November 8

Never anybody has heard me say this before, but

I would like to settle down and have things to get normal again...


I love change

I love the unknown

I like challenges 😊


But after almost 4 months, I am longing desperately to land again, to come home at night...


It has been 15 weeks now, since we left our home. And since that day we have nothing more than our luggage… (and each other ;-)

And we have lived in many places.


How nice will it be having a kitchen with decent knifes and pans to make a proper dinner,

being able to store food in the cupboards and freezer,

always having something at home,

not going to the supermarket walking, with kids, every day,

drinking wine in a wine glass,

having more than 1 towel a person,

choosing clothes in an organized wardrobe,

choosing a different pair of shoes for once,

putting the kids lunch in their lunch boxes,

seeing them play with their toys again: the little kitchen, the dolls, …. I am sure they forgot all of it and they will be so delighted to find it again,

seeing back al these little things, which bring us joy and make us feel home,


How nice will this all be…

I see us, in our new place, enjoying `home` again !


It is just in front of us,

But not yet there…

We just might have to wait a little longer…


This Sunday we have to leave the temporary accommodation.

We hoped our container would arrive in time to move in this weekend.

But it isn`t.


So toda, my biggest question is:

where do we go next??

Merci zus, zondagmorgen verhuizen we laatste keer. We gaan zonder meubels wonen, kamperen in ons huis. Een collega leent ons luchtmatrassen en eetgerei. Benieuwd hoe dat zal meevallen. Maar weer een stapje dichter....
