2016!!! Love this trend. A lot has happened in 10 years. Makes me sad and happy at the same time. The beginning of 2016 had us living in Japan, and preparing to move back to the states (San Diego) after 3 1/2 years abroad! We had an almost 2 year old), I had been a yoga teacher for 1 year (many of my first students were marines!!), and Stephen was active duty. My mom and dad were still living in Florida, the state that was my home too before Japan. I was running and training for races so much in these days. Takes me back to such a sweet time our lives.
I love where we are at now, but I loved those days too! My heart will always be torn between Japan, FL, and CA…. I always feel the most alive when I go for a run, and our girl still loves gymnastics as much as she did when she was a baby, if not more… we’ve been in our house now 4 years, the longest we’ve lived anywhere. Stephen starts his next career this month, and later this spring marks 11 years for me teaching yoga💓💞
What a beautiful 10 years it has been.
