This month I celebrated my first birthday (Geburtstag) in Berlin (hey that doesn't make me sound so old now, does it?!). My students and co-workers were so sweet, and literally showered me with flowers, cakes, cookies, and cards. It's a tradition here that you share something with others on your birthday, so I brought in several dozens of homemade chocolate chip cookies, and treated my whole class to Eis (ice cream). When I got home that evening, Matt surprised me with a dozen red roses and a beautiful cast-iron tea pot! After only being here for 8 months, I feel so grateful to be a part of such a loving community. So much good to be thankful for!!
Best. husband. ever.
Getting the flowers home on the train was quite an experience....
