Bram sporting loads of orange

Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in ages. I've been busy working a temporary nanny job. Unfortunately I do have to come back to the USA in July mainly due to financial and visa reasons. Bram and I are going to stay together long distance. Once back in the US I'll be moving to Houston with my parents and little brothers to get a good job. However, I've still got a little less than 2 weeks here and some plans to enjoy the rest of this stay in the Netherlands with Bram. We're going on a little trip this weekend to northeast Holland and I'll post photos from it if there are good ones. As you can imagine World Cup fever is alive and well here in the Netherlands. I cheered on "Oranje" (the Dutch team) with Bram up until they lost to Portugal and what can be said was a very unfair game with a ridiculous ref. We're still watching the games until the end in spite of neither of our countries making it to the semi-finals. ANyway, here's some fun photos for ya'll. Hope you enjoy and feel free to post comments.
