Without a doubt, the road to our second year of marriage was what I called The Year of Changes. In April of 2005 my mom and sister followed my dad over to Kuwait, and in May of the same year we did the same!
It was a whirlwind of a move (and you can read all about it in my spring/summer 2005 archives!).
We began our stay living with my parents in an apartment. It was tough, but when I look back on it I’m thankful for it.
Will had a job, but I had yet to get one. My sister and I spent that whole summer of 2005 literally locked inside the apartment day after day with nothing to do- but when I look back on it I’m thankful for that too.
We even took our first trip together, spending about a week in Qatar (um- once again, you can read about all that in the archives).
We went back home for Christmas that year and made a pit stop at the Mall of America and even caught a Packers game. It was lots of fun.
Will and I had a lot of adjustments to get used to- a new job, living with my family, eventually a new apartment, selling our condo back home, a new country, new customs- it was all so new!
But we managed- and came out stronger for it.
The road to year two was full of so many transitions and changes, all which I’m so thankful for. It was so fun moving to Kuwait and experiencing everything for the very first time. In fact- I’m starting to miss it just typing about it!
The road to year two was full of lots of fun- but most of all- lots of gigantic changes. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come!
Aww, I remember a lot of that! Love the pics...your sis esp looks young!!
You’ve done so much together...traveling and living in another country is SOMETHING, that’s for SURE!!
