it's amazing how fast time goes by. lately i have often found myself wondering where the hours, days, and weeks go. at times it seems they are over as quickly as they begin. yesterday was our six month anniversary from our wedding....and one year ago today, we were leaving Middleburg for Paris to get engaged. sometimes i think that it has to be more than that due to the amount of events that have happened over the last 12 months....but other times i wonder how it has already been another year.
a friend asked me on saturday what my hopes or goals were for 2008....i didn't know how to respond simply because, at this moment, i have given up "planning" life. if anyone would have told me 2 years ago where i would be now - i probably would have laughed in their face, yet here i am....so this year, i won't even try to imagine all the things to come.
sunday was stefan and i's 2nd oikos meeting. as i sat and looked at the faces around the room, i realized how familiar they each were. not only did i recognize the faces, but i knew stories behind them. i knew who people were and why they were in that room.....we were home. when did that happen? when did strangers become acquaintances and acquaintances become friends?
we're finally home.

Genae, I'm so glad you guys are feeling "at home" now. Must be weird with no family around and starting in a new place again. Wish we could see each other and be more part of your lives, but for now we'll have to try to stay close from a distance!
Tell my brother hello :) and make sure to check our blog for new pictures of your nieces soon!

I know you already told me this earlier last week. But it makes me happy to read it again. Yay. I just wish your home could be closer to my home...maybe it's easier to aim for my home being closer to yours though. I love you guys. And can't wait to see you again. it's been too long.
