Eat, pray, love in three days

After my last exam Hendrik and I decided to go on a mini vacation to Sardinia. Hendrik found great deals so we only payed 10 euros per person per flight. Hendrik was delighted.

The whole entire stay was a blessing. I was so exhausted from basicly studying non- stop sinc January first and some exams did not go the way I planned. I felt worthless, because this will ruin my average and my self- worth depends a lot on my grades. Big disapointment. It still hurts, but it was good to get away from it. I firmly believe that everything will eventually turn out well. Through this all Hendrik kept reassuring me that a) it will  indeed be all right b) I was worth a lot to him.
It was nice to be able to drive through the beautiful Italian country side and just talk. In our every day life we are both very busy and usually have the dinner conversations or way too long conversations in bed before we eventually fall asleep. But in Italy we were able to get the big picture. I am so blessed to be with this man.
Because of all the chaos in my head I also prayed a lot. One evening we sat on our balcony and prayed with tears running down our cheeks. One of the most powerful moments of our entire relationship so far. Incredible how far we have come.
Of course, since we were in Italy, we also ate a lot. The bad thing is that Italians usually eat several courses. This means the portions are very small, but still cost as much as an entire meal in Germany. This was a bit stupid, but we made up for it with lots of ice- cream.
Now,I will quit talking and let you enjoy the beautiful Italian nature (and some photos of  us):
