A quick weekend getaway for the Riches..... Ricardo was asked to teach a weekend Masters course in Granada, so we headed south....

Tennessee Christmas

How nice looking back on these pictures from our trip home for the holidays. What wonderful memories with great friends and family. We were so lucky to have a full month home to spend with everyone and look forward to another visit to Tennessee next week!!

Never complete without a stop at Crackie Berry

A quick trip to our favorite city

We love us some New York City! Since Ricardo was flying thru NY on his way to TN for Christmas, we decided to meet him up there for a quick weekend in the city. Christmas lights, Rockefeller Tree, Central Park, Pizza in Little Italy, High Line Park a bit of shopping... Quick weekend, but we had a blast- and so did C!

Winter break to the beach

Carolina Days.... To kick-start our month long trip home, we headed to Isle of Palms, South Carolina to enjoy a week at the company beach house at Wild Dunes. Babaw, Grammy, Carolina and I set sail for a wonderful week away. What wonderful memories and Weather!!

Back in Action!

3 months later..... Yes- we are that behind..... However I really like having a place where I can post the highlights of our trips and life adventures- so time for a little back-blogging.

After having a wonderful 15 months off for maternity leave (only working a week or so a month this past year).... I returned to work full time in January. The job of my dreams for the past 3 years, the one that took me all over the world and added a 1,000+ colleagues and new friends to my life has sadly come to an end. I am forever blessed that I was able to stay on with the company during my time home with Carolina and even more grateful that with the closure of this job, I was offered a position to join our team in Copenhagen on some project work with our top leaders. This currently means lots of week trips to Denmark for me and that Carolina has started daycare (which she absolutely is loving!).

 

So, I'm a little slow these days trying to learn our new pace of life- but hope to get caught up on what we've been up to the past few months. Stay tuned....
