I've been gone from the airwaves for way too long. Or at least it might seem like it. However, my mere month long absence should not be taken personally. My attention has been on the ground, on the establishment of roots, to the things that will make my family (and me) stronger, healthier, happier. Laying the foundation for a solid future. Furnishing a home. And fighting the flu.
We have made significant strides. A house and two cars purchased. Several rooms painted. The introduction of DaBella (Willows new Kitty) to our household. School started. Ski lessons begun for Connor. A gym membership started. Many Drs. appointments made including Therapists, Naturopath, Chiropractor, Neurologist. New glasses and contacts (I can see! Bifocals already?!) The swift arrival of our household goods from Germany (in excellent condition) less than a week ago. The complete unpacking of said shipment.... Ok maybe not yet "complete", but I only have about three boxes left to open and most everything else has found its place.
Meanwhile, Greg has been attending to the business of wrapping things up. Working on his second to last MBA class. Closing a plant. The complete and thorough cleaning of the house and lastly to the scheduling and preparation of his own return to the states. I look forward to welcoming him to his new home on Feb 2. He is looking forward to it as well!
I expect that within another month, we will be very much settled and I will be spreading my wings a lot more. I am looking forward to soaring! But for now.. back to work.. or more immediately, sleep. Since it is rather late.
