Next week, we hit the road again for yet another adventure! First, we're leaving Wednesday to go to Bavaria for a ski trip that my husband's office is doing. I've never been skiing, and I probably won't start next week. I'm mostly looking forward to seeing the Alps in winter and playing in the snow with Sasha. Oh, and hot tubs. I love me some hot tubs! Regan is all geared up to go snowboarding. It's been a very dry winter up here, so he and his friend haven't been able to go snowboarding at all like they did last year. Then, a few days later, we're going to leave our group in Bavaria and drive down to Venice, Italy to get on a cruise ship! That's right. We're headed on a 10 day Mediterranean cruise! INSANITY!!!
Sometimes I just have to take a step back and pinch myself. What kind of life am I living?? I never would have thought, not in a million years, that I'd be able to do HALF of what we've done while living in Europe! I've been working on my bucket list a lot lately and while searching the internet for inspiration, I came to the realization that we've done a lot of things that other people only get to dream about. It makes me feel ungrateful, really. I need to do a better job of appreciating our time here and really living in the moment instead of always looking ahead.
Anyway, I got off topic a little bit. Other than that CRAZY trip coming up, we don't have anything else planned for the near future! It will be nice to just stay home for a little while, I think. Traveling is SO fun (it's pretty much my favorite thing), but sometimes you just need to rest and rejuvenate!
Changing the topic completely now, I keep feeling like Sasha is SO CLOSE to talking, but he just can't spit the words out. His babbling has really changed in the past few weeks - it sounds totally different and there's a LOT more of it. He always tries to talk to me (and the cats) and he even seems frustrated that I don't understand him. He's still only saying a handful of "real" words, but I just keep feeling like one day, he's just going to explode with language! I'm so looking forward to that.
Nothing much has been going on this week, even though I feel like we've been really busy. We've gone somewhere every day, but it's just errands - nothing exciting. I guess what next week is for!
