Another Relaxing Weekend

It's Sunday night and Nick and I are just relaxing and watching the Olympics. Another relaxing weekend, just the two of us. This past week was pretty eventful so I was happy to just chill out. Last Friday we went to the Frape, a little local watering hole that Nick has become obsessed with. He loves to try new beers and Peter the owner is an awesome 'ol guy'. Nick always orders cheese with mustard and Bitterbolen. The atmosphere is pretty cool but after the weekend, usually by Monday evening, Nick starts talking about going again and by the time Friday arrives he can barely contain his excitement. For those who know Nick you know that super excited means he says in a relaxed voice with a big smile - I am looking forward to going to the Frape. He doesn't really get super excited the way I do.
This past Friday we went with friends - Imre, Silvie, JW, Ben and Mandy. Nick tried the Dark Damn Nation and LOVED it! His other favorite beer is the Black Albert. I really think it's largely because of the names that Nick orders these beers. On Saturday we went to our friends Richard and Laura's wedding party. It was a great evening and I was sorry we had to leave early so I could teach the next morning.
This week was an emotional one with one of my closest friends, Laura, heading home to Canada on Thursday :( I sure will miss her! Good news is I will be heading home for a visit in two weeks and maybe I will see her when I'm there. I am really looking forward to my visit. I haven't seen my dad in over a year. Time sure has passed quickly. I am looking forward to seeing my mom, dad, sisters Char and Leigh, my nephews, my friends and their BABIES... so many babies...there is a lot to do. I hope I am able to fit it all in and still find some time to relax.

This fall I will be working at UM Sport - Maastricht University. I will be teaching classes, working in the gym, leading the strength and conditioning section and helping out with various other projects. I will continue with my Osteopathy and developing and growing my therapy business. There are so many things to look forward to. I am excited for the upcoming year and to discover what the future holds. Last night Nick and I sat out on our balcony that overlooks a beautiful church and said how lucky we are. Had we never moved here we would have never known about this place or have introduced so many of our friends to it --- I am amazed at the number of visitors we have had! This year I plan to savour every minute. I know when we move back to North America it's going to be full speed ahead so I plan to enjoy while I can. I am loving my new ipad and instagram. Check out some of the pictures I have taken. Maggie has been my muse. She is such a little ham :) Maggie misses Canada too. She loves sitting in my Hockey Canada bag.
