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. Yesterday was day 12 of Miss Adventure Kitty’s disappearance, and while Shane and I hadn’t given up hope we were definitely coming to terms with the reality that she might not come home. I had already started whining to Shane aboutContinue reading “Guess who’s back…”
You call this a pizza?
So Whitney pointed out something to me the other day: our past two blog posts have been rather depressing; a stolen bike and a lost cat. If you would just happen to read those two posts, you would think we are not enjoying life in Groningen. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. LifeContinue reading “You call this a pizza?”
Talk about bad luck…
When we originally started this blog, it was intended to be a place for us to share our experiences of living in Europe, the highs, along with the lows. 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”
Help – My Bike Doesn’t Have Windshield Wipers!
Two weeks! It’s still hard to believe that we are living in Europe and it certainly doesn’t feel like we have been here for two weeks. To be honest, it feels like we have been here longer. Perhaps it’s just the whirlwind of moving and all the newness of the situation. Perhaps we have justContinue reading “Help – My Bike Doesn’t Have Windshield Wipers!”
