10/09/21  That morning we had to get our covid tests taken care of, to have them ready come flight time, and after those were done, we drove to meet up with the parents, to visit Mikes uncle for a bit. Lake got to swap cars, and go for a ride in the convertible with Opa [...]

Hello humans 😊
This is where you learn about me I suppose, though anyone reading this right now most likely knows all the boring details ;)
I am Jessica Rose Peters-Hagenouw.
(Always thought I'd be able to pronounce my married name but hey, life doesn't go as we plan.)
June 11, 1995, tis the day Robert and Bonnie Peters received the most adorable, amazing, wonderful, surprise 3rd child they could have dreamed of.
Speaking of being the third child, I have an older brother and an older sister.
Both of whom are married and have wee little families of their own, making 'Aunty Jess' another name I go by.
I grew up and have lived all of my years up till November 2015 in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Making summers that are extremely short and winters that never end, vast open spaces, northern lights, unthinkable amounts of mosquitoes, lakes, forests and people waving to you on the grid road all different things that mean = Home.
But Home is not where I'll be for some time.
My husband is a Dutchman, living in Europe.
Therefore I too have been living in Europe for the last few months.
The reason I started this little blog/journal/writing thing, is to document a bit of my "whole new world," for those at home who wont be awake at 3:00 am wanting to hear about how I couldn't find flour at the grocery store.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek into my little life 😊
Into The Jungle… I mean, ‘Bush’
10/08/21 After Oma took Lake for a morning bike ride, and then brought him home for a nap, Opa was on listening for Lake duty and Inge, Mike and I went for a walk. It was an extremely fog filled morning, making it impossible to see much beyond what was right in front of us. [...]
Picking Up Our Parental Duties
10/05/21 The view we awoke to, was slightly different than the previous mornings 😅 I had no idea where we had driven to the previous night, and asked Mike how long it would take to get back to his parents. He said we could text his mom to have cappuccinos ready, and that would be [...]
The Final Foray Through France
10/04/21 We awoke to a sunny morning, prepared ourselves as best we could in the small-ish quarters and drove back into town. Mike somehow recalling the location of a bakery we’d passed the day before 🤪 A display case full of delicious looking temptations was fully stocked, as were the shelves of bread behind the counter. What [...]
Bon Voyage
10/02/22 After arising, preparing, Lake tending and prepping and lunch eating, Mike and I buckled up and waved goodbye. A mom and dad, off on their first ‘sans Lake’ adventure since his arrival. In the first year of Lakes birth, Mike had days where he didn’t see Lake. Leaving pre his awakening and getting back [...]
Walking Down Memory Lane
10/01/21 A slow morning unwound itself, landing on us all enjoying a breakfast together. Later on, we all walked the almost 3 or so km. into Doesburg together, desiring to go to ‘Ferry Snacks’ once again 😉 Filling up on nasi balls and fries. And ice cream. Like, really filling up… to the point that even [...]
