Well, we have been here for a few days now and are feeling more familiar with the area (one of us is better at navigating than the other...but I'm sure you all know which of us that is!). On Monday we met with our HR department to sign a few papers and then headed over to the immigration lawyer's office to sign even more papers for IND (this is where we had to go to complete our VISA paperwork). Later that afternoon we had another appointment set up at the actual IND office, which was about an hour's train ride away, towards The Hague. Needless to say, we were quite exhausted by the end of the day!
On Tuesday we ventured into the city again to walk around a bit. We found a fantastic burger place called the Burger Bar and it was DELICIOUS! We were able to figure out what routes on the Metro and Tram we needed to take to get to work and then finally went back to our temporary lodging.
We both started work on Wednesday and it went well! We are in different offices, so we never see each other during the day at work like we did on breaks and lunch back home. Naturally, we both had issues with getting our rights/computer profiles transferred, but hopefully by tomorrow we will both have our work emails working.
Jen Lyons from Dan's team back home will be here this coming Monday for training and we just found out today that Jen Warner from Abby's team back home will be here at the beginning of next month for training and are VERY excited to have some friends from home come to visit! When Jen Warner comes, we may be planning a weekend trip to Paris, which will be a lot of fun.
That's all for now. Thanks again to all for your support, prayers and encouragement; we really appreciate it!
Thanks for keeping us updated love to you both! DD
