Happy Holidays!
GOD is good! We made it (the three of us!) to Germany for Christmas. It was really nice to spend the holiday week hanging out with G's parents. We even made them dinner one night. It wasn't anything special, just homemade pizzas (they are all about the Pepper Jack now!), but it felt good to have G's Mom sit back and relax for one night and enjoy a special meal that she didn't have to cook. She went above and beyond to make our Christmas perfect. She baked all of our favorite cookies and cakes and she even found vegetarian Wiener Schnitzel for me! How sweet is that? We also had an impromptu "garden party" with friends the night before we flew home. I will never get tired of the power of 'Danglish' and how the most simple translations produce pure comedy. And after a warm and fuzzy Christmas with G's parents, tomorrow, my Mom is flying in to spend the first week of 2010 with us. Yaaahh!
As 2009 comes to an end, I find myself filled with gratitude. My little family of three is happy and healthy. Our parents and siblings are well. I am grateful for Yoga and the invaluable gifts I receive every day that I teach. G and I are still discovering so many things about our marriage and about ourselves. We are planning our future - adventures in India and Africa and FINALLY, making the decision to build a life here in the USA. And who knows...maybe even the pitter patter of little white chocolate feet:) For those of you that read this blog, thank you for taking a moment out of your busy life to read about mine. And as we slide into 2010, I wish you a safe and peaceful new year. The light in me honors the light in you - Namaste and Frohes neues Jahr!
