We survived three years! That was almost a miracle. Although, it was mainly me who experienced marriage as something very hard. My husband would always happily answer we just got married. After three long years…However, this year in March, we went to Königssee close to Munich, near the Austrian border. To celebrate the survival…uhm sorry, our anniversary.:)

A short trip with Papa to Koblenz
This was a precious opportunity to see my dad shortly. He came to visit us in Bonn and then we took him to Koblenz, which is not too far away from Bonn. Who knew we had only 5 years left to see him, he died on the 13th of February, 2021.

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you’d like them to be.

Balaton in summer with my sis and bro
Bad news for the people around me: I started to make secret shots of them. I’m sure my sister would like to kill me for putting on this photo, but I can’t help to do so, since it is still a very dear memory for me. Love you! Thanks for taking me to Tihany that summer with Lajos (my brother-in-law) who is a like a brother to me.

Oh man, these strict measuring eyes. I wonder what my bro Lajos was saying or doing there behind the wheel. Haha. I got these eyes often, too. For example, when I was not stylish enough in her eyes. This was the kind of expression for ‘you look like crap’. Which I knew was the real case, since I did it on purpose, hehe. Or when she was watching my face that was full of food scraps while/after eating. Yep, I was always a pig when eating, not aware at all how my face might look after that process. And unlike many women, I had no little mirror with me to check. And even if I had had a mirror with me (I tried to improve after many embarrasing moments), I would always have forgotten to use it…No wonder my sister would always look at me like this…

If you don’t want to change anything, you will also lose what you want to preserve.

Back to Germany
Shortly after these beautiful days in Hungary, we had guests in our home in Bonn. We took them to Brühl and Drachenfels. See some moments of that below.





An autumn trip to Amsterdam

In winter, we went to China again. To visit my husband’s family and friends. Since we went/go back almost every year after getting married, I thought I would rather put all the photographs taken in China to the other site named “China”. Trust me, I could have never imagined that China was going to be the most visited place in my life…how surprising life can be.
