Actually, this post has nothing to do with my new little cousin, but I'm very excited about it and thought I would mention it anyway! :) His name is Max Patrick Charles Carrington, and he's mentioned in the beginning of this message I sent to one of my wonderful aunts who heard through the grapevine"that it is tough not speaking Dutch, not having a job cause you can't speak Dutch, and feeling a little lonely cause the big man has a big double job!" Terry is super stressed right now working overtime for a big build for this one important hospital and ON TOP of that, having to still be responsible for his work at Epic US that they weren't able to wrap up before the move. He's in such bad shape that he considered not even going into work today, but I told him to just go and make an appearance and see how he feels and then come home if he still doesn't feel well. It's only an 8 minute bus ride, so I felt that was reasonable, especially given that he's still trying to make a good (first) impression at the office here!
So here's my message to my dear Auntie Katie:
Yay for meeting Max soon!! :) I'm doing ok, and I've actually joined the International Womens' Club here, and I'm going to a cello quartet concert today with one of the younger ladies in the club! Then, this evening she and her boyfriend are driving us to a neighboring town for an international trivia night! We went last week and it was lots of fun. And then this Saturday evening we're going to a different neighboring city in the opposite direction for a newbees night, where they put all people new to the area in groups of 10 to go out for drinks and just chat and make friends! So we're not suffering :) The days are long and tedious, but hopefully my efforts will lead to a job, and I'm also planning on doing NOTHING while on vacay in Hawaii with my parents and Grandma, so I don't mind working hard now so that I can completely unplug while there. Except for checking email once a day to see if I've received any job responses, and of course to skype with Terry! :)
