Guess What?? I Jumped Out of an Airplane!

Yes, I really did! Am I crazy?
Probably!

But let me tell you it was an amazing experience and I will probably do it again!
Next time I will do it on a warmer day :)

So, why did I go skydiving?

I've been wanting to do it for a while now. It's on my bucket list, and now I can check it off :) I think I wanted to know if I had the courage to do it.

Was I scared?
Yes, of course... I'm not that crazy. Being nervous and somewhat scared before you jump out of an airplane 10,000 feet up in the sky is pretty normal, but I was also really excited. Days before I jumped I got excited, nervous and scared but it was a good feeling overall!

Thank you, Josh, for giving me a perfect gift!

Enough said, you can see a few pictures and there is even a video of me!






I am totally aware that this picture is hilarious! Try smiling when you're falling about 100 MPH towards the ground!




And we landed! It was aaawwesome!!

And if you're not bored yet, here is the video:

Would you ever go skydiving? Have you done it already?

Over One Year

I've been a US resident for over one year already. 
I actually started this post on my one year anniversary here, but didn't have time to finish it.

Sorry for being so quiet lately.

But here is what I wanted to write... a little recap of my first year.

I still remember how nervous I was when the airplane landed in Atlanta and I stood in line for immigration. What if I forgot something, or something goes wrong, I thought.
But I had no problems and was welcomed by a friendly officer.
It was a good first day.
Josh picked me up at the airport and had flowers waiting for me at home.
I was so happy that I didn't have to worry about leaving again.


The first few month just flew by with all the traveling, weddings, tragic and sad death of Aaron, visits from Germany, finding my first job...

Recipe: Baked Eggs with Kale and Tomatoes

It's time to get healthy again! I've not been eating that great lately, life was getting in the way, and with the new job, working full time didn't help. But no more excuses.

After my workout tonight, I had a protein shake with blueberries and kale. It was yummy!

But I needed some dinner! So I wanted to make something quick and healthy. 
I've seen a baked dish with spinach and eggs on pinterest, but I didn't have spinach, just kale. So I changed it up a little bit.



So here you go:

Good news - Gute Neuigkeiten

Ok, this has to change. I know... I am posting not enough and way to late, but I will try to get better. I promise.

So, let's get to it: I got a new job!!! Yes, I'm super excited. It's a full time job with a company here in Jacksonville. I work in an office, have my own desk and really nice coworkers. I have to figure out what the ruling is about blogging about them, so that's why I'm not mentioning the name right now, but it's not a secret. If you want to find out more, just send me an email, call, or text :)

My first week at my new job is already over, and it was great. I learned new things, and was able to help out a lot :) And I get to wear cute outfits to work, here's two of my outfits during my first week:
