<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We stopped by with our Rat terrier, Moose, for a little playdate before bedtime.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
first 15 minutes none of them were to sure about the other, but after
some smelling each others booties they felt comfortable enough to play

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"OMG, I can't believe another season of <b>The Following</b> is over! Last night was the season finally and I am still in absolute shock!"</span></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This is what I wanted to say. But honestly, it was just blah. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For those of you who don't know: The Following airs Mondays at 9/8c on FOX.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is about an FBI</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> agent trying to catch a serial killer and his murderous cult. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The main characters are <b>Kevin Bacon</b> as Ryan Hardy and <b>James Purefoy</b> as Joe Carroll.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I loved season one. It was so exciting that my husband and I could not blink for the tiniest second. The twists and unexpected killing thrilled us till the end and never let us down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Season two started off a bit bumpy. Maybe we were so used to all the deaths in this show, that nothing could shock us anymore. We found our self chatting away or playing with the puppy instead of paying attention the The Following. But only slowly it got more interesting for us. When the season finally aired last night, I was a bit relieved to see the ending and hopefully to have a much better season 3 coming. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">SPOILER</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The most exciting thing for me was, that Mark is still alive and called somebody to pick up him and his dead brother Luke. The question is going to be: <i>Who is that driver?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a feeling it might be the reporter Carrie Cooke. She was always present in the last episodes, but was left out in the season finale. <i>*hint hint* *wink wink*</i> - Who knows?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This would make for a really nice twist for season 3.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Show will continue February 2015. If you have missed it, it is also available on Netflix.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is how long it took me to receive my transcripts in the mail.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Knowing that I would like to continue my academic path for a while I had to provide my school of choice with transcripts not only translated into the English language, but especially evaluated from the German System into the American System.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My research lead me to <a href="https://www.wes.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WES</a>. World Education Services is an agency in New York that provides their customers with an credential evaluation of their foreign degrees.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The following steps had to be made:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">contact school, explain process: are they willing to help me out?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">prepare package for each school with copy of report card, precise, word-for-word, English translations, <span style="line-height: 16px;">academic transcript request form and an envelope with stamp addressed to WES in NY</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">apply online for an evaluation by creating an account</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pay the fee</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">wait ...</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The waiting game was the hardest. I could never be 100% sure if i provided enough postage or if the envelopes would get lost in the mail. </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thankfully it all turned out great and WES received my transcripts about 4 weeks later; letting me know t</span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">hrough email. The evaluation process itself only took about 7 business days. And I was very surprised when I checked my online account on April 9th, that I could see the results right away.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">I am very satisfied with the outcome and the process. And I would recommend to use WES for that matter even though there are a ton of bad reviews out there.My advise is to contact your school and make sure you follow exactly the steps WES needs you to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been following the hype for a while now and decided that it's time to join in on the fun!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First thing I had to do, was to find the right box for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It sounds easier than it is, considering the amount of boxes out there.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sure, I knew about the obvious once, like olia box, ipsy box, birchbox, popsugar, bark box... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But honestly I had not the smallest clue. On my hunt I found </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.subscriptionboxes.com/"><b>www.subscriptionboxes.com</b></a>. This website has its viewer rate different boxes and that's were I found out "There is a </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">whole subscription box universe out there!!"</span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can get a subscription for almost anything:</span><br />
<ul>

<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Beauty </span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to learn more about make up and so it was easy for my to choose at least the category: Beauty. Now I had again a ton of choices I felt. I checked out some of the reviews of my favorite youtubers and finally eleventhgorgeous' monthly unboxing videos of the ipsy and birchbox helped me decide. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
would highly recommend to check out box reviews on youtube. You can get a
feel of what it is and if it will be worth the money for you.</span><br />

