Happy New Year! The year 2013 was a very busy year for us, seeing as much as we could in Italy and then moving to Bahrain. Let's take a look at our year.
January
We took a trip to Sicily with friends Glenn and Jody.
February
We visited Krakow and Auschwitz in Poland.
March
The Leaning Tower of Pizza reached the ceiling!
April
We realized we were leaving in a couple months, so we started focusing on the ol' bucket list. We took a weekend trip to the Gargano Peninsula in Southern Italy.
May
This month was really busy, mostly because we were trying to pack everything in! Meagan came to visit, we went hiking twice, and we went to the Montecassino Abbey and Ninfa Gardens. Whew!
June
In June, Tim did the Volo dell'Angelo, or the Flight of the Angels. We also went to a festival for the purpose of buying olive oil (it's really good olive oil!). After moving out of our house in the middle of the month, we did a last hurrah of Lake Como, Switzerland, and Mont Blanc, France, before heading out to sandy, hot Bahrain.
July
After moving to Bahrain, I took a trip home, the first in 3 years!
August
In August, we moved into our house, and I got a job teaching 3rd grade.
September
Fail! In September we didn't take any pictures! We basically spent the month settling into our house and new jobs.
October
In October, it finally became cool enough to start taking evening walks over the Hidd Bridge.
November
A trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates- camels, tall buildings, and sand dunes, oh my!
December
We went home for Christmas for the first time in 4 years! We had a great time catching up with family and friends, snowboarding, and shopping (Oh, Target, how I have missed you!).
What's next?
The day after Christmas, we found out that Tim got accepted for a transfer to the Foreign Area Officer community. We can't wait to see what new adventures 2014 brings for us!
