<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Since I was about 17 I
have known that getting pregnant would not be easy. Around this age the doctor
told me I have PCOS (</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Polycystic
ovary syndrome). It actually is quite a common syndrome,not dangerous and it is
treatable….not cure-able….but treatable. It affects certain aspects of my life (
I will save that for some other time) but other than that is easy to live with……until
you actually want to get pregnant.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">It was always
my fear that when I would be in that position of trying to have a baby, it
would become an obsession. And it did!!! I have only been married for a year
and a half and I know so many couples have been trying for so much longer…but
men…it is hard sometimes. I have been experiencing emotions, expectations and disappointments
that I have never experienced before. Also I have never felt more out of
control…..really, just relaxing is not doing the trick.<o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">I have so many
thoughts on this subject and learned so much about my body in this last year.
And for myself I think it is good to write some of it down and perhaps someone
else will benefit from it as well.<o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">For now, we
are taking a little “Break”. The last 5 months especially have been somewhat
exhausting. I am really grateful for good doctors and fancy medication but at
some point you just need some room to breath. It is so easy to only focus on
this. To define myself only based on this. To only put energy in this. And with
THIS I mean: fertility or the lack of it. I am so much more than that. Right
now I am creating space for my self, space to breathe, space to be happy no
matter what, space for God and space to be romantic again</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">J</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">I am very
aware that I live in very blessed circumstances, like a country where I can go
to the doctor and where a lot of the medicines are paid for……and that I have a great
husband to go through this with…..he is the optimist of optimists</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">J</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">I think we all
have things in our lives that we associate ourselves with or things that we let
define ourselves. And although sometimes that can be a good thing…for me it is
important to realize that I am build up out of many things, talents,
characteristics, fears, expectations etc. And for me it is essential to not get
preoccupied with something that I can only control a little bit ….or not at
all. Stress has never changed the future for me…..it has only given me headaches.<o:p></o:p></span></h1>

The last few days I have had the need so much to surround myself with pretty pictures, pretty music, pretty nature....lovely people and so on. I really need this because lately i find it a bit hard to be optimistic and upbeat. I know the reasons why and I also know I have to surround myself with beauty to get rid of that negative voice in my head. I have so much goodness in my life...especially David....if you are reading this: Mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Patience....that thing that you kind of think you are getting the hang off....till new challenges arise and you find yourself basically the most impatient person ever. So, on a day like this the only thing to do is get your bike out and look for some nice flowers and pondering some of the things you have read.....and hoping for peace of mind.</span></div>

</div>
So....last week i had to go and undergo a glucose-test for several reasons. To put it mildly...i did not like it at all. The doctor had not been very clear in his communication. To make a long story short: i had to sit there in the waiting room for almost 3 hours and having my blood taken every hour. At some point i found a Cosmopolitan to read and saw this little recipe and well....i decided ro rip it out and that was that:) I have made green smoothies before but this one seemed so nice and simple. I probably should not rip out more pages.<br />

All these photo's are a bit mixed up and i can not seem to get them in the right order. But anyway it was super simple to make and super tasty.....and i feel so good after drinking stuff like this and that is mostly why i do it.<br />

The ingredients. Minus those 2 little plants. Leaf spinach is not really sold here in the supermarket. Luckily there is a good Turkish stand at the market. I did not add the Romana lettuce...i just added a bit extra water.</div>

Nice squishy green. You can taste the celery very well and i wasnt sure if i was going to like it....but i do. You can read a nice article about how healthy celery is : <a href="http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-04-03/features/sns-201204040000--tms--foodstylts--v-f20120403apr03_1_celery-stalks-organic-celery-wild-celery" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />

