We are blessed...

As Robert and I are hanging out here on Christmas day... I have to say that we are totally blessed! I realized this after our heating wouldn't work for most of the day and then magically... at about 7pm... it turned on! What would I do without the heat?! I guess we should enjoy the cold while we can....
As some people know by now... we are planning on moving to Arizona next year, if everything goes according to plan. Robert is applying for Thunderbird School of Global Management in the outskirts of Phoenix. We're really excited (especially Robert, seeing as he's the one who has to take all of the tests and write all of the essays to be admitted). Robert is aiming for the 2010-11 school year, so we'll see how that goes!
I (Melissa) will be starting my "inburgeringscursus" (or "immigration course") at the end of January. So my posts from then on will probably be in Dutch ;) or maybe just a mix... I'm pretty excited, but mostly nervous at the fast pace of the class. It will greatly improve my knowledge of the Dutch language and culture though, so that's positive.
That's it for now! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all!
