Thanks For the Memories...

It's hard to believe how quickly time flies until I realize that we have had our Belgian address and posted on this blog for almost 6 years. Bitter-sweetly, the time to say goodbye to Brussels has finally arrived. Even as I type this, the movers are here bubble wrapping knick-knacks, boxing books, and crating furniture. Occasions like this generally cause one to stop and reflect, and we are no exception. The past few weeks found our minds filled with memories of exciting adventures, fascinating world travels, and engaging personal development all of which stretched our physical, emotional and intellectual boundaries. What struck us most, though, were the visits by numerous treasured friends and family members. We know that Brussels doesn't rank highly on many "must visit" lists so the fact that these people tacked on extra days and travel expenses to their trips just to see us or even made us the main attraction deeply moved our hearts. Thanks to those of you who came and for adding your special touch to our lives in Belgium! We will carry those moments in our hearts always!
