So, Flo and me will board a plane to our last vacation before the US tomorrow. We will fly to London for a long New Year’s weekend and visit my best friend Petra and her boyfriend Robert. I am so looking forward to this. Not only because I will see my best friend one last time before our big adventure. But also because this will be our last weekend without organising stuff for our emigration.

Right now – only four weeks before we leave Germany for good – everything centers around the emigration. There is no single day on which the topic won’t come up or on which we don’t have to deal with something regarding the US. So it is nice to have a little and last break in the next days.

Especially because what lies ahead of us. I never had such an exiting year lying ahead of me. So much will happen next year. I really can’t wait for it, but at the same time this huge perspective is kind of scary. Being around Petra right now may be the best thing for both Flo and me, because she already emigrated to two different countries, has no plans on moving back to her home country in the next years and kind of knows how we feel right now and how she can help or just courage us. Also being around her english boyfriend is a good exercise for our english skills.

I will not take my laptop with me to London and will not post a new blog till next week. Therefor I want to wish everyone a very happy New Year’s Eve and a wonderful, exciting and successful 2011! See you on the other side

So, Flo and I gave ourselves the biggest christmas present this year with finally booking our flights yesterday. I told you that we wanted to leave Germany for good on January 29. We had to change that plan due to multiple reasons and will now board a plane to Los Angeles on January 31.

Just when I began writing this post, I realized that 31 seems to be our lucky number for next year. Flo will turn 31 in March, we will leave Germany on January 31 and set foot in our new home country on January 31. Maybe some other things will happen regarding that number, but that still lies in the future and in fate’s hands.

Not only did we book our flight this week, we also decided on a place to live in for the first two months. We found a really charming guest house online and after sleeping on it for one night decided to book it. The guest house is in the middle of West Hollywood, which is pretty cool for a start I think. As you may know Flo and I always wanted to move to Orange County real quick after our arrival in Los Angeles. But we kind of get used to the idea of maybe living in Los Angeles right now.

Thinking about next year still feels crazy. So much lies ahead of us! So many exiting things will happen! But for now I try to deal with everything day by day. And this means working till Thursday for both Flo and me next week and fly to London for a extended New Year’s weekend with my BFF Petra and her boyfriend than.

I hope all of you had a wonderful christmas and will have a wonderful last week of 2010!

Even if it doesn’t feel like a whole year has passed again, this is actually the first day of 2010. So what did you wish for, yesterday? Health? A better job? A better pay-check? To find love? Or to be with your family more often? I was working at 12pm, yesterday, so I actually did not have time to think about wishes at all. But even now, when I am writing this, I can’t come up with a single thing I want to change in my life next year!

Even if I didn’t expect it to, 2009 turned out to be a good year! My boyfriend won the Greencard, married me, I got a new family, a new job, I have gorgeous friends and had really good times last year. Even if I know that my life is really good right now, I am cranky very often. I sometimes feel bad for this, because there are so many people out there, who have much worther problems than I have and who are living a much worther life than I do. I realized this yesterday when one of my best friends gave me a snuggie as a late christmas present, because even if this was one of the smallest presents I got this year it was the best! It feels good when little things can make you so happy!

I am actually so looking forward to 2010, because I think so much exciting things are going to happen. It will be our last year here in Germany and I just want to enjoy every single bit of it – even the bad things Germany has to offer like horrible weather or unfriendly people. I know that even if I sometimes think that my life sucks, I will miss everything about it so badly when we move over to the US.

So my master plan for 2010 is to just take everything as it comes and turn it into something good. I hope for everyone that their wishes will come true in 2010 and wish you a very happy new year!
