Bowling, H1N1 and Disneyland!

Okay, lets just start with the best news first. I re-booked my ticket and I will go to Disneyland, LA the 4th of Januari. As I posted before I will go to St. John and LA around Christmastime. From 12/19 to 12/28 I will be in St. John and from 12/28 to 1/5/10(!) will stay Los Angeles with Rosanne. Rosanne and her hostfamily have a familypass to Disneyland, but unfortunatly that does not include visits during holiday times. Holidays according to Disneyland end after January 3rd, so she had this great idea of us all going to Disneyland on the 4th, but unfortunatly I had booked my ticket to go back on the 4th in the morning. After being bummed out about that for a few days and then just forgetting all about it, I just realised that I could re-book my ticket and so I did and now I'm going! We are also planning on going to the Yosemite National Park. For fun you should just google it ;).

Life is still great here. The kids were sick for a couple of days last week, but they are better again, and amazingly I didn't get anything at all. I guess those flu shots really did help. For a moment we were all a bit scared of the H1N1 virus, because lots of people are claimed to have it now, but wether it was the flu, just a cold or H1N1, we all got out okay.

Last saturday I went bowling with some of the other girls on the Island in Silversdale. It was so much fun! It felt really American. There were about 30 lanes next to each other, and because it was karaoke night there was music playing really loud and the room was dark, but with flashing lights. I don't know how this went the last time I'm went bowling, but the first few times I rolled I was really really good, and then suddenly I lost it, starting caring too much about strikes and messed up completely. Haha, it was still fun though.

It's a half-day of school today so I got to go and pick up the kids pretty soon!
I'll write some more later!

Halloween Houseparty



Haha. Are we crazy not to celebrate Halloween in the Netherlands? Yes! We're missing out on the most awesome holiday ever. Once again the houseparty in Lynnwood was a great succes. This time with some people I already knew, some new people, everyone dressed up and some good music. Beer + Malibu + Wodka + a good meal before = A fun party without throwing up! I had so much fun, and this time I'm actually not missing pieces of memory and kept all that should be inside; inside. Okay, so it wasn't really all that absolutely bad last time, don't worry. Me and Daniella already decided that we are gonna throw our own Halloween party when we are back home and felt sad that we couldn't expierence Halloween twice in one year. More parties to come though, that are for sure going to be just as awesome as the last two. Pictures on Hyves and.. I'll probably make a site with all the pictures on it too, for people that don't really do Hyves.

Love it here.
