One More Year

For those of you that don't know yet, we extended Brent's work contract for another year. We decided that we aren't quite done living here (for several reasons) and Brent's work team is short a few people this year so they asked him to stay on. So now we are moving back to LA around February 2012.

It's a little strange having a definite end to this whole adventure. Basically, we have 52 more weeks to get the most out of it. We re-evaluated the list we made back in 2009 of all the places we want to see and discovered that there is a lot left to do, so we better get cracking.

This year will include trips to Spain, The Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, the Baltics via a cruise, Moscow, Devon/Cornwall, Scotland and lots of London catch-up (museums, shows, etc that we haven't done yet). Phew! It sounds exhausting but I honestly don't know how I could live with myself if we moved back and we hadn't seen all these places.

To start it all off, tomorrow morning we are jumping on a plane to spend the weekend in Barcelona. Olé!

How fun Emily! We miss you, but I'd stay too. :) Spain is one of my dream trips, Adam's too. I know we will get there one day. Take lots of pictures and enjoy.

Emily, that's great! Not that it matters what I think, but I think you made the perfect choice! How many times will you have this opportunity in your life and you're taking full advantage of it! Have fun with your travels!
