The cake, the flowers, the hands, the ring!

Eaten by fish...

Yes, these are the feet of my soon to be husband!

I tried to stop him, but he really wanted his feet to be eaten by fish...

Simone and fish, not a good combination!

Stuart and fish are a good combination apparently,

he still has got his feet!

So much to tell, so little time to post...

So much to tell, so little time to post...

In less then two weeks we will be married! So much to tell you, so little time...

Most things are arranged. But still no time for other stuff. My mind is not in the right place at the moment. Strange how that works!

Last weekend we both had our stag/hen do's. It was great, our friends picked us up at the same time and took us out for the day. It's great to have such amazing friends to share this all with. We both had a brilliant day. Now the final countdown really started... On the 9th of november I will have to start using a new last name. Secretly I allready wonder how that will sound on the phone. Or how it will look on an envelope. We'll be Mr and Mrs then. I will be a Mrs and no longer a Ms. Cool!

We can't wait till it's the 9th and celebrate our love with our closest friends and family. We are really looking forward to w-day.

Just to keep you occupied, and myself... here some photo's I took from Rotterdam-Central station. They are really busy turning it into a new station. It's facinating to see how they do that step by step. On the pictures is shown what's inbetween platforms 3 and 7... Yes ladies and gentlemen...this used to be platforms 4,5 and 6!!

Do you see the little stair in the middle of the sandpit? It's on top of a big pile of sand. That's where all the people are walking underneath towards the trains. It's the passengerstunnel. Amazing right?

Next blogpost I hope to tell you more about our weddingday, maybe a picture of the weddingcake I'm going to make?

Happy Birthday Tante Ied & Guido

Birthday cake for Guido and his aunt Ied.

Tante Ied turned 70, Guido 13 ... that's a bit of a challenge!

Guido wanted purple & green.

Well here you go!

Happy birthday to you two!

Cupcakes for the party as well.

Magic of the sea ...

Glitter away!

A bit difficult to spot, but the sparkles and pearls are there ;P

Workshop cakes

My colleagues heard about my hobby, baking cakes & decorating....

so they wanted a workshop!

No problem!

So they all made a cake..

Pure art!!

This is the result:

A nice day out!

You just need two people, a sunday, and a walk... and you will get a great day out in your own city!!

Since I had to work this saturday, I only had one day weekend this weekend. You may think I want you to feel sorry for me, but that's not the case. Because of this I even appreciated my sunday off even more.

There was an 'end of summer' market near my work and we where there to do some activities with the kids.

What do kids like the most?? That's an easy one to answer... eat cakes and decorate them.

So on friday I baked 60 cupcakes and we decorated them on saturday with the kids. They loved it!

All said and done about the saturday, let's go to the sunday....

Since I had to get up on saturday even earlier then on a normal workday 'me myself and my soon to be husband' decided to stay in bed at least for the whole morning to make sure we slept enough for the rest of the week. Unfortunately our neighbours didn't agree. They decided to start drilling into the ceiling of our balcony at 9 o'clock in the morning. I love my neighbours and we also had several DIY jobs going over the years, so I couldn't be mad at them. So we decided to get up, have breakfast and loads of tea and watch some episodes of our most cherished serie we watch at the moment: "Castle". After having seen the last episodes of season 2 we decided it was time to pretend to do something. That didn't go so well, so we ended up watching a movie of Sherlock Holmes from 1988. After seeing this movie it was time to do something active and get some fresh air while we where at it. So we went for a walk.

Normaly that could be a walk through hour neighbourhood, or a walk at the beach. This time we decided to have a walk alongside the great river that runs through our city. So we climbed the bridge, looked at one of my favorite harbours in Rotterdam (Veerhaven) where great sailingships are docked. And then we went onto the park near the Euromast. When we came closer to the Euromast we saw that people were about to abseil from the Euromast. We also heard people laughing and having fun. This could only mean one thing.... minituregolf!!! We decided to have a go. The first half of the game I was beating my 'soon to be husbands' ass... unfortunately he did mine, the second part of the game. Makes you wonder who won?

Well, it wasn't me!

Definitely have to go back one day to kick his ass!

After the minituregolf we took a watertaxi back to Hotel New York. Sooooooo coooolll!!! I once have been on a rescueboat taking the waves with enormous speed, well this was almost just as cool! The trip was way to short. Ah well, means we'll have to do it again one day !

A great day of fun!

New beginnings

Yes... I know it's been a while... And again with good reason!

We're so busy at the moment with stuff, that I didn't have time to write on my blog.

But... with a new design (thank you lovely boyfriend) and great big news, it's time for new beginnings!!

May I tell you the best great news ever.... Ladies & Gentleman....

Here it is:

We are getting married, and pretty soon! We are very busy with the preperations for it. And we can't wait till the day is finaly here. We are getting married on the 9th of november 2010!
