Winter in Elburg

Infront of our House with snow. Down is the Lake turned into Iced because of Freezing weather.

It is my first winter and I am really amazed with the lakes that turned into ice. I wanted to walk there and feel the ice, but It is so dangerous for me and my baby. I might slip, we don't want that to happen. I am just looking on the kids while they are enjoying playing above the ice.

I love the snow too! Even it is so cold, I love to touch and play with it. I am enjoying my first winter in here..

ELBURG is a small city in Eastern Netherlands. The picture above is the Vischpoort (fishport). Elburg is near the water and beaches. It is a quiet and nice city. Became a city in 12th century. Every year, there are lots of foreigner visiting this city because of its fresh water and fishes.

Marriage registration in Holland

After i took the exam, i thought it will be easier, but i was wrong. We have to undergo a lot or paper processes.
First step was registering our marriage to the Gementee. Gementee is the City hall in the place/ city they are living.

Eric registered our marriage on January 8, 2008, 1 day after his vacation in Philippines. We wanted to finish it as soon as possible. He wanted to have a normal married life as a couple. But looks like we will be waiting again.

It took us almost 8 weeks before we got the papers back. It is longer than usual, but we can't do anything to make it faster, its the fastest. huh.. Government really works so slow! AS USUAL!
