So...this blog has def. not been used a lot.  I created it a few years ago, thinking that it would be the best way to update friends and family on our travels and life overseas but facebook ended up being a better and more efficient way to do that, as we were so overwhelmed at first with language school, etc, etc. and by the time we had adjusted, a facebook group had taken off and there wasn't a need for this blog. But, now... I have decided to try and give this page a facelift and to start blogging more about our lives now that we're back stateside and figuring out how all that looks.  It feels a bit like we're starting over and in many ways we are...new home, buying new cars, new jobs, new purpose, etc.  Life as we knew it before in the US is over and we are totally different people now too so...here we go, I hope you enjoy!
