So, here we are. It’s been 90 weeks since we drove out of our driveway in Sandy, bound for new experiences and a unique chapter of our life by moving to Europe. We started another chapter when we returned to the U.S. last summer. A LOT has happened since then, and we have been blessed to spend tons of time with family and friends across the country. The last ten months have been such a precious season to reconnect, to celebrate, and to mourn with those we love. Now, it’s time to close that chapter and open another — time for another adventure!
We have spent the last two weeks here in Utah with exploits exciting and not so much so. Here’s a list of some of the fun (and a bit of “not-so-fun”)…
- Sorting through Max’s things
- Swiss cookies with Mikelle
- Colonoscopy
- Dinners with friends (thanks for the great time Margaret, Kathy and Dave, Emily and Kevin, the Guertler family, and to all my ballet friends!)
- Vaccinations
- House projects
- Scanning family photos
- Taxes & financial fun
- Gingerbread waffles
- Mammogram
- Shopping for travel gear
- An amazing steak dinner
- Facetime and calls with kids and grandkids
- Attempting to make plans and bookings
- Hiking and taking walks
It’s been a great month and we have really enjoyed being here. When I check in next week, it will be from the Mediterranean! We’re excited to get back to our travels, but we will miss “home” and our people. Have a great week!
Not Warm. Loving It Anyway.
Hello from chilly Ohio! We had a great week traveling northward toward one set of grandkids, despite Nathan coming down with a cold. We had some fun in Nashville, where we had a pleasant surprise, and in Dayton, where we finally visited a museum we've been trying to...
Goodbye to Warmth
We've had a great, if quiet, week here in Florida. We've managed to book some fun future travel plans, talk to the kids and grandkids and other family, and enjoy this corner of the world. This slice of Florida has been great this month. We've really enjoyed being able...
Just Chillin’
We're still here in Florida, working on projects and getting in our daily walks and recommended daily doses of sunsets and healthy food. We don't do much that's exciting from day to day. Nathan reads, studies languages, and practices the piano. I've made some crafts,...

Always a joy to see you guys. It looks like you had a great time in Southern Utah! ♥️
