Imagine you are reading this at the end of 2023…it will make it better, I promise! It is crazy to think that somehow we have managed to be living in the UK for a whole year now. This year abroad flew by with work, exploring our new home, travels, and quite a few visitors. We…

We welcomed our final guests of 2023 to celebrate Christmas with us in our new home in Kelsall. Yes, we recently moved (more on this in our next post). My parents and youngest sister, Molly arrived a few days before Christmas after a long journey from Wisconsin with some tight flight connections. They thankfully made…

Though it meant missing the King’s Coronation in England, we were eager to bask in the Spanish sunshine and explore all Barcelona had to offer.…
