We got some really great news yesterday - Carl has been offered a four-month paid internship! It's with an organization called Post Europ, which represents the interests of postal organizations throughout Europe. The position is called Web Communications Assistant, and it will give him a chance to gain some valuable experience in a new field. He'll also be able to meet a lot of people, make some good connections and (who knows?) perhaps even secure a full-time job afterwards!!
He starts next Thursday, and will typically be working 7 hours a day, four days a week. Fortunately his new boss is a very understanding lady, who is willing to be flexible regarding our scheduled trips to Paris and Normandy. That's a relief, because we have already made non-refundable payments towards both of them, not to mention all the marathon training!
So needless to say, Carl is very excited about this new development - and we're both excited to have a little money coming IN as opposed to all of it going OUT!! :-) Perhaps we'll have a nice dinner in Barcelona this weekend to celebrate!
About Me

- At the moment I'm a 36-year-old from the U.S. but currently living with my boyfriend and kitty in Brussels, Belgium. When I first arrived I planned to stay just one year, but that has turned into a more extended sojourn to say the least! Nearly four years now and still going strong!

Hi Jen and Carl! Congratulations on the job and keeping up with the blog. It is fun to keep in touch by reading your posts. Thinking of you here at cityproperties.re Be VERY glad you sold your townhome when you did. Smart timing on your part! Dianne and the team.
Yay! That's indeed wonderful news! Have a splendid time in Bacelona and all the best for Carl during his intership!
