Musical Mania

Last April was so busy and a small part of the business stemmed from Musical Mania, a fun-filled eight day experience, where staff and students of BBIS prepare a serious quantity of musical pieces.

I love Mania. The singing, dancing, acting and teamwork of it all is amazing to consider. Each year I get to know the participants in new ways. These pictures are the highlights of the experience.

Alyssa intimidates me during my nap break. Scary!

No pictures during my beautification, please.

We're too darn hot!

Berlin after the holiday

After returning to Berlin from our holiday, I was tired, yet gleeful. We had so much to do, between sorting out wedding things like choosing invitations, getting engagement pictures, and spending time with one another. These were some of my favorite days of his trip because they were more like normal life. We had brunch, went to H&M (where Jason bought new pants and the shirt I suggested!), went to the top of the Reichstag, talked and went for walks. Here are some images of those last days of his trip.

Jason and the hat he tried on three times.

The happy couple in the Reichstag mirrors.

Jason had some interesting maneuvers to get the best "transparency in government" picture.

Just getting to be together. <3

I was desolate after he left. In fact, I wallowed by napping, eating the bulk of my Easter basket, and crying. Then I went for dessert with Alyssa and her parents. (Linus had his blanket. I have chocolate. Back off.)
