Tydingco Family

The kids had a long weekend because of Columbus day, so we took advantage of the cheap flights from Belgium to Italy and decided to explore Venice. Venice, Italy View of the Dolomites as we were landing We checked off all the modes of transportation in one day. Plane to bus to waterbus. Hilton Milano … Continue reading Ciao Quarantaquattro

Chased the sun all over Europe this summer. I knew our time stationed overseas would go by fast, but it really is flying by. We’re doing our best to check things off our “must see/do” list and we’ve made a good dent. Although it’s challenging to plan all the trips, pack, find places to eat, … Continue reading European Summer

The last few months have been a lot of the same thing and, at the same time, so many new experiences. We all needed a little breather after our end-of-year road trip, but we still managed to fill our calendar with fun day excursions and even a spring break getaway for the family. Ana’s Model … Continue reading All the New Things

Before we get started on all the updates, I just wanted to take a minute to give myself a little pat on the back for keeping this blog going all these years. Went down the rabbit hole and spent the last few days going through all of my posts from the very beginning – all … Continue reading We Live Here?

The Tydingco’s are headed to EUROPE! I’m sure you’re asking yourself, didn’t Ty retire already? The short answer is no. Ha! Although he was ready to drop papers (again) after his time was up in Colorado, Ty’s assignment team dangled some incredible overseas “must-fill” positions in front of us and we couldn’t pass on the … Continue reading Chocolate, Waffles, Fries!

Over the span of about 18 months, I tackled a major renovation project on our A-Frame cabin in the Colorado mountains.

It was tough both mentally and physically, but we made it through and … Continue reading Blood, Sweat & Tears

This may be the the longest break between posts since I’ve started the blog. To be honest, I’ve had this on my to do list for months but dreaded the logistical challenges of uploading, transferring, converting, and sorting through pictures. I’m finally biting the bullet and will attempt to get us back up to date. … Continue reading Where Have You Been

Here goes my bi-annual update. Ha! So tough to keep up with the blog posts, but I’m glad I’ve done an OK job capturing “all the things” throughout the year…thanks iPhone camera! Maybe to make this a little easier on myself, I try to upload at least quarterly. After reflecting on the second half of … Continue reading Seasons

Another six months have passed since I’ve blogged and it’s taken me all day to sort through and upload pictures for this update. As time consuming as this is, I’m constantly reminded about how important it is to capture and document these moments. These are the moments we’ll think back on in the future, things … Continue reading Live Life With Intention

The rest of 2021 was focused on achieving all the goals I outlined at the beginning of the year; investing in our future financial independence and, more importantly, investing in experiences that will continue to pay memory dividends for the rest of our lives. These months have been filled with lots of laughs, learning experiences, … Continue reading Investing
