Carrotsoup

Alright, I`ll try and get some pictures on here. These are from the album, that was recently finished. Josien brought it from Holland!
Maybe it get`s boring, marriagepictures again, but I can`t get enough of it! :) And dreaming away what a great 2 days that were. 3 Actually, because we had a reception in Switserland also for Lukas`s family.. Also a great evening that was organized so well by his sisters..
I`m making carrot-soup for the first time in my life.. without a recepy.. thats exiting.. ! :) I hope it tastes like carrotsoup after I`m done..
:)

Later that evening when Lukas came home from his hometeaching, when I (literally) made him try the soup:

His only comment was:
`Hmm.. ... ... It tastes like.. Dirt.. and then later on.. it starts tasting like.. Nothing! You try it! You see? First dirt,.. and rigth about.. Now!: nothing!

Thank you very much. I think it DID need onions and more salt?
Or maybe it`s the Swiss carrots! :) That must be it.. !

The long lasting fall-break...

A little update from CH:

And so it came to pass, that my fallbreak turned into an unexpected hospitalvisit.. The operation lasted 3 hours and I was able to go home 2 days afterwards.

I was so glad with the support and help from the Westveer Family that was here and visited us at JUST the right time and moment. They were great and we loved having them over.

I`m doing well and recovering quickly, just still quite ired.

It`s called endometriosis, - something lots and lots of woman are supposed to have. But it varies and comes in many different shapes and severities. In some cases it doesnt bother you, in others it hurts terrible, makes you sick and can, at days, disable you to live your life the way you would like. In my case it was called diagnosed `severe` but they managed to operate 95 % `away`. We were lucky and blessed to find a good docter here that know a alot about endometriosis specifically and I trust that he will give me the best treatment.

Autumn and almost winter-like weather has made place for the late-summer weather. There`s SNOW in the mountains and I enjoy the vieuw here every day, its soo beautiful!

Also, I was called as a Nursery Teacher in our ward yesterday: a new and challenging calling! I`m exited to learn a lot!

Later!

Autumnbreak

The blessings of working at a school.. We loved watching and listening to inspiring words of General Conference last weekend at church and are still enjoying great late-summer like weather here in CH. The coming 2 weeks are hopefully enough to bring some order into our small 2-room appartment. We might get company from Holland so its not only comfortable but pure nessecity to get our home ready for visitors and get boxes organized and out of the way. Thank goodness we are blessed with a huge attic that we can use to store our stuff..!!

Have a great week!

Fall!

Since their are many Catholic holiday's during the beginning of the fall... I'm granted a vacation for 2 weeks!! Lets unpack those boxes!!! And the weather is still great here, beautiful colors and great temperature. Maaike :)
