Five Reasons to be Happy, even though it's not Friday - Fünf Gründe glücklich zu sein, auch wenn es nicht Freitag ist

Even though my resolve to post reasons to be happy on Fridays didn't last very long, I want to keep posting. I'm not sure, if I'll try to revive my Fridays posts, or do something else. And I want to post more recipes for sure. That way, I'll will try more recipes too!

Ok, but here's a few reasons why I have been happy lately:

1. One of the reasons why I haven't been as active on here is that I have been working more. One of my coworkers quit just before Christmas last year, which was an opportunity for me and I'm grateful that my boss trusted me enough to give me more responsibility. I am now titled Social Media Director and Member Service Representative. I love my job and I'm glad I get to be creative everyday!

2. I went to Baton Rouge, Louisiana with Katie the other week. It was a long, long drive, but I always enjoy spending time with her, and I have fun working with her. Here's a picture:

4th of July - 4. Juli

Well, I know that the 4th of July has been over over a month, but in my defense, I didn't have a camera and I had to wait for the pictures!

It was my first 4th of July as a permanent resident in the US. My husband got me the perfect shirt a few weeks before! And we had friends visiting us from Germany.

Krizi and Chris arrived in Jax on the 3rd; they had been on the road for over two weeks, starting their east coast trip in Chicago!

In the morning we enjoyed an all American breakfast with pancakes, eggs and bacon! Not necessarily healthy, but oh so good! It was so good that I don't even have a picture of it! I LOVE breakfast! It's my favorite. Just ask my husband if you don't believe me!

After breakfast we got ready to go to the beach. It was hot and sunny - a typical 4th of July in Florida - perfect for a day at the beach!

We packed a cooler, snacks and a mini-football and off we went!
