Hi Pat! Glad you like our place! We're loving it. Yes, it is really nice to have friends to do things with, and it's also great that I've been able to make friends even though I don't have a job or another organized way of meeting people!
The good news is that after this week Terry's work is supposed to become much more reasonable. I can't wait for him to not have to work an 80+ hour week!
That interview I thought I was going to have seems to have fizzled out. Once I gave them my phone number they never got back to me, so I don't know what was up with that.
As far as Xmas goes, we're looking forward to a visit from T's parents! They will spend 2 or 3 nights here in our town (at a hotel) and then we'll all spend a few nights in Amsterdam. After their visit T and I will take the train (only 19 Euros!) to Brussels for a couple nights just the two of us just for fun before flying to Barcelona for NYE! We initially were planning on going to Barca because one of my close friends from my South America trip lives there, and then it randomly turned out that Terry's best friend Nick was independently planning on being there on his own, so of course he'll be staying with us. The friend we're visiting, Tamara, lives in a flat with roommates in the city, but all of her flatmates will be gone for the holidays, so she has plenty of free space to offer us to all stay for free! And then it turns out that another mutual close friend of Tamara and me has also decided to come visit us in Barcelona for a couple nights! The friend is Gemma, who I traveled through China, Nepal and India with, as well as through South America - that one is the trip the 3 of us were on together. It's such fun that we've stayed so close after 6 years! I've only seen Tamara once since the trip, and this will be the first time the 3 of us are together since 2005, so I'm super excited! Gem and I will only overlap for 1 night, so we'll have to make it count! Luckily that night is Dec 29th, so we can stay up late on that night, and then go to bed early the next night (the night of the 30th) so we're rested for NYE!
