Re-post: Celebrating 1 Year Overseas!


Ok, here is a re-post of a video celebrating 1 year of living overseas. This upload should be available for all to see this time. This slideshow is of favorite places we have seen and things we have done since living in Europe over the last year. Before moving to Ireland I had been to a handful of states (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona, Texas, Florida, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Georgia, Lousianna) and just three countries outside of the U.S. (Canada, Mexico, & Thailand). This was over 27 years of life. Over the last year alone I traveled to 7 countries and multiple cities- Praise God! Here is where we were able to go over the last year...

  • Dublin Ireland

  • Ring of Kerry, County Kerry, Ireland

  • Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland

  • West Coast, County Mayo, Ireland

  • Belfast, Northern Ireland

  • Edinburgh, Scotland

  • The Highlands & Loch Lomond, Scotland

  • London, England

  • Cambridge, England

  • Paris, France

  • Rhine River Valley, Germany

  • Mainz, Germany

  • Rome, Italy

  • Kusadasi, Turkey

  • Miletus, Turkey

  • Ephesus, Turkey

  • Samos, Greece
There are still so many places we want to go to and, God willing, we'll make it. We love to have visitors over to travel with so feel free to come to Ireland or meet us somewhere else in Europe!

Also of note in this slideshow are the few pictures we have of our Spades World Tour with the Jankowski's. From the first time we played Spades with them we were hooked and enjoy non-stop games of Spades everytime we are together. Since they are our traveling buddies we have played Spades in a few different countries and hope to travel and play with them all over the world! So far we have played in...

San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico
Tucson, Arizona
Strawberry, Arizona
Dublin, Ireland
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Edinburgh, Scotland
Kusadasi, Turkey

...hence the title "Spades World Tour." I am hoping for Spades World Tour Cairo, Athens, Petra, and Jerusalem while we are over on this side of the world (hint, hint Jankowski's)

finally the slide show! we have yet to design and produce the spades world tour t-shirts, particularly when ours would have to say 'global champions' and yours would have to say 'second runner up'!
