Cologne Christmas Markets and a Milestone

Happy Birthday!!!  Today my blog is one year old. 

I can't believe it's been a year already, and what an amazing year.  

I look back over the 150 post and I can't believe everything that I've experienced.

From those first posts about saying goodbye, the posts about waiting,

and now feeling so much more settled.  

We moved here in January 2012 which means it's almost time for my

One Year Well-Expat Check up.

I have quite a bit of reflecting to do about this year.

I don't say it enough, but thank you so much for those of you who take the time

to read and comment on my little corner of the internet.

You've made me laugh, cry, and let me know I'm not alone in this journey. 

I'm so thankful for the connections I've made and maintained through this blog.  

Thanks for the warm fuzzies!!

My brother also celebrated a birthday this week!  Happy Birthday, Bubba!!
I miss you like crazy and can't for you to come visit.
Soon, please!!!

xoxo

P.S.  Here are the photos from the Cologne Christmas Markets.  Such a fantastic weekend.  Christmas Markets will now be an annual tradition.  My new goal in life is to make sure that I get to experience them with Sugar Bear.  She is gonna LOVE it!!!

 

 

Check out that chocolate camera!!

 I think we should all go in costume next year.
