[Where are the Dutch people from that are on this site? Just curious.

I was born in Zevenaar (near Arnhem)...

I used to live in Hoogezand, provincie Groningen.....you know, that part of Holland that a lot of people seem to think is like the end of the world or something.....

Now that you mentioned that, I remember Pieter told me once that there are some places in that province that seems like the time has stopped and I thought he was crazy

I am the USC but my fiancé was born in Leeuwarden, Fryslân but is living @ Wolvega.

Erm, it really isn't that bad up there in the north, they do know that they are in the 21st century now . At least we do have lots of space up there since no-one really wants to live there I have to say I actually miss my hometown and everything else I was so used to. Don't get me wrong, I like where I am now, but it is crowded here and way too much traffic and not much real erm, nature here since everything that has a few trees on it is turned into apartment complexes or condo's or parking lots.

I found the North NL area really beautiful, it's so relaxing to see all the green fields and space. I live in a busy city here, concrete + pollution everywhere, and everytime I visit Pieter it's like a spa to the soul Didn't wanna come back to this crowded noisy craziness I can imagine that you would miss it, it's really beautiful up there.

I'm glad that you love where you live now, I love green areas too! I am from a rural area in Puerto Rico and when I moved to this concrete monster I had to adapt to the noise + concrete and to the winter, I have not been able to get used to it!

Hello Jac,

How is everything going at Maui? Here @ Kansas City Missouri has been a heck of a week with the weather, one day is warm and sunny and the next rainy and so cold.... Cannot wait for the summer heat to arrive!

Me, just counting the days until Pieter arrives, now just two weeks left (and my apartment still looks the same LOL) I am sure that when there is only one week for him to be here, I'll do everything Did you already filed for AOS?

Hope everyone else is doing fine,

hi edie

haha isn't it time you start your spring cleaning already. ;-) You must be getting so exited. 2 more weeks. Time flys (or so it seems on my side)

Here it is getting way to warm for my taste already. But then again, I cant stand the heat to much ;-) Ok I know i moved to the wrong place.

I filled in my part of the paperwork. Andrew is going to finish up his part tomorrow. Then i need to get some nice pics of my self and copy some stuff and them i will sent it out next week.

Just a quick update - Harry and I sent in our AOS paperwork last Saturday. Now we're back in the waiting game. I'm somewhat hoping we get his NOA for it quickly, as summer school starts soon. I was hoping that he'd get a chance to start going to school this summer. The woman I spoke to at the community college says that they give the 'in district' rates if we can proove we've filed for the green card (ie NOA from the AOS). Since classes start in late May, we'd have to get it soon to have any chance of him getting registered. Oh wells...

*shuffles back to work*

It will be fine Jac, don't worry I remember when I was ready to send the 129-F, I was so worried too! Now soon I'll have to file for AOS, this paperwork never ends...

Good luck, I hope you get an approval soon!
