Mijlpaal - tweede Bachelor afgerond

Jemig, die twee jaar zijn omgevlogen!

In September 2015 gaf ik de carrière in Human Resources in downtown Calgary op (waar ik bij toeval ingerold was, maar ik me toch aardig omhoog had gewerkt tot team lead) om mijn droom te volgen.  Het professionele leven achter laten om weer lekker me te focussen op mijn liefde voor de natuur, dieren en kinderen en daarom een after degree opleiding in Educatie te gaan volgen bij Ambrose University!

Nu ben ik gewoon helemaal klaar en sta ik volgende week zaterdag op het podium om mijn degree overhandigd te krijgen, gekleed in volledig graduation attire!  Oh wat heb ik er een zin in!!  En dan op zoek naar een baan - uiteindelijk hopelijk als outdoor ed. teacher! :)

Met het behalen van zo'n mijlpaal ga je toch automatisch een beetje reflecteren... en jeetje, wat is er veel in het afgelopen jaar gebeurd!  Een huis gekocht en naar een kleiner dorp verhuist, een puppy erbij gekregen, naar de Dominicaanse Republiek op vakantie geweest, ten huwelijk gevraagd en nu afgestudeerd!  Allemaal super grote en enorm leuke dingen :D

En wat woon ik al weer lang in Canada.  Als ik zo terug kijk, dan ben ik hier nu al weer 6 jaar permanent, en al 10 jaar in totaal dat ik hier veel  ben geweest.  In de tussentijd heb ik veel leuke bezoekjes gedaan terug naar Nederland en heb ik enorm genoten van de mensen die mij hier hebben opgezocht!

Bij deze een paar fotootjes, die ik duidelijk nog niet officieel besteld heb ;)

Chloe Grae Champion

World, meet Chloe Grae! We are happy and proud parents, and big sister Nynka is very curious about her new baby sister.  The reason behind the name Chloe is just that we loved it. The same as how Nynka got her first name 😊  Chloe is a Spring time name symbolizing new growth: “young green shoot”.  Grae is after my mem, Grietje. Just like how Nynka got her middle name after Cam’s mom (Lynn). Grietje’s that leave the province of Fryslan will often go by Gree (English people: this is pronounced as grey) . Since in English this Dutch spelling would cause mispronunciation (again... just like how Nynka ended up with an a at the end instead of the Dutch way: e at the end) we changed the spelling from Gree to Grae. The spelling Gray or Grey would be masculine. Grae is feminine :) Baby registry: We really don't need anything, since she's our second. And people have already done so much for us by providing meals 💖 But I do get the question "I want to get her something, what can

Our summer 2021 so far

Image
We don’t have big summer plans, but are trying to enjoy our home life to the max. Together with Cam’s help, a friend built us a fence in the back yard so that we no longer have to step over chicken wire to get into the dog-free area of our backyard. With Cam also putting some new sod in areas where the grass had died during the time the dogs were allowed to run and pee on it, the backyard is now very nice: perfect for summer fun for Nynka!  Our hashkap berry and raspberry bushes are doing really well and they pretty much all got picked and eaten by Nynka. The mint and chives are also growing super well and the rest of my garden are all perennial flowers. No time for annuals this year haha.                                                                                                     Nynka is talking up a storm, copying every word we say and even linking two words at a time now. She is most happy when she’s outside and loves playing with water. She now is 21 months old and all of

The road to rainbow baby

This is not a post you have to read, for me it just feels good to write it down. She has arrived! After nine long months she has arrived! Our little rainbow baby, our little miracle: Nynka Lynn 💛 We are beyond happy and totally in love. We are so very grateful that we were blessed to have this healthy little girl grow inside of me and join us on the outside in this world! It is something so special that no one can ever take for granted, it really is like a miracle! The road was tough... People say "I loved my pregnancy" and "in hindsight doesn't it feel it went by so fast?". I did not love my pregnancy, I was extremely happy I was pregnant but I definitely did not love it. Part of the reason for that was being sick every day for the first 3 months and having such bad pain in the last 3 months because of my abs tearing and intercostal nerve irritation that I had to lay down all the time to manage the intense pain (this was until she finally positioned
