My parents silver wedding anniversary has passed – and was a big success! Everyone (all 50+ friends and family) who came to Schloss Beuggen, either for just yesterday or to spend the night, enjoyed it and was more than kind about my and Michael’s organizational skills. Best thing, though? My parents loved it.

My mom wore flowers in her hair and literally glowed, the evening program (which Michi and I had carefully kept secret) went for a bit longer than expected but otherwise smoothly, there was lots of laughter and conversations between people who had either not seen each other in a long time (like me and some of my cousins) or never met before. There were loads of photos taken, but none of them by me, since I happily passed on ‘camera duty’ to others. Might share some pictures later, once they made their way to us.

Now everything has been unpacked, the gifts (which were given despite my parents asking for people to not bring any) have been unwrapped – and we’re all really wiped out. It’s been an intense weekend! Now things can go back to normal, and everyday uni life has me again… With that I’m off the internet, watching more ER and drinking tea. 🙂

ETA (‘edited to add’): Much less positive – my sites have been having some problems, as you might have noticed when you tried to access either the blog or the domain and came up with either a 404 or a strangely empty index page… I’ve had to re-open the support request regarding the issue about three times already – they always tell me they solved it, but then it happens again. Getting very tired of it, believe me!
