"Garden" update

So remember our little zucchini plant we grew from a seed...

Well, now it looks like this:

The other plants are also flurishing - we've had a few wild strwberries and the mint is growing like crazy! Thanks to the sun schedule Egbert developed, which involves moving them from window to windows to follow the sun, they actually get some light. 

(Not pictured here: basil, lemon balm, chives and oregano)

(Please ignore ugly garbage)

We also took a trip to our favorite store (any guesses?) and got a few new storage containers:

And one last picture just for Emily Elisabeth Krenn:

Canon Ixus

We got a new Camera and here are a few pictures. None of these pictures are 'photoshoped'. 

With Canon you can.

It has been a while

Heute hab ich meinem Schatz Fruchtzwerge gekauft. Ich hoffe sie schmecken ihm.

Sappy

I really think we should add love is like oxygen. What do you think? 

(I'm reling on my fellow science lovers, cuz smart IS the new sexy)

Now for the real sap. 

If you feel like sending us some, we could get our fix and be done with these kind of posts.

Although, there is always cheese....

The best two years

Two years ago today, a young man who had just returned from a mission in the land of Scots, stood on the steps of the Museum of Art History anxiously waiting for a girl. It was an open house at the museum and it's affiliates and he had somehow convinced the girl he was the right one to join her on the free entry tour.
The girl also stood on the steps, wondering if she would even recognize the young lad. After a few long minutes and awkward, intense stares at some innocent white ~5'7" males, the girl sighed. And then.... there he was. Like he hadn't left at all. There was a short, but sincere hug and then the tour of at least three museums began. You will forgive me if I can't tell you a thing they saw, but I could tell you about everything they talked about. Laughing and enjoying each other's company.

Two years later... a missionary in sacrament meeting talks about how every two years of your life should be better than the last. The boy gets up and says: the last two years HAVE been the best of my life.

Where was your first date??

The Huber Highlights 2010

We started out the year 2010 as newly engaged. Marie made Egbert promise NOT  to propose on New Yeas Eve, so he surprised her (and himself) a few days before her birthday. But that dear reader is another story.

Nearly six months of wedding preparations later we celebrated our big day(s) with lots of family and friends.  Thank you again to all that: laughed, cried, sang,  danced, folded cranes, printed invitations, took pictures, gave gifts and drove us (and our stuff)  around two countries. Marie still can’t listen to this song without tearing up, just a little.

After our honeymoon in an enchanted city in a beautiful country, it was back to “real life”.  We were lucky enough to be able to rent Tante Karin’s apartment in the heart of Vienna (Danke!).  So Kath and Tim, you’ve actually been to our place before! We live and both work in the same district (Vienna has 23 districts, we are in the 9^th) and enjoy our neighborhood and a tram line that takes us straight to church. Egbert started school studying Banking and Finance, loving statistics (Marie just can’t see why) and big numbers. Marie is in her last year of Molecular Biotechnology (yeah, genetics and stuff) and can’t wait to be done. She works here as a technical administrative assistant and is doing a fulltime internship there for school. Egbert works here on Saturdays, where HE can’t wait to be done.

He currently serves in the bishopric and is in charge of the YSA and youth.

Marie was called into the Relief Society presidency and is still adjusting to the switch from teaching Kindergarten. (Any hints, advice, tips? Lisa??! Very much appreciated.)

We are grateful to have the opportunity to work, study and live in this great city. When ever you want to stop by, our apartment has been tested and found to able to fit five people (including us).
