Schnitzelplatz

Last Friday we've met with Spencer, Jim and a few German/Australien Aupair's in the 'Schnitzelplatz' and had some delicous German food :).
If you'd look closer you can see the musicians in the background and the AuPair Stephanie with Spencer playing some percussions :).

Deutsch-Ami Treff

Today we've met again with three other couples. We went to a location where you can eat, drink and play... unfortunately Jared ruined the other picture with him and Sandra. He had a 'no picture' Day I guess *lol*: Jared, Steph & Marty:Sandra, Sean and John (Sean has tried to kiss John... oh well *g*... just for the picture of course): John and I:
John took a ride:
He got me to ride too... Sandra took a picture I think. I was laughing so hard... Marty was shocked how I rode the Harley *lol*... it's just a game... I can ride much better in real :).

...

what can I say? This is how our parking lot at work looks like: The snow is building up at the side of the 'road'
tonight we're supposed to get new snow and also on saturday. The people here are curious about it... where should we put the new snow??? The snowplougher are doing a great job here in Chicago... awesome!!!
John asked me already if I'll also take so many pics of the snow next winter??? Hihi... it's kind of new for me... except for my winter in Utah... I love the snow...
But honestly... I'm looking forward to the spring/summer too :)...

SNOW

Today we closed our office at 3PM because of the bad weather... this was our parking lot, everybody needed to wipe snow off the carand the roads were pretty clear with a few icy spots specially at the lights.

... more snow

Oh, this title I've had already *lol*... but it's true... while we were watching the 'Superbowl' yesterday night... more snow came down.This is how our car looks almost every morning:... and our morning 'activity' or better, John's :)... he's always wiping the snow off while I would do the ice scraping... luckily there wasn't any ice today... during the 'activity' I helped John by removing some snow from the car in 'ball shape' form *lol*... and on the arrival home the snowball fight continued *lol*...

Schnee, Schnee, Schnee

Yesterday it started snowing... our way home takes normally only half an hour... guess what?! We were on our way home and took 2,5 hours. Luckily I talked to Dana all the time so I didn't get aggresive or so. John took a nap while standing through the way home.
Because of the snow (we have even more today) I was planning on leaving home VERY early (not very early for me though) and hopefully we won't take 2,5 hrs to work... Otherwise I'll just work from home I think.
Let's see... I'll take some pics today and post them later :)... it's fun here :)...
