We hope you and yours have had a lovely holiday season wherever you find yourself.
2010 was an odd year for us, but a good one. We traveled to fewer places for longer than we have in years passed and tried to focus more on enrichment and learning experiences more than city jaunts; Spain for 5 weeks (for a Spanish language course and to experience ‘living’ in a non-English speaking country), fitness and training for two half marathons and a triathlon (K), Greece for 2 weeks (complete with 40 km bike rides and 4 hour hikes) and K spent a month in the US visiting her family (4 years away has been a struggle for her at times). And we also decided to slow down a bit and refocus on a new goal, starting a small family of our own. To support these goals, K gave up her ‘corporate job’ in search of something that would allow a bit more flex and control once the baby arrives, subsequently starting her own marketing consultancy for start-ups and taking short-term contracts with agencies. While G remained steady to hold down the fort with so many changes and adjustments underway in other parts of life.
Though our flat is cozy and our family is far away, we feel very blessed with the life we’ve so far been able to lead and the friends and family we’ve been blessed with. And we sincerely hope Baby is up for fun adventures, as well. T minus 4 months until we’re able to meet him or her!