At a bridal expo a couple weeks ago we got talked into attending it in exchange for a free trip. Who would have said NO to a free trip, right!?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So we left in the morning. It was about an hour drive and it was gorgeous outside. Chilly but so nice to see the sun and having the tinsyest feeling of this years spring season.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX29twn4nrsJJPfl1dzPRjU5KBAKD0AOAbRHssb43aJO5NzAik-t_Lm-EW88w-SNNG51Ad-fBbj3DnOPV2qFmIYD5TtO5YSngq0rLMc1-J-3AWsdNobRun-Iqgi91hf6GGyC8ZAmly914/s640/20140323_122527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX29twn4nrsJJPfl1dzPRjU5KBAKD0AOAbRHssb43aJO5NzAik-t_Lm-EW88w-SNNG51Ad-fBbj3DnOPV2qFmIYD5TtO5YSngq0rLMc1-J-3AWsdNobRun-Iqgi91hf6GGyC8ZAmly914/s640/20140323_122527.jpg" height="400" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Silverleaf Resort, a little bit hidden, turned out to be a really nice place to spend some time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> They have mini golf, golf, horse back riding, an indoor swimming pool, picnic areas and a new indoor water park that will open this summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The main goal of this presentation was to get us to sign up for a life long time share. Even though we decided not to buy or sign anything at that event before hand, we did consider that amazing deal they offered us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After some consideration and 5 minutes alone DH and I decided it was not the right time to get this time share. Maybe next time, since a time share like that would benefit us!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Excited to be done and to receive the free trip we made our way to the "gift center".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You might be treated like royalty in the beginning but once you are done, without buying a time share you get to wait 45 minutes till your up. The wait wasn't to bad though. We got to see Finding Nemo, which I haven't seen yet. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once it was our turn to receive the gift it went by super quickly. The gifter filled out his charts and made sure that we are the right people and handed us our 5 (!) gifts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got in exchange:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- our $40 deposit back</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- a day-pass for that day at the resort</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- a $100 Restaurant.com gift card</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="null">- a weekend trip</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="null">- a scatch off ticket which turned into a vacation getaway</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="null">We were blown away. We did know about the weekend trip, which was already so worth spending a day and listening to the sales pitch. But all the other things were just the icing on the cake.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="null">I'm so excited to go on those trips and bring back awesome pictures from a great time.</span></span><br />

Groomsmen and friends are bringing some liquid gifts and will</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> party all night. I'm sure it will get pretty wild ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And why not? I had a blast at my bachelorette party last November.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My SIL planned on just taking me out for a couple of drinks. This "spontaneous" idea turned into a whole event that also my FMIL and my aunts and future-cousin attended.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We went to a cozy little bar across the street for karaoke night. Oh, how I love karaoke. It was so much fun! Having yummy drinks, singing, laughing. It was a great time!! My absolute favorites are: Don't stop believing (Journey), Marry you (Bruno Mars), everything by the Backstreet Boys, Survive (Gloria Gaynor).... and so on....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There is an important event coming up, you need to look great and you know there is nothing in your closet to wear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The #1 war plan that comes to mind is SHOPPING.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So you head out to the store and find absolutely nothing. Why? I don't understand it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other times you just go for fun and find so many incredible pieces, but you know there wont be any occasions coming up to wear them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's like a "Teufelskreis" (doom loop)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So on that particular Saturday I went shopping with my SIL for an upcoming wedding. Upcoming meaning: two weeks away. Argh!! The first store we went into was so crowded, we immediately started to hid the racks. She in her size, I'm in mine. In the end we managed to snatch 4 dresses each to try on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why is it that the first dress you pull the best one is? I'm not sure, but it did fit very well. SIL found also something she liked and added a cute little bow belt to it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm super excited to get all dolled up and go to a beautiful wedding, espescially since I already have shoes and hair figured out. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I really hope it will warm up a little bit more than just the 55 degrees they call for :/ </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was pretty much like a zoo! Arrived on time, we had to realize what a crazy busy day was ahead of us. After standing in line for about 1 hour we finally were able to start the fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Right at the entrance they gave us a bag with a bridal magazine and little pamphlets of different vendors, like:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Reception venues</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Florists</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Transportation service</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Candy Bar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Caterer </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Photographer and videographer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Bachelor/Bachelorette parties </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Ministers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- DJs </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Bridal and Groom stores</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- and many more</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I went ahead and set up an appointment to check out some Bridesmaid dresses with my sister-in-law in about 2 weeks. That's going to be so much fun! :D</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Passing tables, getting congratulations, receiving information and signing up for a chance to win. It was pretty exhausting and after 3 hours we were done and ready to leave.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would recommend to anyone to go see a bridal expo, it definitely gets you in wedding mood! </span><br />
