! But it got even cuter!

The girl totally freaked out about the customs check at the airport. She told all the other girls that you MUST tell the customs that you brought food to the US with you, because otherwise they will open your suitcase. She than got totally freaked out, because she seemed to have a bag of gummibears in gift wrap and guess what another girl told her: “You can’t do that! You will be in big trouble, because the X-Rays at the airport can’t scan through gift wrap and they will think that you carry a bomb or something dangerous with you!”

Luckily our arrival to Frankfurt airport interrupted their talk! I still wonder, if the girl unpacked her suitcase before the flight to rip off the gift wrap and what customs told her when she announced that she brought food with her from Germany! But even if I have to laugh a lot about their naivity, a part of me wishes to be that age again, to go to the US without a care and only with great expectations and to know that no matter how the trip will turn out to be I will go back into mommy’s arms after four weeks anyways!
