Back to Blogging

I am so sorry,

and I am back to blogging!

I know you haven't read from me in a long time. Actually, since March. Ups. How could that happen? Well, this is not easy to answer. For the first half of 2008 I have the excuse that everything was just too busy.... my job, which expired, discussions about a new job or gap year, the legal wedding in Alaska and then in June the church ceremony with Dave's family and friends visiting from America. After that I thought I'd have more time. But...

Two days before the wedding our house in England got flooded. A pipe broke while nobody was there to react on it. That means the water had more than enough time to fill the ceiling between second and first floor until in came out of the front door and our neighbors noticed it. We couldn't live in the house for more than 6 weeks or so.

End of June was my last working day at Nokia. From then I spent a lot of time in England. First in a hotel (see above flooding) and then at our home here. Juergen and Ingrid, two of my best friends in Germany, came visiting us in August and we had a really great time exploring the local area and London.

The highlights between August and now were the trips you can look at the scrapblog page. We went to Berlin, Florence, the river Mosel in Germany and the Lake District in North England. Our actual plan was a 2 weeks diving vacation in late November, but for some reasons it wasn't possible for Dave to get that much leave at that time. So we enjoyed our short trips.

And that's almost it from 2008. I hope you are all ok and will start follwing this blog again. 2009 is going to be an exciting year for me!
