Life in General or Major?

Goodness it seems like to keep up with what's happening here in Croatia I would need to post daily, yea I guess I do.

I haven't even told you about English class or Friend Day or Saturday J&R or any of the regular things I do each week.

It's interesting, the other day I was hanging out in the office with my sweetie and staring out the window when I said that nothing ever happened here and I had nothing to write about. He looked at me and said something that translated in my mind to this:

What are you talking about? You live in Europe, you speak a different language, you eat foods that others don't even know exist and everything around you is different than that of most of your readers.

and do you know what, he's right, or at least my auto-translator was right. Life here is different.

We have been here almost 9 years and after 9 years most things are hum-drum now. "Ain't" nothing new around here or at least that's how it seems. I have forgotten that thrill that newness brings. When we were first here in 2000, every day was an adventure. There were new tastes and sights everywhere I turned. I could have written 3 blog posts a day back then.

Anyhoo, I realize we live in a very unique situation and if I try hard enough I may find some pretty interesting happenings around me. I know God wants us to live an abundant life here in Croatia and I guess it's about time I start doing that.

I think I'm going to start a weekly post called I Love Croatia and maybe through that I'll see some of the wonderful sites and sounds I have grown way too accustomed to.

Okay so I'm rambling, I know but that's me and how my mind works, I'm sure you understand!


Wanted to share with you one of my favorite places in all of Croatia. Plitvička Jezera is one of the most enchanting places on earth, I think anyhow, just one of the lovely sites Croatia has to offer.
