One week from now we will be boarding a plane to the Netherlands!! We are so excited for this adventure to begin. We leave Sept 14th in the afternoon and arrive on Sept 15th in the morning Holland time. There is no return flight booked but our timeline right now is 6-8 months depending how things go. We will then be staying with family to start who are graciously helping us get settled into our new home (which we also still need to find haha).
Hopefully we will find a place somewhere in or around Den Hague, but are also pretty flexible given we don't have jobs, a house or even a set plan at this point! It sounds crazy, but having all this freedom to just go with the flow is pretty liberating. I am sure it will take some time to embrace it fully (for me especially, the planner inside is struggling a little), but it is an awesome opportunity to live in a different culture, travel tons & enjoy time together as a married couple. We feel really blessed that we have the family support to enable us to essentially fly by the seat of our pants and see what happens!
We have started this blog so that we can update friends and family during this big adventure, as it unfolds. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare to leave and during our time abroad.
We also want to hear from you while we are gone (emails, skype, etc) and if anyone wants to come visit, you have a place to stay (that is if we find one...)!
Cheers!
