Yesterday, while waking up, I got the best christmas gift anyone could have ever given me.

I was planning on spending this day by myself, because my friends were all at family gatherings, and as you might know, my wife was going to visit her parents in Detroit. The initial plan was for me to go there too, but after losing my job I had to cancel.

Miriam, who was staying over after baking pancakes on christmas eve, went out to walk Jael. When she came back, I was out of bed and basically nerding around.

I heard the front door open and figured it was Miriam with Jael. So I turn around to see the biggest present anyone could have ever given me: my wife Robyn, standing there with her bags, telling me she’s going to stay here until January 9th!

Robyn’s parents booked her a flight to Amsterdam instead of Detroit.

This truly is the best christmas ever :)

Major thanks go out to Miriam, Peter and Marloes for getting me to stay home :)
