7 Years Ago...

It's hard to believe that it has already been 7 years since we were married. Time certainly flies by! We aren't going to be doing anything special for our anniversary because first of all we are in a town in which we are not familiar with and cannot speak the language and second, we don't have our car yet to drive anywhere. Which is fine with me, as long as we are together... that's all that matters. :) Love you!

Pictures of Meeuwen, Belgium

Here are some pictures of the town Meeuwen we are currently staying in. And yes, one of the pictures below is a bread vending machine! They have a deli meat vending machine right next to it... perfect if you want to make a sandwich. :)

We Have Arrived!

We made it to Belgium safe and sound on May 6th at around 9:30am. It was a long journey over here and now we are trying to get caught up on some much needed rest. Jet lag has hit us hard and it's even harder with Emma still on CA time, which is 9 hours behind us. We will eventually get on the right schedule. :) We haven't ventured out too much yet due to the fact that we are tired and we don't have our car yet. There is a grocery store, a bakery, and a little restaurant all in walking distance from the place we are temporarily staying. We should hopefully get our car next Tuesday. From what I have seen so far, Belgium is a very green place with lots of wide open spaces. The buildings have an older look to them which is really neat. I will try to get some pictures posted as soon as I can. So far so good. I do however feel like a fish out of water because it is such a big change for us, but I am sure once we find a place to live and get all of our furniture in, it will feel a little more like home again. Keep us in your prayers! God bless!

Update

I know it has been awhile since my last blog and that is because we have been so busy! So, I will try to give all of you an update on what has been going on. We were officially out of Georgia on the 31st of March. Everything came together at the last minute for us to be able to move out of there... let me just say that is was a very stressful time! Despite our stress and worrying, God helped us get through it and now we are relaxing in California before we head to Belgium. We have been spending time with our families and friends and doing various activities. We went to a San Diego Padres game and Disneyland. We leave for Belgium on the 5th of May and we will be over there for 4 years. It will certainly be an adventure for us!

3 Months Old

Emma is 3 months old today and she is growing so much! She is much more active than she was before. She will grab things and hit them with her hands. She likes to play with her hair especially when she is tired. She makes all kinds of noises when we talk to her and she smiles all the time.

Eveland/Kinney Reunion

This past weekend we were able to meet up with our good friends the Kinney's one last time before we head overseas. We met at Callaway Gardens in northern Georgia. I was glad they were finally able to meet Emma, but she was unfortunately being rather cranky that day. It was good to see them again and we hope they can come join us in Europe!

2 Months Old

Emma had her 2 month check up today along with her 2 month shots. I was nervous when she was going in for her shots because I was not sure how upset she would be. She actually did better than I thought she would. She cried when they were giving them to her and then a little bit afterward and that was it. She now weighs 10lbs 14oz and is 23in long. She is growing fast!
