Happy New Year friends! It was some shame that I realized our last blog entry went all the way back to November 23rd. I'm sorry! We have been bad bloggers and will endeavor to do better in 2009. Whenever I'm out and about there are things that will come up and I say to myself "Oh, I should blog about that when I get back home" and then it always leaves my mind. One of the things that keeps me going back to other people's blogs are the regularity in which they update and so I am inspired to be more consistent at letting you know what's going on in our lives. One of the idea that I had was to do a series entitled "The ABC's of living in Spain" in which I will write about things that you might not normally expect a
nd might enlighten you about what living here looks like. Be on the look out!
It's crazy to think that 2009 is well underway. 2008 went by really quickly and will not be a year that I forget easily. Reflecting back on it, so many things happened that were great and not so great. I had the opportunity to lead a team to Quito, Ecuador for 10 days, learned
what strength looks like through family members fighting cancer and kicking its butt, moved out of the first home that Charlie and I had as a married couple and had the privilege of watching dear friends and family members get married. [ I have tried to upload photos for a while and have been thwarted each time. They will have to wait]
And let us not forget moving to Spain in September! It was a year of challenges and joys and one that I will take away many valuably lessons learned.
We had a wonderful holiday in Leuven, Belgium with Charlie's cousins and just loved every minute of exploring this wonderful country while spending time with family. We had a blast hanging out with their 2 1/2 year old son and simply taking some time off. We came back to Spain refreshed and ready to face the new year. Until then, I think Charlie wants to post some pictures of our time in Belgium so I will leave you with his post.
