I loved reading about the new year celebrations there! So fun and different! We have celebrated in Germany, but it is nothing like that. They are generous with the booze, I'll give them that, but thankfully they are not that noisy or crazy. But I like our celebration here in the USA, sit at home and watch the ball drop with the kids.
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.
Gelukkig Nieuwjaar to your family from mine, Jenn. Here's to a healthy and peaceful 2008.
