Time to Travel

Today we are packed and ready to go to Armenia, we have planned this trip for quite some time now.
Since I am originally from Armenia I am super excited to revisit, which will be the 5th time for me. I'm going with my Fiancé, and even though we are mostly going to fix wedding stuff, like our rings and wedding favors, we are also gonna relax and have some time for ourselves.
Another reason we are going is the marking of the centenary of the Armenian Genocide. Which is super important for both of us to attend, so we are looking forward to that.

But first we have our transit in Vienna for 11 hours, and have we totally taken advantage of that and explored the city! Super fun and interesting walking around in an old european city and there is so much to see. Unfortuneatly all stores are closed on Sundays so no shopping, but I'm not evens sure we would be able to after walking 16 km (aprox. 24.000 steps, wearing a pedometer becomes handy) around beautiful Vienna, with only 3 hours of sleep and another flight ahead of us.

So now Mr. M and I are recharging (both body and electronical devices!) so we are ready to explore Armenia tomorrow!

Talk to you guys post Armenia, and hopefully before the wedding ;)

Trip to Lisbon

So here is the post I thought i had posted but actually I had only saved!

I promised to tell you guys about my trip to Lisbon, the gift that my BF, Mado gave to me on my 23rd birthday. After celebrating my birthday the day before, we got up early and went to Kastrup, Copenhagen Airport and we were on our way to Lisbon.

After a small amount of sleep, one overlay, overexcitment and a 5 something hour flight, we were both ready to go relax at our hotel when we landed. But as unlucky as I am, my suitcase hadn't arrived, it was stuck i Munich, with all my clothes and eveything else i had packed for the trip. So there was nothing to do but go to the hotel without it. When we arrived i was amazed! There, in the centre of Lisbon was a castle ruin, and part of that ruin is rebuild as a hotel, this is where Mado had made our reservation. Imagine staying in the ruins of an old european castle. It was a beautiful place and very unique.

Lisbon is a beautiful old city going all the way to the water, with small cozy cafes and restaurant. There is lots to see and you get a good work out too with walking up and down some of the steep streets.

We weren't out much the first day, exhausted as we were.

The next morning we got woken up by approximatly 10 peacocks having a blast in the hotel garden, right outside our blacony, peacocks are really beautiful birds, but they don't sound as the look, they make an awful lot of noise! We ate breakfast in the garden, surounded by theese beautiful, majestic birds it was an experience I will never forget. We walked around Lisbon and decided to visit the ruins of the castle. There was a beautiful view from the castle walls showing almost the entire city of  Lisbon, we decided to take a picture there. Mado set up the camera and when he came closer to me he said he had one more gift for me.

It was a pair of binoculars, he told me to try them out, so i looked out at the city. And that's when he put a ring right in my line of vision.

So suddenly i was engaged, it was crazy, telling my parents, telling my friends and family (Half of them thought it was a joke?!) It was the most amazing day in my life and i know i have yet many more to come, with this amazing man, that is now my fiancé! 

The rest of our days in Lisbon was a blur, we went all kinds of different places, saw a lot of things, ate A LOT of delicious food and generally spend a lot of time in 7th heaven.... Sometimes when i think back, i still can't believe that he actually proposed.

I love you, you are my everything <3

.....

Okay okay, how did I react???

Well, first i didn't believe it and my first words was no no no...(I'm really embarrassing to have around you know?) Because I was really not getting it, oblivious as I am! Then came all the hugs and kisses as it dawned on me what was happening, but he actually had to ask me: "So what is the answer?" and of course it was YES! A million times YES! Forever...

Birthday Suprise From My BF

Hello, how are you all doing?

I'm doing good, real good :D So the past 2 weeks have been amazing! As you know I spend my birthday with my BF. He had told me to pack shorts and bikinis, which doesn't go with the season...! So of course when I got there Wednesday afternoon I was really curious about what he had planned (my birthday was Thursday). We invited his parents over so we could all celebrate together, and it was really nice, his mom had baked a delicious cake for me and everything, which was super sweet of her. Plus they all had presents for me, I got everything I had wished for and more because when it came on my BF's present it was so much more than I expected, he was the last one to give me my present and what he gave me was a piece of paper with a bow on. When I opened the paper it was 2 plane tickets to Lisbon, Portugal! That was probably the most exciting birthday present I had ever gotten! Mini vacation for 5 days with the one I love, I couldn't ask for more.

But his surprises didn't stop there, what happened in those 5 days I really have to make a post by it self.  I'm overwhelmed and  so happy it's impossible to explain. I really wish for everyone to experience having moments like this, with loved ones, just being happy.

Wish You all a lovely weekend , I have work tomorrow and it's already way too late for me to be up!

Good night <3
