Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

I am so used to seeing this....When I lived in Germany a lot of the parking from inside looked like this.
ReplyDeleteMiss Germany so much!
Great picture!
Happy WW!
Ah just looking at the number plates and the bicycle would tell me that it's Holland! Happy WW
ReplyDeletegreat shot!! pretty car too.
ReplyDeleteOriginal idea for a WW photo!
ReplyDeleteVery nice picture...are the leaves actually getting "color" to them there? I noticed that our "green" is beginning to pale just a bit on some of the trees....I LOVE fall!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Aaaaahhh... I remember those European licence plates... But I though yellow was at the rear of the car.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have special spot reserved to bikes. But trully Netherlands are famous for their bikes... :-))
Happy WW!
Nice GTi, yours, or the bike? ;-)
ReplyDeleteTouches my VW-lovin' heart. These days "which vehicle to take" is a serious consideration!
ReplyDeleteDo you drive the car or the bike?
ReplyDeleteThe leaves look nice- are they already changing color?
So appropriate to have the bicycle there. I often take pictures of the mad collections of bicycles when I'm in Amsterdam!

What a nice view. I never quite had that kind of view when I was working. Have a great WW. :)
ReplyDeleteOh okay then... here's one of mine
ReplyDeleteHow neat to see both vehicular and non-motorized parking co-existing so well - definitely can tell it's Europe!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a window in my office...
Happy WW! :)
cute
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am cheating since I see my lake from work (I have a home office)
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new job!!
ReplyDeleteYour OFFICE!!!!
ReplyDeletewhen there is a car park there is also a bicycle park
ReplyDeleteAH a VW, what a sight. happy WW x x x
ReplyDeleteOoooh, because YOU have an OFFICE!!!! Is that your bike? ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting composition.
ReplyDeleteCool picture! The weather looks nice there as well =)
ReplyDeleteI can see a car park from my office window too, but it's nowhere near as nice as yours!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you get good light.
ReplyDeleteheheeh... you have an office! How's the first week of work going?
ReplyDeleteHappy WW. :)
Nice view. Better than a cubicle wall, right?
ReplyDeleteAhhhh... that's your car? You can keep an eye on it through your office window. hehe.... Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteJenn's got a JOB!! With a cute view too. I look out on a brick wall.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture...happy WW!
ReplyDeleteNice view.
ReplyDeleteReally nice.
ReplyDeletehi, nice blog, i've been there in netherlands, i have a brother in amsterdam, i had a wonderful summertime there last june 2006...
ReplyDeleteNice photo you got here! *Wink*
ReplyDeleteNeat photo!
ReplyDeleteMine is up at:
Wordless Wednesday - Stormy Weather
Now we've seen the view, give us the scoop! I'm just dying to know how it's all going!
ReplyDeleteMy husband thinks the only way to get me on a bicycle is to move to where I will be forced to overcome my fear of down hills.
ReplyDeleteNice pic.
and HOW is it being in an office?
ReplyDeleteOf course the bicycle is not missing, lol !
ReplyDeleteI prefer the bike, that's my favorite way to get to work! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteNice car. That yours? Pic is made more interesting with that bike. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... except for the license plate, that could be out the window of many schools in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be great to ride a bike to work everyday. Have a friend who does it often. He loves it!
ReplyDeleteHow do you get any work done!? Lovely view
ReplyDeleteLike the bike.. Love the view..
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well. Sending smiles.
Look which vehicle has precedence. *grin*
ReplyDeleteI wish our country was more bike friendly. We have bike trails, right next to highways. Yeah, that's safe.
Not to mention Americans get all cranky when you mention the "E" word (exercise). lol
Nice shot!! Like the view.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!!
Hope the new job is going well!
ReplyDeleteYou have a pretty view! Hope your job is going well! I wish our transportation system was more like Europe's and that we used bikes more often.
ReplyDeleteWell, I assume you go with public transport to the office and have your escape planned - *giggles*
ReplyDeleteExcellent WW entry
AHHH trees! What a nice view!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
welke is van jou, fiets of auto? (^-^)
ReplyDeletehallo Jenn!
Looks like lots of space past the car park.
