32 Days and Counting

Well it appears the boys and I will be missing the severe New Caledonian winter. Winter I expect should be one of the several weeks when we return home to Canada. We are quite anxious at this point. Each day the talk of home starts early and doesn't end until their day does. Its difficult not to make promises fulfilling all their expectations of the upcoming holiday. People to see, places to go, things to get, the list gets longer with each passing hour.

Its really all about family, but its fun to catch up with old friends to stay connected even if your only nine. (Nine, where did the years go?)

Speaking of catching up, Alana will eventually catch up with us, at which time my entire extended family will hold up for a week on a 150 acre country retreat.

The holiday for the most part is about living for free with our siblings. Its a little awkward taking advantage of them when you live in the same area, so this works out well, being so far from our things. I do hope it goes well as we have the potential to really make this work for us financially, providing we never move back, and extend our vacations a little each year.

When I anticipate my holiday I often reflect back to those unforgetable, moments from previous years. Moments like this. Enough said!
