When we first married, we moved to Costa Rica, which was fabulous. I don&#8217;t think either of us would have guessed back then that we would quit our jobs in Little Rock and continue moving around the world. We&#8217;ve had a great time, and I&#8217;m thankful everyday that I snagged such a wonderful husband!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">To celebrate, John took me out to a nice dinner at a new restaurant, Polanco. He had octopus and I had delicious bacon-wrapped scallops &#8211; yummy!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Monday was a holiday, so we had a four-day work week, although it felt like a six-day work week! We are so busy. Usually our passport demands drops a bit after the first of the year, but this year it&#8217;s actually gone up. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Last Sunday, ours friends Tom and Max had us over for a nice home-cooked meal. They were both early adopters of John&#8217;s book club and we&#8217;ve enjoyed their company. Max&#8217;s tour is coming to an end, so they&#8217;ll be heading out soon for their next posting in Norway. We&#8217;ll miss them!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">John has been busy this week writing a paper for Army War College. He&#8217;s doing really well in the class and learning a lot!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary on Friday &#8211; hard to believe it&#8217;s been that long.
