What happens when you start getting really anxious for something?  Do you get as restless as we are now?

We’ve sketched out a tentative plan of how we would like our kitchen remodel to turn out.  And we’ve decided to do it all ourselves.  It’s like DIY Extreme over here.  My husband, Martin, has always dreamed of building his own kitchen one day.  I just don’t know if we ever thought it would be in Berlin, Germany–a country where we have no clue where to find anything.  Being used to American construction and stores like Lowe’s, our new home is going to be a challenge.

We’re anxious.  We’re restless.  And here’s a picture of us the day before we started the remodel.  We’re celebrating by eating Berliners (aka jelly doughnuts).  Berliners–get it?  Because we’re actually Berliners, and we’re eating Berliners…

Well we thought it was funny.  Now I’m just hoping it distracted you from my over-zealous expression on this photo.

John F. Kennedy said, “Ich bin ein Berliner.”  I wonder if he thought they were this tasty, too.