One of David's favourite snacks is: beets, apples and some lemon juice. And I agree.....very delicious. It takes a little work to make this but if you have the time.....which I have......it is so worth it. I figure that i just see making this as a hobby and then i am much more motivated.....also while i am making this Germany's next topmodel is playing in the background. Hey, i have to learn German and what better way than to listen to Heidi Klum and her pretty....yet slightly whiny mädchen who are trying to rule the world. Some of those girls have legs......goodness.....it is good that i am mostly just listening instead of wachting.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Past weekend was General Conference: www.lds.org </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have not watched everything but what i have seen i have enjoyed very much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At one point one of the apostles said: Bloom where you are planted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course i had heard this quote before but it really hit me and is still stuck in my head.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The last 2 weeks i have spend in the Netherlands with my mom. I saw lots of familymembers and friends and i loved it. I have been a little homesick the past 3 months so i was super excited. Being there was great but still it was obvious that i do not live there anymore.....and i actually got a little homesick for....home...home here in Germany with David.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the past 2 weeks i really decided to change my attitude and enjoy and appreciate more my blessings. I have this tendency to always look back....lets call it : extreme nostalgia. I think about the things i had, the things that were good, the things that were bad, the time i have wasted .....blablabla. But then i also look to the future very much and thinks things like: if i only live there or when i have children or when David is done with school. Often i am not fully in the present. Things pass me by.....I am not as excted at time as i can be and i should enjoy the moments now more often otherwise next year i will look back at this and the circle continues!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have sooooooooooooooooo many blessings and all the time and opportunities now to grow....to bloom and that is what i want....of course.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So starting today i will: (to begin with)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">* Practice German....seriously</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">* Exercise</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">* Focus more on spirituality</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">* Smile more</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">* Do something creative....i have to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Forcing your mind to change the initial reserves and worries it has is difficult but a happy,cheery attitude works wonders and is really worth the internal struggle. I even managed to tell my brain that it likes doing the dishes and if that is possible......</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">what isn't?!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That being said i am always so surprised how fast quotes from the General Conference speakers turn up on Facebook as inspirational posters. Is it what some people do while watching or inbetween? I tracked down some sources and found some nice ones:</span></div>

Last weekend my mom and brother came to visit. On saturday was my brutti's 33 b-day and on sunday was my dad's b-day...we remembered him with some nice choco cake....as he would like it. Basically we had cake 3 days straight....which is ok because today we start the "3 kilo club" where we work on losing 3 kilo's...to start with!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to Kiel on saturday. It was and is still so cold though!!! We stayed in a lot as well, eating and playing games. Of course we also visited some German supermarkets...because they are just so good...especially for my mom and brother because they just have different stuff here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

1. David really likes to feed birds....like....he REALLY likes it. It is cute...and I actually like it as well:) Last week was chilly but sunny and we went out for a rare afternoon date at Giovanni's, the eiscafe. After some delicious icecream and apfelstrudel we went to see the birds....and there are a lot of them...a lot of screaming and greedy birds. They are basically all overweight but still we throw some exra carbs in there....just for the sake of it!</div>

5. And even more details....in case some family members might be interested in seeing where i live and where they should visit soon...hint hint. I move stuff around a lot....still just trying to find the right place for everything and getting rid of clutter. But as you see....we still have a lot of stuff, I have a lot of stuff....working on it. On the doorbell it shows our second names...funny. Also we have a lot of instruments at the house......Of course they belong to David although he has recently started teaching me to play the African drum. It's gonna be great:)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So.....this is a little map of the area where i live. To be specific, i live in Neumünster. Right between Hamburg and Kiel. It is not a very exciting town but it is growing on me a bit. The area around the city is beautiful. Lots of forest and green.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have lived here now for almost 10 weeks. Although it feels a lot longer but that is probably because the days feel so long with all the snow and lack of sunshine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first weeks we had to organize quite some things. The most important one was to get us actually registrered as married....i know...what?!! We just showed up at cityhall with our international papers thinking it would be a piece of cake. But no cake there. Apparently they have gotten a lot of false documents here in the past. What (after talking to a lot of people that couldnt really tell us something) we needed was an: Apostille. Given out by the courthouse of Den Haag. This is basically a big official stamp on your papers proving that your documents are real. Changing my last name is a story still in progress. We went to offices so often....also here in Germany they just close at 12 in the afternoon most of the time.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, David was lucky to be off more from work in that time so we could go together from office to office.The apostille is like a magical paper....now we get everything done really quick. So remeber that word: Apostille.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been snowing here since the end of November and just like the rest of the world we are ready for Spring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am happy to be here though. David leaves the house every morning at 4 or 5 and bikes through the snow to get to work.....and afterwards has to go to school a lot as well. So.....i am sort of entertaining myself a lot....i am getting better at it:) Not working is weird but hopefully that will change soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now i will realy have to make my way through the wind and snow.....i really have to....1.2.3.go.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half<span class="text_exposed_show" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-style: inherit;">She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; color: #202020; font-style: inherit; line-height: 21px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-style: inherit;">It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down</span></div>

