This year has gone by very fast! It does not feel like one year to either Robb or myself. A couple of weeks ago we were talking about how we felt our first year has gone and what we might do differently in the next year. The thing that came up for both of us was to live in the moment and to really "be" here. We felt as though we spent much of our time during our first year in a transitional mode - living in a transitional house (which, incidentally, we have decided to stay in for our next year!), adjusting to, and even still getting used to the traffic and driving (or should I say drivers!), the so different time factor in that everything really does take longer, and visitors and people selling things (like Mama Samaki who sells fish) always require time, usually when you are "busy"!
We miss our families and friends, and are so thankful for so many who faithfully keep in touch! It has been difficult at times to be away for things like holidays, birthdays, Char's nieces 18th birthday, her high school graduation, and seeing her off to university soon.
As we enter into our second year we are prepared to persevere and finish well!
