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!
