About this time last year, you were all getting ready with us as we changed our lives, and as we expected the unexpected. As I look over our Holiday video card, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to share all those countries and experiences with my family.

Yes, there was a ton of cranky moments, but the richness of what we lived is so full; we work every day (ok, not every day, mostly when we remind ourselves of what is important) to live in the moment like we did on our road trip.

The book experience is, well, not as straight forward. Revising a manuscript is a bit of a pain for someone who just likes stuff to be done (me. Glen’s process is never ending). So, maybe another 6 months to release?

As I breath through my sometimes Type A personality, I am remembering that it really doesn’t fricken matter when the book comes out…. it is, as they say, all about the journey… even when there are two kids in the back seat begging and crying to go back to their “Little Blue House”.

So, the new adventure: To be determined…. My idea was to hike part of the Appalachia trail, but life got in the way, and on one beautiful Friday morning, as I embraced enjoying life, I sprained my ankle while playing tennis. It has been 5 weeks, and I still can’t wear high-heel shoes. Ok, I never wear them, but if I wanted to, I couldn’t. I am wearing a hard-core brace & sneakers… attractive.

So, then we went to plan B… road trip, this time… on an RV. Friends of ours have one and are graciously letting us take it. We don’t know where we are going, and it won’t be for 2 months, but I have spotted a 2 week window where we have no weddings…. so, we are off end of July ….

Stay tuned for the new destination & for updates on how we have evolved as a family. Ok, forget I said the latter, maybe we are just the same, but a little bit freer. Maybe?

Oh, and yes, we will be blogging as much as possible. You won’t have a 2 month soap opera, but you’ll have a nice two week dramatic movie to enjoy! Thanks for all your support & for following us along!
