Daily Reflections

I

swam in the sea

had fresh eggs from the farm

walked daily on the beach

picked olives, figs, sweet cherries, jalapenos, and tomatoes

 traveled to beautiful islands

met and made friends from all around the world

heard my daughter speak Spanish, English and Croatian all in one sentence

had the opportunity to meet the most wonderful man who brought thousands of smiles to my face

learned how to cook wonderful meals

and 

had gelato as part of my daily diet.

I 

did all of this

 during two of the most memorable, challenging, wonderful, happy years 

of living abroad.

Yes,

 Our happy to be living in Croatia moments have officially come to an end, 

(hubby has safely  reunited with us in Iowa).

But now it's time to create new memories and learn more, much more!

These past three months I've cherished the time spent with my family.

We will soon return to Colorado (our previous home state before moving overseas)

I hope to continue blogging

to take you along my travels within the United States

share my thoughts on raising a multilingual child

and deciding which language to speak at home.

Many family members live overseas

I do foresee traveling  from time to time 

Croatia won't be a distant memory 

but a daily reminder 

to have balance in everything 

I do.
