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

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
