Girls' Weekend

Today I am heading out to Baden-Baden with three of my friends for a relaxing spa weekend. It is still snowing, and since I am driving (thanks to my new German driver's license), I am hoping that the roads are okay! I am usually not the one that volunteers to drive for something like this, but the train tickets were a lot of money and so was renting a car. I guess it's kind of fun to do road trip driving though. I am so excited to indulge in a relaxing, quiet weekend of unwinding! We are hoping to get in some massages, good food, and lots of rest.

I woke up this morning eager to hit the gym, and I am really proud that I got in a good 45 minute session on the bike before I have to leave. Now I  just need to finish packing! My husband is spending the weekend in Cologne with a friend of his celebrating Carnival. I left him a homemade Valentine on his bedside table and some other little gifts for him to discover when he gets back. It's not super convenient that our long weekend from school for Fasching (Carnival) coincides with Valentine's Day, but I am very much a believer that Valentine's Day should not be so much about just a DAY, but really about the relationships that you have and celebrating your love. My husband is my best friend and the most supportive, loving person I know, so I am okay if we are not together on Sunday because all the other days in the year count too!

I will be returning on Tuesday, so there probably won't be any posting going on until then. Happy Valentine's Day! XOXO
