Living It Up!

We've been absent from the blog for quite a while, but it's for a good reason: For the last eight months, we've been busy spending face-to-face time with many of you! We traveled to the U.S. last May, and spent the summer and fall making memories, visiting people and places that we love, and re-connecting with lots and lots of friends and family! I'm not even going to try to blog about all of the amazing experiences that we had, but here are just a few highlights:

We soaked in some gorgeous sights, like this one...
this one...
this one...
and this one!

We ate our favorite American foods, like Blue Bell ice cream 
(even better when you can eat it with your cousins!)...
corn dogs (a new discovery for Sarah Claire this year!)...
and lots of Chick-fil-A!
(not to mention all the other foods we enjoyed, like steak, seafood, Tex-Mex, barbecue, and so much more...)

We enjoyed sweet reunions with friends...
and family...
and made some fun memories with them, like a color run...
and a visit to Disneyworld!

We enjoyed American sports like baseball...
and FSU football!

We had a blast celebrating U.S. holidays like Halloween...
 and getting to be with extended family for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

We even got to make an exciting announcement while we were still in the U.S.!

It was an incredible year, and we are so grateful for the opportunities we had. We're back on the other side of the ocean now, but still treasuring the sweet memories we made, new friendships we started, and the encouragement we got from so many of you. Check back soon for an update on our adventures on this side of the world!
