WOW

Overwhelmed, blown away and loved, those are probably the best words to describe the feelings I have today after receiving so many different, but wonderful responses from many of you. Pressure is rising too, to be honest. Because now I’ve launched this site and so many of you have subscribed, I need to deliver! But THANK YOU all for taking the time to take a look at my blog! I hope you love to see updates coming over the coming months and to follow!!

And WHAT am I gonna write about, that is the big question!? Just life and what is going on! Problem is, there is not a lot going on at this moment because of the shitty Corona virus. But enough to write about I am sure. When we get closer to moving we will be able to write more about the things that come with moving. Everyone of you has probably moved at least one time in your life, most likely when you were an adult at least. So you know what comes with that, and now think about moving to a another country across the pacific 3454 miles away.

Did you know that Boston is probably the closest (big) city in America to Holland, and the easiest and fastest one to fly from and to Amsterdam? That’s what we’ve been telling our friends and family in Holland from the moment we decided to move here. It’s such an easy transfer. Depending on the wind, it can take as little as 6,5 hours on a direct flight! That makes us so happy for the future and for visits, can you imagine if we would’ve lived in Seattle for 4 years, that’s a long trip from Holland. It’s a long trip even from Boston I think.

This morning Erik and I were talking about how hard it is to decide what we all want to bring back to Holland. I didn’t write that before yet, but when we arrived here 3,5 years ago, we came with 10 suitcases and a bunch of boxes came by sea about 10 weeks later. The only big thing that was shipped here from Holland was our BoxSpring, my bed that I had missed for almost 3 months (the container took a bit longer than expected unfortunately). We arrived in a totally empty house here in Raynham and had some impressing shopping sprees those first few weeks. The issue now is, that we still own our house in Holland, it has been rented out furnished. What means that we will return to a house fully furnished, so what to do with our belongings here in Raynham? Don’t worry, this is most likely already taken care of but then we still have so many things that we have to make decisions about.

Back to the question what to write about? I hope you guys can help me with that as well! We found that there were so many things so completely different her in America, and there are some things I wrote about in my Dutch blog that I will def also write about here because it is interesting and in ways fun to put those things next to each other. But I have also learned over the past few years here that a lot of you are very interested in how things work in Holland or at how we look at some “typical” American things (and even life in general). So I would LOVE to hear from you what you want me to write about! So please leave a comment here or text, pm or whats app me with topics or subjects. (ps: I don’t do politics.)

Thanks again so much! Oh and btw….I don’t really have a set day that I will post blogs, I will write as it comes. If you have left your email address, you will receive a notification when I post.

To be continued!
