Visits from friends we hadn't seen in more than a year!!
We try to keep in touch we some of the people we met in all the places that we've lived by, every now and then, sending a kind of a newsletter with what's going on with us and also asking how they are doing. I am not very good at making friends and keeping in touch (I will write but I hate phone calls..) but you realize that not everybody will reply and after a while you kind off weed out those that don't even bother to say hello. Today a couple that we met in Sweden came to visit us. From all the people we met and were kind of friends, they were not the one's I though would keep in touch but people do surprise you all the time.
It was a very nice visit and I enjoyed very much our conversations.
Rediscovering!
Today we took our friends to Wageningen to visit the arboretum. I have been there before this year but not in the Spring. It look beautiful with all the Rhododendron blooming (pic bellow).
The garden is quite big and you can walk from the city centrum there (good exercise!!) because Wageningen is not so big. It was a very pleasant day because of the company and the cooperation of the weather!!
If you ever visit Wageningen, don't forget to visit the Belmont arboretum, its beautiful in the fall and winter but in the Spring is gorgeous!!

We had the chance to sign up for this pre-natal course. In theory its seems great, you can read the list of benefits bellow. I was and still am a tiny bit sceptical however in the end of our first session we

I will write more about it has the course goes but I'll leave all the "mum's-to-be" an advice the teacher gave me: "Stop seeing all those TV-shows like "one born every minute" that portrait birth as a drama story full of screams"

Babymoon!!
Its a very American concept, I think, but I totally get it. Very soon our life's will change drastically with the arrival of our bundle of joy and, specially in the beginning, we will be very busy so now is the time to take some couple vacation.
I offered my hubby a night stay at an hotel nearby. It was a special promotion which included a free 3-dinner course and breakfast, free use of fitness room and SAUNA (which my husband loves and misses from our time in Sweden) and free access to hiking/bike routes. The weather was not good but that didn't bothered us at all!! First thing we did was going to the sauna, so relaxing!! As I am pregnant I could only stay in for 5-10 min but it was a private sauna so I could go in and out as many time I wished!
The dinner and breakfast was amazing and we were both so relaxed on the way home totally worth it!
It doesn't take much to have a babymoon. Just look for a good hotel offer, even if its one night like we had. Also we went by bus and I used another promotion so I had a free day ticket on both days.

Happy to be preparing for the interview!
At the same time feeling very nervous and insecure. How much longer will it take to find a job?? I am craving very much for my independence...
KEEP CALM
