32 years old!

Yikes! Another year gone by, quicker than the last!  With Skye here, time is relentless, and is cruising by at warp speed. That reminds me how much I miss any new Star Trek TV and movies. The new movie will be awesome, I’m sure, but it won’t be the same without Data and that cast.  :(

Ha! Wow, anyways, yeah, the big 3-2!  Well my 30th bday was a little rough emotionally, but what a difference 2 years makes. My life is full, and I can sincerely think of nothing I want, but continued good health for my family and friends. Maybe that’s why I am taking on Europe. I’m finally at a place where I can ask the universe, what else does this big world offer, now that I have it all?  A strange little country on the edge of the world?  OK, we’ll try that.

Here’s to the next two years being as full as the last!

the move

My boss, Michal, has given us the opportunity to move to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, for work. He has opened up an EGI office, Energy & Geoscience Laboratory (yellow push-pin in center) there, which is where he is from.

When he first proposed this to me a few years ago, we were pretty apprehensive. Along with my mom’s poor health, Benjam’s work and trying to conceive, it didn’t seem like a good idea. Now, I’m kinda really excited for the adventure and culture shock!
