next phase - moving!



After all the stress and preparation for our wedding...and finally enjoying every single second of that fantastic day...is time to move on...literally!

Just few weeks before our wedding we put the apartment to sell. What a surprise to know that on the 4th of September we got an offer and few days later we closed the deal. That was quick and perfect timing as we need to move by middle of October!

The house is clean and organised. We are now collecting all the wedding presents to have it here, so the moving company can pack them as well.

Soon we will get stickers "green and red" to decide what we will take with us to U.S. and what will be in storage here in Holand.

This decision was already made...we are just waiting for the moment.

If our schedule is ok...we should be getting everything moved by end of September. We will not take too much with us...no point as we can buy things there....even second hand stuff.

Roob and I are very excited about all these changes!

Next week is Roob's final exam to close this chapter in our lives.

Today I am making sure that all photos and important files are saved on our portable hard drive so we can take with us to U.S.

This is just the beginning...

Newely weds




Finally we tied the knot, we are married. At September 1st, 2007 Lu and I got married in Groningen (Netherlands). Fortunately a lot of people from Lu's family from Brazil could attend the wedding as well as my aunt and uncle from the US.
It was really an amazing day and it sounds corny but it was truly the best day of our life. Or maybe it feels like that because at the day itself you forget all the stress that you experienced before.

So this is the first post in this blog. We intend to keep this blog up and running so that our families can share our lives when we move from Amsterdam to San Jose

cheers, Roob
