Time moves funny these days. I still can’t believe it’s December, and December is over already. Last year December was a whirlwind of travel. We drove from Nashville to New York, then took our first Transatlantic Crossing from New York to Southampton, UK. We then traveled across Europe to settle in the beautiful Split, Croatia. […]
This first part of December has been restful and busy all at once. We’ve mailed a Christmas package home to family (fingers crossed it arrives). We’ve celebrated Cirrus’ 3rd birthday. We’ve watched our neighborhood come alive with a Christmas village, complete with ice skating, a live band on weekends, and rides for kids. For Cirrus’
Daniel and I are making plans for our 2024 travel and looking back at what an unreal year 2023 has been. It’s not easy living in a new country, and it’s even harder knowing your time is limited in your current home. But it’s an adventure that has been worth the hardships. We started this
There wasn’t much left of November by the time we arrived home from our Italy trip.

The factory has been

The first week of November was preparing for our Italy trip that started on the 8th. Before the end of October I used all our laundry detergent, but on the 31st the pups had a vaccine appointment for kennel cough so we thought we’d stop by the store on November 1st. What we failed to
