Update.

Well there really isn't too much to update on... Things are going same old same old here... But I'm enjoying it... This weekend I went to Alkmaar... Yes that's where I was previously living.... And I think it was weirder for Tess than me! Haha! She kept saying... Is this so weird for you... And I was like... no not really... Haha!!! But it did set my mind to thinking... How happy and content I am here with Martine and the kids. When I was in Alkmaar and I wasn't too happy with how things were going they told me I just had unrealistic expectations of how being and au pair should be.... But I'm here in Hoofddorp and things are just how I thought they would be... I mean aside from the few differences that are brought upon us by life... It's as I thought it would be... I'm here helping someone... Most days... and that's good to me.

With all that said. I'm feeling sooooo homesick... I know the reason why. It happens about once a month... ahhaha... But still it is there and it doesn't want to leave... I mean I know I would not want to leave... But some days I do with I could just go home for a couple of weeks... See Heather before she leaves... Be home for the birth of my first niece.... And just see everyone... I have now officially gone longer than i ever had before without seeing my family... Disney the longest there was 4 months... and even when I was there for 5 months my family came to visit... So now we're working on 6 months here pretty soon I think... Well January 9th to today, June 3rd... well whatever it is.. I have no surpassed all of my previous away from my family stint... And I'm homesick...

But I'll get over it... I always do... And the fact that everything else here is quite ideal will help me in that recovery... Well... Alright friends and family... I need to go... like really... Awe the sweet sad sounds of Death Cab for Cutie....
