I went back to school after finishing university - twice. Once, for extra coursework and the 2nd time for my master's. Since going back the first time, I've bought and sold 3 houses, and bought and hung on to one. I've moved out of the home country and changed career paths more than a couple of times. But through it all, my family and my friends have stood by me. The night I gave birth to Munchkin #1, one of my closest girlfriends drove for something like 5 hours through the night, in the middle of horrific storms, to be there with me. Those kinds of gestures one just doesn't ever forget. The husband and I decided to lease out our villa in the home country rather than put it up on the market. I can't say how tickled I am at the happy response to that news from our family and friends. It means so very much. Living as an ex-pat life is this totally out of control uncertain thing. Now, I love adventure, so being an ex-pat is not a bad thing in my little world. But, I like to 'plan,' and living this life one simply can not 'plan' like one does back in the home country.
Well, I'm off to school parties for the munchkins. I promised to bring the grapes - an expensive and favorite snack food here!
Oh, and today's snap is from a fave playground we visit if we're out and about. We put a munchkin on each end and the Husband swings them around. The centrifugal force is awesome, and it's awesome good fun.
Peace.
