Things go soooo fast. Lately people have been congratulating us with the expectance of our first child and my new job.

 

Now we're getting ready to purchase our very first piece of real-estate. That's right. We'll be buying a house sometime soon. We've agreed on the price, seen the house and now it's just a matter of paperwork. That means I'll be able to do (almost) anything to it that I want!! Want to break out a wall? Do it! (as soon as you're sure it doesn't make the house fall down). No problemo.

 

I'm pretty excited, we'll have more room in that house than we'll know what to do with. It's got 4 (!!!!) bedrooms! FOUR!! That as opposed to the 1 we have now. Plus they're ALL bigger than the one we have now. The living room is HUGE (well I think so anyway) and don't even get me started on storage space.

 

It's like we're getting better at "pretending to be grownups" all the time. I mean it still feels like we're pretending but we're just getting loads better at it lately. Kinda weird when you think about it. Makes me wonder if it was like that for my parents....and whether it's still kinda like that for them.

 

The next thing is ordering my lease car. I'm driving a Suzuki Swift at the moment. It's a funky little thing and I quite enjoy it but it's only supposed to be for a limited time. Pretty soon I've gotta order a leasecar. It'll probably be a Skoda Fabia....we testdrove it last saturday and it's a pretty nice ride.

 

Anyway...gotta get back to work now.

So at the moment I'm fully employed. Eventually the financial world wasn't for me but I landed with a small but awesome company. Honestly I love these people.

 

I'm at the moment a "Test Specialist" or tester. It's a lot more fun than I thought at first. Turns out I'm pretty adept at it and it's fun hashing out how something should work and why it doesn't.

 

They even handed me a car!!! What kind of insane person gives me the key to a car!! Seriously!! They must be out of their mind!

 

Anyway at the moment I'm working with a project for the dutch railways (NS) and railway track planners (Prorail) on a piece of software, or at least the testing of it.

 

Also...the biggest news at the moment.....

 

I'm goin to be a father....for real!! God must be crazy as well. I have friends who're betting on how long it'll take before the child can ride rollerblades and quite a few of them think it'll be able to before it can walk!! (I might make it do that if only I could find a pair of blades size 0)

 

Kid's due to come beginning of March....it doesn't know what it's getting into...we'll have some fun with it anyway.
