Happy New 2015!

Life is lived at its fullest here. It is complex and roller-coaster like. I was invited to a spa day on the eve of the new year. And it tuned out to be much more than I expected. Then I dragged Conrad to church (I need to figure out a balance for his sanity’s sake – Romanian overload with little wiggle-room) then we got together with our close friends and celebrated the end of 2014 and the beginning of a new chapter that we have no idea how it will turn out.

The kids played and played for hours, and I can’t imagine the get-together without them. They stayed up late, they ate cake, they were involved in the grownup world and it was peaceful.

It’s a parallel universe here. And I miss the little Hanneman boys, the DeSart boys, Nathanael and Kristofferson… Happy new year mom and dad! We love and miss you!
