A Final (Good) Decision - Hey, Dads



We´ve traveleld Australia twice, once for six, once for only seven months (ohhh, there was so much money left! Frugal us! Living in the car(s) always) and after I didn´t make enough points due to no work experience (advanced secondary education plus being 7 years younger than Ingo) we put the "we move to Straya"-thing to the future.

It was sad. IELTS-tests came out fine, as did our age and than this...

I found work here. Moved to Braunschweig, Ingo stayed in Rhüden, weekend-relationship.



Yes, four bikes, two there, two here:



We beat the nasty neighbour in my place, kinda:



(OMG we still have those chairs in daily use! Frugal!)
After the second flood in Rhüden...



We moved together in Braunschweig in 2007, finally.

We fought.
More or less right after I moved to Braunschweig in 2002.
Ingo wanted kids.
I didn´t (weekend relationship!!!!).

Now, 2007+ I was in my 30´s, we finally lived together.
Kids? PLURAL, if so! If so I wanted at least two!
Oh, my heart and mind were spinning and honest friends helped me along.

No.

We traveled A.LOT. instead.

Father´s Day is just a day off to us hence and Ingo by now says it was the right decision.

Too late to re-think anyways, right.

To all who took a different route:
In Germany it´s Father´s Day:
Have fun, Dads! Get celebrated by your kids :-)

Father's day in May, that's new to me. In Australia it's in September, in Portugal it's in March. Mother's day in Portugal is first Sunday of May, while here it's second Sunday of May (this Sunday).
Enjoy the long weekend.

No kids for me either but I get to borrow Rick's. All the fun and none of the responsibility. We have Mother's Day this weekend and Father's day in June!

Mother´s day is on May 13th - crazy it´s on different times all over!
My ex-teamleader has Mother´s day every second weekend when he drives over to former East Germany to vitis his Mum - I think that´s very sweet.

Oh, Jeanie. I hope it were the same reasons as for me/us.
Right, all the fun and that´s it!
