This is a picture of the front of the washing machine, all in dutch, at the company apartment where we will be staying in for up to 90 days in Kortrijk. Does anyone have any idea what settings you would use for dark knits?

Comic Con!
Yay vacations!
We just got back from the Comic Convention, what a fun vacation! Sure we have all of our worldly possessions to pack up, and our entire apartment to clean out, but why should that stop us from taking four days to relax and take in some pop culture? I think some of the highlights for me were (as always) the costumes we got to see, buying a few graphic novels that I had been really looking forward to getting, and the web comic panel that included penny arcade and unshelved , two of my favorite webcomics, and the guy from PvP who I despise (fireworks ensued).
For those who have a MySpace account, I've posted some other photos here:

Add a few more days to the counter...
I imagine that as we travel to Europe and visit places we’ll be adding mostly anecdotes and pictures, but you’ll probably get to experience bad Dutch and Flemish as well.
It looks as though our trip has been pushed back two weeks based on the “unexpected expected delay” in my visa approval. As it stands now, my work visa paperwork is just now being received by the proper authorities in the Kingdom of Belgium. I’m told it can take two months, but a month is more like the norm. In the mean time, two companies are bidding on the account to ship our property across the pond. Whoever gets it will have an easy time of it, as we’ve packed for storage or sold most of our property. We’re only taking about a third of our previous possessions with us. In the mean time, we’ll be staying at my aunt and uncle’s house.
That didn’t preclude BTC from sending a ticket for me to go to Belgium for intensive training in August. Apparently this particular training was immediately relevant to the project I’m going to own there, and entirely inflexible. So on August 19th, away I go. I’ll be arriving directly in Portland on Friday, September 1st, so I’ll have a pretty busy week and a lot of frequent flier miles earned.

55 days to go...
Welcome to our Euroblog, we are moving in 55 days!
So far we have gotten our passports, taken dutch lessons, packed most of our apartment, made difficult decisions on what to keep and what to dispose of, sold off a lot of furniture and possessions, found homes for our pets (albeit some temporary!), surfed for apartments, looked up maps, shared some dreams, and some fears too! And this is only the beginning...
Join us again soon for more adventures of
