    @Xstatic3333 Our train system is known for being late. I've been to Enkhuizen once and liked it. It's an hour by train from Amsterdam. I also heard "Beeld en geluid" is fun, it's in Hilversum (about 40 min by train). I live in south of the Netherlands so I don't know that much of Amsterdam and the surrounding cities.

    Thanks! Good to know the trains are often late. I doubt it could be worse than the public transport where I live! We're on the outskirts of Boston's train system, which had an epic meltdown last year.

    Tell me 3 things about yourself.
    1) I love skiing, both water and snow
    2) H and I moved out of state for a few years but recently moved back to Ohio. This state has a way of bringing people back to it
    3) I am in love with the beach and being out in the woods camping, hiking etc.

    @HookEmNelson we just painted our entire house different shades of grey also! Different hues though for each room. I love it! We're looking for countertops now and I found this amazing slab of granite that's also... surprise... Grey!

    @RachelT1234 Grey is such a great color. We went for more brown toned greys. It is earthy and crisp, AND pretty kelly green accents look really great against them. Wish I could see your granite. In the new year we will be upgrading our kitchen and I'm really excited to find the perfect granite to go with the house. My mom is currently building a custom home. She choose grey and white for most of her rooms. Her kitchen sounds beautiful; the countertops are granite and the island will be Quartz. Excited to see how it looks.

    Edited for word issues.

    @HookEmNelson here's a pic of the slab. We looked at so many options and I'm confident this one will be it. Granite ended up being so much cheaper than quartz so it's working out for us. My dream is to build a custom home someday!

    That's a beautiful slab and a great choice, @RachelT1234

    A custom home is an eventual goal for us. I would pick out colors and wood stains, while my husband would be obsessing over thick and fancy moulding for the walls. He is currently convinced he is going to replace the moulding starting in our living room. I am a tad nervous.

    Where are you from? Cleveland, oh (hi @RachelT1234 !)

    3 things-
    1)my husband and i have been together going on 8 years/married 5 next april 15, but i had the biggest crush on him for 3 years prior to us getting together so it was literally my dream come true when we got together
    2) we have one fur baby, a 1.5 yr old border collie mix named scully (no one ever gets her name so bonus points if you do!)
    3)i love yoga, spinning, running, hiking but lately ive been slacking dealing with anxiety and other issues but im hoping to get back into it all soon. Id love to be a yoga teacher if baby doesnt happen :( or if one does :) maybe down the line in life once he/she is older.
