Exactly one year ago we landed in Amsterdam to begin our adventure here in Holland. It's crazy to think a whole year has gone by. In some ways it's flown by and in other ways it seems like we've been here forever. :) There have been good times and bad times, but overall it's been a pretty good experience. The first week is pretty much a blur. We stayed in a hotel for about 10 days before we could move into our place. The first day we got here I remember heading to the hotel and crashing. We slept for several hours. I think we arrived some time around 11 AM. So, it was an okay time to take a nap. And then after we all took naps we drove out to see our new home. I remember climbing up on the bench and peering in the windows. I reassured Andy he had done a good job picking out our new home. I know he was worried! :)
About a month ago I was driving back from somewhere and just realized how everything is so familiar to me and it's like it's home. It's weird to have a place totally foreign and strange to you become like home. So many things that seemed so strange to me are now just how things are. I'm definitely grateful for the experience we are having over here as a family. Don't get me wrong, there are still some moments that I'm ready to jump on the next plane and head back to the good, old U.S.A. But luckily those moments don't come too often and don't last too long. The past year has been quite an adventure and it will be interesting to see what the next year has in store for us....

We are sure glad you decided to come to NL! Can't believe it's been a year already. I tried calling today, but there was no answer. Just checking up on my preggie friend...
