My “Life”… my Jens

August 12, 1994 ; 1:55 a.m. Jens-Christopher was born., My husband and my sister were with my the whole time I was having my labor till the Gyn decided to have caesarian-operation, while I lost the 'frucht-wasser' (amniotic fluid) . In few minutes, Jens-C came to the world...my first phrase I said was...'welcome to the world'..my sis can not forget that..., sometimes, she made jokes out of it.

My son Jens was baptized on my birthday, October 1, 1994., with lunch-buffet reception...a lot of food. My sister was one of the godmothers of Jens and few cousins in Michigan. Then sister went back home for she wanted to work, she was fresh-graduate of Bachelor of Science in Psychology and wanted to shape up her career. It was too sad for me., but having my baby, I tried to give my time and love to my family.

My better-half was really a great partner at the time and good father to my son., we often travel together specially when he got some conferences out-of-town, or whenever he have projects somewhere in Germany., we were always part of it. Jens started attending his kindergarden, enjoying those craft-works with other mothers, and afternoon-sport activities., tennis game, karate, swimming course, then as he grows old he love to play football (soccer in US)., till now. There was a year when went to my home-country for three months holiday with Jens., to see again his Grandma and aunt and uncle too., and we were suprisely-visited by my hubby., Jens can not believe that, he was so happy to see his 'papa' at granny's gate. Those were the happy days.

Jens started his school-grade., that was the time, my hubby was having a project in Hamburg for Airbus company., sometime of 2000, after our millinuim celebration in Paris, France., then my hubby would suggest to take the first-class train from Köln to Hamburg and he will meet us there for few days break for us and join him there. It was such an experience.

The Knight in Shining Armor… or so I thought

Summer of 1990, I met someone I used to love... huh! Our first-date was a trip in Luxembourg, we had ice-cream, it was hot-summer day, with our friends Cristy and Peter., (they were the one who introduced me to him)

We got married after a year of getting to know each other. We went to my home-country for 7 weeks honeymoon in the famous Boracay Island. Then we stopped for a few days in Bangkok, Thailand; then went back to our love-nest in Cologne city.

On our first wedding-anniversary, he gave me four-weeks trip to New York City, visiting
my relatives, (Mum's side) spending Christmas in Tenesse, Chattanoga. then back to Connecticut. and spend our first New Year on the plane going back to Germany.

My better-half loves to drive specially when I have visitors., for him driving from
Köln to Paris is absolutely nothing. I appreciated it. When Mum was with us the first time, we drove to Paris for a week holiday, visited Baneaux Apparition in Belguim. Tour her around the neighbouring-city like Monschau., Mum enjoyed.

There was a year when we were twice in the US, summer and then christmas...We were
stranded by a strong-strom in Chicago, Hilton Hotel going back to Germany. I can still remember those happy moments with him.

Those travelling....going to Lucerne, Switzerland, Austria, was just our spring-holiday., just the two of us.

When I turned forty-years old, he gave me two-round-trip-ticket to San Francisco with hotel accomodation for me and my son.Aside from dinner-for-six-persons in Champ-Elysee in Paris, France.

He showed me the world!
