When I was finishing my doctorate, I was trying to figure out what to do next and my husband (Daniel) joked that I could become a "doctorate housewife" (Desperate Housewives was really popular on Belgian tv at the time). It tickled my funny bone. So when I started the blog, I knew exactly what to call it. Do let me know if you find your way to Brussels =)Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246312834409769420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078787840680961915.post-10347031605174030612012-08-17T20:04:23.024+02:002012-08-17T20:04:23.024+02:00Great story, Friend! :)Great story, Friend! :)Lynn Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954688318182916654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078787840680961915.post-72172148180918717302012-08-17T12:24:27.661+02:002012-08-17T12:24:27.661+02:00Hey Jessi,

I stumbled ...Hi, I went to high school with Donnie. I stumbled upon your blog and I have to say, I've been enjoying reading your expat adventures. You really manage to capture something of the essence of the adventure of living abroad when you write. <br /><br />I'm an expat too and I know the feeling... ok, not with the poo bit exactly, but the living abroad and the French administration, and so on. The first time I lived in France I think I only got my medical card about a week before I was supposed to leave. Take heart these things do come eventually! My friends moved from Belgium (where I now live with my husband) to France and it was about 9 months before the allocation familial started to arrive. Anyway, If you ever want to visit Brussels, you'd be more than welcome to stay with us. I love showing people my adopted city. In the meantime, keep up the posts - they're great!Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246312834409769420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5078787840680961915.post-72534759159892349882012-08-11T20:58:24.862+02:002012-08-11T20:58:24.862+02:00This is a great story in so many ways!This is a great story in so many ways!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969355954984954740noreply@blogger.com
