Socks have been knit, a Clapotis has been knit (and then promptly forgotten at Mam's in Germany ...), we stopped house-hunting and instead found a lovely rental!
We're officially moving today! Our very own place for the first time in 3.5 years!!! No more one-room living, no more sharing, lots of space and privacy! Yaaaaaay! Our new home is a ginormous 2-bed apartment smack in the centre of Hoofddorp - my work commute is reduced by almost 1 hour each way, and DH will be a mere 20-minute drive from his office rather than "45 mins in theory but 2-3 hours in practice". He is self-employed and usually works at home but he drives to the office/research centre several times a week, often at short notice. An afternoon appointment often meant spending a whole day on the road - crazy. But that's all history now.
I will have my very own craft corner/desk, so I can finally pick up my hobbies again, it's going to be lovely! As I also have a new job within the company since 1 Jan which comes with a bit more responsibility/management, I'll see how much time I have the next couple of weeks ... But there's always my long week-ends, I still work 4-day weeks :-)
Life is pretty good these days!
Das ist ja super! Viel Spaß in der neuen Wohnung! Hilft Euch das auch bei Eurem Adoptionsantrag? Gibt es da was Neues?
Liege momentan krank im Bett und versuche, meine mamafixierte Tochter davon zu überzeugen, dass es auch mal ohne Mama geht... sondern zum Beispiel auch mit Papa... *seufz*
Freut mich jedenfalls für Euch!
