Laura's visit

I came back to Amsterdam on January 3rd and was fortunate to have my sister fly back with me! She stayed here for two weeks so I have lots to update you on.

Laura’s friend Shannon met us here and stayed the first week. Ironically my cousin Eric and his awesome wife Kayleigh and two of their friends were traveling Europe for a few weeks. They were here on Mon and Tuesday. I had fun meeting them after work and really enjoyed their company. Wish they could have stayed longer! All 6 of them left on Wednesday night and went to Germany. Laura came back to Amsterdam on Saturday and I spent all last week with her. Here are a few photos of us in Amsterdam. 
 




Day trip to Rotterdam! 





This past weekend Laura and I went to London for a few days. My parents and I paid for Laura’s trip as a graduation gift. She recently graduated as a paramedic and we are SO PROUD of her. We both loved London and I am sad we only had the weekend. Would have loved another day to see more of the city.

My sister is a true blessing and I am so glad we got to spend this time together.

January has really flown by with so many visitors. Work is going well and I am back in the swing of things. Will be very busy the next two weeks since I have a training the first week in February that is in Miami. I am flying a few days early and meeting Sarah and one of her friends Sheila. Then when I get back to Amsterdam on Feb 6th Brent will arrive!! 


The first snowfall in Amsterdam!


Looking forward to the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the blog and all my recent photos.

Home for the holidays

It was WONDERFUL to be home for the holidays! I enjoyed all of the time with family and friends. Loved sleeping in my own bed and being home with Brent and Olaf! Sorry if I was not able to see you. I tried to fit as much in as possible but with Christmas and New Years the time few by.

Here are a few highlights and photos while I was home.

Coffee and Pedicures with my mom, sis, cousin Emily and her daughter Ella
