Holy crap guys, I guess I haven’t shared resolutions since 2015! See them here. Katie has been more diligent, here are her 2016 and 2017 resolution posts and here are her 2019 resolutions. Inspiring, yeah? Here’s a look back at 2018 – These were the main things I had hoped to accomplish, some went better than others.
If you’re traveling or teaching abroad, chances are you’ve missed a holiday at home. Sometimes holidays pass without you noticing, but other times you miss the cookies, the family time, and the traditions that make each holiday complete.
