Welcome to the online world of Ben & Marjolein
Hello everybody,
When we left Idaho in January we promised to keep you guys up to date on all our adventures here on the other side of the world. But, over two months have passed and it seems that we haven't been keeping our promise very well.
Well, that is all about to change! Now that we have discovered blogging. At this blog we will try to post updates on our activities over here.... Ben's rugby, Marjolein's work (and hopefully soon Ben's work), home improvement achievements and goof ups, wedding preparations.... you name it, we will post it!
We're not very good at using all the great features yet, but we will try to get better soon.
For now here's already some pictures and stories for you guys to read.
We love you!

Just Beachy!
Hello everybody,
Well, the weather over here has been just awesome. Instead of overcast skies and rainy days (like we usually have in March), we've already had 4 days of sunshine and high temperatures. Excellent weather for a day at the beach!
Last Sunday, March 10, Ben and I picked up my friend Jochem and headed to Noordwijk, a nice little town on the shore.
Ofcourse we were not the only Dutchies with a beachy feeling last weekend, so we were among the hundreds who took to the shores for a nice walk in the sun.
It was a great day and we can't wait for real summer to start.
Love,
Marjolein

Rugby
Well I started to play rugby over here and so far it is going quite well. other than the ocassional scratch or bloody nose no serious injuries have befallen me. The last game we won and that is a good thing, plus it is getting me into shape. we have a couple more matches this year then we are done until september. but just wanted to let you all know it is going good. This is a picture of a scrum, of which I am still getting accustomed to the codes and dutch cursing, plus this is one of the few places where grown men pinch each other, yea you heard right..... pinching.
Despite all that after the match there is usally pretty good associations, very rarely are there fights at the end of a match or afterwards. Plus in true sportsmanship, all the players make a tunnel and clap as the opposing teams go thru them. This pic is of that.
