"525,600 Minutes
525,600 Moments So Dear
525,600 Minutes
How Do You Measure - Measure A Year?
In Daylights - In Sunsets
In Midnights - In Cups Of Coffee
In Inches - In Miles
In Laughter - In Strife

In - 525,600 Minutes
How Do You Measure
A Year In The Life..."

Some days it feels like forever and others it feels like yesterday. It has officially been 1 year since we boarded our eastbound flight to live in Helsinki, Finland. We are not even to our halfway point, but I have this magical feeling everything is downhill from here...or at least that is what I am praying!

Looking back we have not had the easiest year. Many obstacles, challenges, and tribulations were thrown in front of us. Through those times we have grown closer and stronger as a family. Despite the downs, a few ups were given to us also. Helsinki had their shortesst winter ever! A typical winter in the city last 120 days, this year only lasting 40. A real gift for this Texan living here.

We have taken amazing vacations, seen beautiful countries, and experienced more than I ever imagined. Here is to the completion of our first year of living abroad!
