If everything goes alright, I'll be the very first "penpal of the week" at http://wevegotpaper.blogspot.com/ by tomorrow. Don't forget to check it out.
Hi! I saw your post over there (how I ended up here =P) and you sound really awesome! I'm in the comm penpals, my post about me is a little less than halfway down the page, if you want to check it out, maybe we could be pals! =)
A touch of info about me for starters though, I'm 27, American, about to be married, to my Dutch fiancé, and we will be living in Belgium for the foreseeable future. I used to penpal when I was younger but have not for many years now, and am looking to make some lovely friends! =) Please let me know if you think you'd like to write with me. =)
I just noticed you're on the ppu forum as well, hurray! Sorry for not replying back then, but I was kind of busy with thesis and exams and traveling so it wasn't a great time for me to get new penpals. How's it going in Antwerp? If I've read it right on the forum you're already living there? I hope it's not too hard for you. Do you know any Dutch yet? If not, do you plan on taking a course? How did you get yourself a Dutch fiancé? :)
haha, I am indeed on PPU, wound up there from seeing the posts by "wevegotpaper" (I know I've seen her real name but I can't recall it at the moment! lol) and following her blog, and seeing her post about it. =P
( ... )
I'm glad to hear that you like living in Antwerp and I'm quite surprised you prefer it to the States :). I've never been in the USA, but at some point in my life I'd like to visit it. It's a pity that you couldn't take the class, but you'll have another chance in January indeed. I'm sure you'll do great and indeed, your husband can help you :). Congratulations on your wedding by the way! It sounds like such a romantic story =) Can I ask why you came to Belgium & not the Netherlands?

We have a few mutual friends/interests and I was wondering if you would like to be friends too?
