9|11 remembered.

Ten years have passed since the 9/11 attacks on the US. I remember how I thought the world would never be the same again after it happended. For many reasons my tie to the US has always been strong, even before I met Heather in 1996.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who lost a loved one on 9/11.

If someone were to have asked me then if I would consider living in the US, I would most likely have said no.

It’s strange how things work out sometimes, in February of 2009, I found myself laid off from work, with the means and a plan to relocate. Now we have lived here for more than two years. I have gotten a chance to visit NYC during two business trips. Living here has taken a lot of getting used to, I have tried to have a positive attitude since we arrived, it has helped.

Good Night, and God Bless.

Virginia/Washington D.C. trip

This weekend we went to Virginia to visit the Udvar-Hazy Center (part of the Smithsonian Institution). We stayed two nights at Days Inn in Leesburg, Va.

The whole family (minus Rain) enjoyed it very much. The drive down was pleasant, driving home even better (no engine failure this time). Glad we got to go on a vacation before Alex started school.
