Here Comes the Sun!

My apologies for the slacking lately, things have been pretty crazy over here.  But the beginning of this week I was determined to start back up again.  That is until the sun came!  The sun?!  What is that?

I have learned to appreciate any day that isn't drowned with a cold drizzle of rain all day, but when Dustin and I came out of mass on Sunday we were greeted by a bright blue sky and blinded by a bright shining sun.  This called for an immediate re-planning of the day's plans.  We could not waste the precious sun-filled day!

The Blue Sky in the Grand Place!

We headed home so I could make a big French toast breakfast and Dustin could finish up some school work.  Of course all four large windows were open to give us a taste of the beautiful weather.  Then we met up with some friends at the Brocante (fancy name here for a flea market) in Ath, before finishing the day with some drinks in the Grand Place.

He was confused by the weather too! 

Monday led to even more procrastinating and sun filled days, so Tuesday I had to get some shopping done for our apartment.  I am truly enjoying the freedom of having my own car here and I think I am a much better solo furniture shopper than when I have a partner.  My trip to Ikea resulted in 2 light fixtures, picture frames, pots for the porch, and dining room chairs.  All for only $315 Euros.... I'd say thats a success!

Beautiful Flowers to Dustin brought me... I think Spring is here!

Today I was delightfully greeted by another sunny, blue skied day.  I think hell froze over?!  I mean Brussels is the 5th wettest city in Europe and it doesn't storm here so that means it just drizzles rain ALL the time!  Three days of amazing weather in Belgium is not a likely thing.  Dustin even asked me if I thought kids here grew up thinking the sky was grey and I would not be surprised if they did!
