Hi! My name is Sabrina, I'm new to Expat.com. I'm an American currently working out the initial kinks for residency in Holland. I met my boyfriend online about 10 years ago, and joined him in Europe a year and a half ago. Unfortunately due to the Netherlands' strict residency requirements, I've had to go back and forth every three months during that time, except for the time I was pregnant with our beautiful now 6n month old son, when I stayed in the US. Our son and I are due to return to Holland next month, when we will finally be applying for my residency permit (our son already has duel citizenship, lucky bug).
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. If you have any questions about me feel free to ask.
Also, if anybody knows where I can get a really cool layout for my blogger blog, please let me know, I need to spice up my page a bit.

Hi Sabrina,
I am also in a situation where I'm looking at moving to Netherlands to be with my gorgeous Dutch boyfriend.
I'd really appreciate any info, advice or tips you could give me! I have done some research, but still don't know a lot.
Thank you!

Hi There
I am also an American living in Utrecht area for almost 2 years now. I went through and I have my visa now and in 3 years will have citizenship hopefully.
so, have you found any good places/sites that help you connect with other expats. It would be nice to find some other expats to chat with.
I really haven't found anything... I have a few friends on facebook, you can look me up on facebook by my email address: [email protected].
Hi! The Netherlands expat network might help you to get some contacts.
Good luck!
