Brrrr...........

It has been down right chilly the past few days. You think by all this cold that winter is finally here;) I guess it is! I needed to go to the store this morning to buy gifts for DJ's teacher's and a gift for our taxi driver. I was able to catch the bus just a few houses away and go into the Veldhoven city center. The bus is actually a large shuttle van, but it was nice an warm:) The bus only comes through every hour so I have to make sure I'm there on time, even just a little before because her doesn't stop if he doesn't see anyone standing there. And DJ got out early today from school so I had to make sure that I was home before he got here. Now that I know the schedule a little better i will be using the service a little more often. The nice thing was that the center was not crowded at all. I would like to go and back, but know that the next few weeks won't be that easy. Once the kids get out of school and we get closer to Christmas that place will be crazy. I have just a couple more things I need to get for Christmas then I will be done.

Jori flies in this weekend. I was looking at the train schedule because I was thinking about taking the train to go up and get her, but they don't run as often on the weekends. So now I need to go over it with Sheldon then we can make a decision on what we will do. Jori also wrecked the truck driving on snow in Provo so we are waiting to hear from the insurance to find out what will happen with the truck. Monica happened to be there and she figured the truck was totaled, but nothing has been settled yet. I need to get a number for a shuttle service to pick her up from her apartment to take her to the airport on Saturday morning.

I am baking 2 ham's right now or the RS dinner tonight. I hope that all goes well with them. The one in the crock pot is doing fine, hopefully the one in the oven will be good too. I think I ruined my crock pot from the states. I used the transformer like I usually do but then it started smoking:( It would just be best if I buy another european crock pot then I will have two again. I'm so mad about the other crock pot. Oh well, that just means I get to buy a new one when we move back.

Well, I still need to get into the shower. I'm still freezing:( I think I might just have to buy me some long underware for when I go out. I also want to get a couple more things done before I have to go tonight. I will be glad when this week is finally over.
