I would just like to start by saying {please dont let me jinx it!} we’re heading for spring folks! Proof you say? I took this picture at 7:15pm. It’s daylight, there is actual visible blue sky, and the wind isn’t blowing (you’ll just have to trust me on that last part). That’s spring in theContinue reading “Spring has Sprung !”

The Final Countdown!
It’s official! In less than a month we’ll be making our way home for the holidays! To kick it off, this weekend was a weekend of celebrations! Shane turned 30, Sinterklaas arrived, and we took a little stroll through the Groningen countryside. So, the last part really isn’t a celebration but we did it, andContinue reading “The Final Countdown!”
We’ve been here a year !?
It’s hard to believe but we have officially been in the Netherlands for a year! To say time has gone quickly would be an understatement. It seems like just the other day we were packing up to leave…. ….now, a year later, here we are: In honor of one year, I think it’s necessary toContinue reading “We’ve been here a year !?”
Can You Spot the Difference?
Yuuuppp. Someone stole my bike. Luckily, I took the cat inside first. 2 weeks. It took 2 weeks for me to be one of the 450,000 bikes stolen each year. Pretty impressive if I do say so myself.

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 !”
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?”
Nether-kitty
Reeeeunitedd and it feels so gooooooood! We officially have a Nether-kitty!! …and yes. That’s her strapped to my bike.
