It has been 2 months now. And oh wow, it have been a good experience so far. Yeah I know I haven't update this lately, just because I found the week to be boring or me being to tired from traveling.
The last couple of week has been busy since my last post. The baby was home every day with me well except Thursday. I felt like I didn't have enough time to myself at some time. But with her being here made it more fun because I love spending time with her. And this Sunday the family is celebrating SinterKlaas. He is like Santa Claus but he comes from Spain. Sinterklaas ends on Dec 5. So with tradition, the kids set their shoes under the fire place and they wake up the next morning to find presents. Its like Christmas but early. Sinterklaas actually means Saint Nicholas.
This weekend I won't be going any where because I have to work tomorrow so I have today off. Hopefully after this weekend I can go to the Christmas Market in Germany, I heard they are really big and its really nice there. And I can't wait to go ice skating with the boy... He tell me he is really good so he can teach me how to ice skate, hopefully I don't hurt myself.
So yesterday was Thanksgiving and of course here in Holland they don't celebrate Thanksgiving because its an American thing. But I was glad to be able to face time my family and some friends. I miss not being there to celebrate but I am always thankful for what God has given me so far. I think the toughest thing about being away would be not being there for the holiday season and I miss Christmas songs on the radio. Most people here don't decorate for Christmas until after Sinterklaas is over. I feel like time is just flying by now.
That its for now.. I hope you guys had an awesome Thanksgiving and was able to watch some football =). Love you all and miss you

a late post indeed
Sorry... Due to this weekend I did not have time to post a new blog by Saturday. During the week was normal. I turned 25 last Tuesday and it was very nice. I was homesick because it was my birthday and I miss all my friends and family.
I traveled to Eindhoven this weekend for Glow. It was very fun and I met a lot o people. I did couch surfing which is a good way to meet the locals and meet other travelers. The pictures will be on facebook.
It was nice to finally getting out of Enschede. I also took the train for the first time (eek). It was a little scary at first because everything was in Dutch. Luckily I met a girl on the train that helped me out. She was just heading home to her parents for the weekend. I think she said she is 19 and of she thought I was like 20 or 21. I think I have gotten that a lot here. I think getting use to taking the train now. It was pretty easy. I can't wait for more trips =).
To sum up... This weekend was really fun and exciting to start off my traveling.. There are more places to go later and I can't wait.
Much Love

Really feel like not writing....
This week has been normal and boring to a point with work. The mom is gone all this week with being in DC and won't come back until Friday. Which means the baby is here with me all this week but I am hoping she will go to daycare for part of the day on Monday and Tuesday. I only can handle so much of her time and trying to get work done. The baby is sick now, with a ear infection. I am praying that I don't get sick from her.
What I am looking forward to is my birthday and also to go to Eindhoven on the 9th. Its going to be the first birthday away from Iowa and from family and friends. I can't believe I will be 25 (I think I will write a special blog on my birthday). I'm not sure what I am doing yet but I hope its going to be fun and well details will come that night. I also think that day will be hard for me because I won't have you guys here with me and not being able to do my traditional out to dinner with the girls for my birthday. I cannot wait to take the train (yes its weird but I haven't been on a train.)
I should end it for now because I have nothing else to write beside telling you guys about the weather here (which is warmer then Iowa right now.) But with the rain and the wind its cold. I miss you guys lots.
Much love till next time
