Our last week in the Netherlands we stayed at my mom and dad. And every day Freek and I went to the house when the movers were there. Nolan already asked after 3 days are you going to our old house now? He was already getting a little bit of a closure to go to America. … More Packing up the house
So there we went to find a house in Albuquerque… Fingers crossed whether we find something.
Even our corporate living agent whom we met at the hotel on Monday morning was a bit anxious to find us a house within a week. The Friday before he sent an email to take a look at houses, but by Monday they were all rented out already…. Luckily we could still see two houses in Albuquerque and one in Rio Rancho. So there we went. … More Finding a house!!

At the counter of the municipality: “Can this young man write his name himself?” Freek looked questionably at Marlo.

When we were looking for houses some 8 years ago we were actually home viewing with a real estate agent the house next door. However, that house needed so many renovations that we told the real estate agent it was not to our liking, yet we mentioned we did like the neigbhorhood. Before actually stepping back in our car to leave, the owner from the house next door whom had overheard our conversation came to us and said if you like the neighborhood please know that our home will be on the market soon. So if you like you can take a look around already. But the house never came on the market, because her own home viewing resulted in us buying our own little palace the week after. … More Renting out our “Little Palace”
