What an exciting month! We returned from the US on the third and received our shipment - yes our furniture finally - on the 4th, which also happened to be James' 30th birthday. After a day of unpacking (and not getting done), I took James to dinner in Amsterdam. We went to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen...Jamie brings underpriveledged teenagers to work at the restaurant to learn the trade. For more information...

Anyway, James and I enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner. That weekend our friends Hugo and Daphne came to visit, well, actually they came to work. They helped us get organized....shew it was a lot of work for the weekend and I know we didn't get it all done. To celebrate James' birthday yet again (yes, 3 celebrations for the big 3-0) we went to an Italian restaurant - Impera Romano - in The Hague. It was a fantastic dinner (best steaks we've had) shared with great friends.
We made several trips to IKEA....let me tell you that is an experience. The place is always crawling with people and its pretty much help yourself...as is assembly. Picture instructions.
I can't remember what else we did in January other than to get our house set up properly. Photos to come as I have yet to take them (sorry).
