Getting Ready for Company!

Well my mom officially lands here in Germany on Sunday afternoon...and I couldn't be more excited. I've spent the week touching up last minute decorations, cleaning, organizing etc etc. Yesterday I got the house completely ready early in the day and since it was SO beautiful outside I decided to walk into town and buy some flowers. And flowers were everywhere! It was almost 70 degrees outside and I felt very European carrying home my little bundles from the store.
I bought a few single flowers in 3 different varietys, some branches and a leafy green wreath for the front door (haven't hung it yet so the photo is of it laying on our unattractive carpet)When I got home I realized that we didn't own any vases--even though I have dozens in boxes at my parents house from the wedding--so I improvised with wine bottles and a pitcher.




Also, this is totally random but I wanted to post these pictures of some bus stops near our home. Aren't they so pretty?


PS-I finally took photos of our place now that it's decorated and will post them soon!

  1. We need to see some photographic evidence that Merry is really in Germany. For all we know she could be writing her emails from a hotel room in Seatac.
