WARNING: it was only going to be a matter of time before science began creeping into this blog. Who know it would be the ice bucket challenge that started it… The ole’ ice bucket challenge: we’ve seen this thing for weeks now and knew it would be only a matter of time before we wouldContinue reading “Ice Bucket Challenge…and other news”

We’re Still Here !
Sorry for the lack of posts… things have been pretty quiet around here the past couple of weeks. A few pieces of news though. I interviewed with a biotech company at the beginning of July, but since July/August are big vacation months I was told not to expect to hear anything until oh… now-ish.Continue reading “We’re Still Here !”
Happy 2 Monthiversary !
Hello! As of today we have officially been here two months! Half of me thinks ‘I can’t believe we’ve been here 2 months!’ and then the other half thinks ‘I can’t believe we’ve ONLY been here 2 months!’. I think it’s safe to say we’re settled, and therefore life has just been… life? I supposeContinue reading “Happy 2 Monthiversary !”
Guess who’s back…
…back again! Meatball’s back. Tell a friend! Seriously! We didn’t see this one coming.

LifeContinue reading “You call this a pizza?”

Admittedly, I assumed this would be mostly highs, with a random low or two mixed in (I mean, we are living in Europe after all!). However,Continue reading “Talk about bad luck…”
Nether-kitty
Reeeeunitedd and it feels so gooooooood! We officially have a Nether-kitty!! …and yes. That’s her strapped to my bike. So, let it be known that if you ever decide to move out of the country, and you want to take your pet it’s a pain in the ass. And expensive. And 100% worth it. I’llContinue reading “Nether-kitty”
Our Stuff is Here
FINALLY!! It’s only slightly embarrassing that we shipped an entire box dedicated to the cat. Now it’s time for the obligatory apartment pictures. Annddddd…. yep. That’s our apartment in three pictures (minus the bathroom, but who really wants to see that)! For Dutch standards, we have a large apartment at about 700 square feet, andContinue reading “Our Stuff is Here”