Last weekend i was very lucky to be invited to go to the temple in Friedrichsdorf. It is about 5 hours away from here....although some speed maniacs could probably do it faster. The weather was beautiful and the scenery on the way up there as well. We caught a quick glimpse of the Frankfurt skyline and that always impresses me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a great time. We got there on thursday evening and just got unpacked and went to bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then friday and saturday we went to the temple, enjoyed the weather, had good pizza and i ran into some people i hadnt seen in a long time. I loved it. I felt a lot of love and had the chance to think about a lot of things. There were flowers everywhere and just lovely quietness. I thought a lot about my dad....I miss him a lot but thinking of him brought a smile to my face. He would have loved to have been there with me....and maybe he was....maybe:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had forgotten how special it is to live close to a temple and now wish i had appreciated and enjoyed it more. Hopefully one day David and I will live closer to a temple and we will not take it for granted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is the House of the Lord.</div>

1. I am always looking for food products that make me feel better. A lot of stuff just makes me icky. I have beentested for allergies but i am as healthy as a ....uhmm...a fish?! Still......I am on a search for food that works for me. In Germany they have soooooo many bio stores! Of course that is not the only place to find stuff but I have a found some new favo's at the store around the corner. First: Coconut flour. Very expensive but super tasty and very good for the stomach and intestins. I mix it with my second fav: Amaranth. Does not make me nauseated...a miracle. And third: hazelnut butter. My lover swears by this and says that combined with honey this WILL change you....haha. But yes...very tasty and enery giving</div>

This is the last part I read yesterday and I love it:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
" God's power rests not on totalizing omnipotence,but on his ability to alchemize suffering, tragedy, and loss into wisdom, understanding, and joy."</div>

So.....being from the Netherlands I know a little bit about living in a crowded country. Apparently we are number 23 on the list of highest population density per square mile ( excuse my english grammar mistakes). Well...that is nothing compared to Hong Kong!!! They are number 4 on the list.<br />
<br />
Look at <a href="http://www.theatlanticcities.com/housing/2013/02/apartments-so-small-they-can-only-be-photographed-above/4780/" target="_blank">THIS</a> interesting and wide-opening article about appartements in Hong Kong. I sure do appreciate my appartement a lot more....which by the way is great. But I also have to much stuff. I am getting rid of some of it today.<br />

I got married on the 11th of january to David Nwadilim. I like him a lot and it was a beautiful day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On sunday the 13th I went back with him to Germany (that is where he is from) to live there with him in the city of Neumünster in Northern Germany. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
David and I met each other in Heidelberg,Germany in june 2011. At the time he had quite the little afro going on (he has African genes) and i spotted him right away. We started talking after about 2 days and from there it went. We visited each other back and forth for about a year and then he proposed to me on the 22nd of july 2012. It was more romantic that I thought something could be...also i am not the most romantic person in the world. He had written me a song and sang it to me in a forest with some cows in the background...i really like cows...i would like one. Anyway....when he proposed i could not really stop laughing it was just so unreal. But ALAS.....real it was. And six months later we said our yesses to one another. The weddingcake was great and there were only lovely people there that day. When i think of everyone it brings a smile to my face...also because sometimes i get a little homesick and i get even happier thinking of people back home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But all is good here and everybody is very nice. Germany is absolutly different than the Netherlands....not better or worse...just different.....and bureaucratic....at least in my opinion....i mean: how much paperwork does a person have to fill in to get something done?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also so many bakeries here.....which would be good if i had a faster metabolism. All the pastries and breads are soooooo tasty. And trust me i know i am married to a guy who thinks it is normal to stop at every bakery and eat 18 ferrero's in one day. The guy likes his sweets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now all that has to happen is for SPRING to make it's entrance...</div>
